# 4 MUMBLES 7/2

# 7 HERO'S DIVIDE 5/2

# 3 BLACK LABEL 6/1

MUMBLES has a formidable shot to take this race. Has been running quite well and has among the best speed in the race for today's distance. He looks strong in this spot and I expect will be on the front end or close at the halfway point. Earned a decent speed figure last time out. HERO'S DIVIDE - Have to love when any equine makes a quick reversal of fortune. Always hard to beat Lemburg and Manrrique working together, winning 17 percent of their races. BLACK LABEL - Will almost certainly go to the lead and could never look back. Strong jock with conditioner numbers make this horse a strong choice.

# 2 IMPECUNIOUS 2/1

# 1 LUCKY ANTARES 7/2

# 4 PERFECTUS 6/1

My selection for this race is IMPECUNIOUS. Her 70 average has this filly with among the strongest speed figs in this competition. Hess makes a blinkers change (going on today), looking for positive results. Cedillo should be able to get this filly to break out early in this contest. LUCKY ANTARES - Specht has this filly travelling well and is a strong selection based on the decent Equibase Speed Figures put up in sprint races lately. Ran a strong last race. PERFECTUS - Strong chance today with second time Lasix. Could best this group of horses in this race based on the Equibase Speed Fig - 70 - of her last effort.

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#4 TURN UP THE LIGHTS (ML=5/2)
#2 DEACON'S HERO (ML=15/1)

TURN UP THE LIGHTS - Have to give this gelding a shot. Ran a strong outing last out within the last 30 days. This gelding is rounding his way back into shape. Should perform well today. Is ranked number one in the field in earnings per start (EPS). A powerful performance in this field can increase the lifetime bankroll. DEACON'S HERO - This gelding is put right back into a race in less than 10 days; this is a positive sign. This gelding likes to be near the lead. Today's affair is a shorter distance and should enhance his chances. I think this gelding is ready to run a good one. He's had enough efforts since the vacation and should be fit.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 CATFEINATED (ML=8/5), #5 EMPEROR T (ML=3/1), #6 NYM (MEX) (ML=4/1),

CATFEINATED - I cannot play this perpetual non-winner. Gets the assignment fulfilled infrequently. This gelding will probably bounce, and not come anywhere near the latest speed figure of 89. EMPEROR T - Could be tough for this horse to beat this bunch off of that last speed rating. Doubtful to improve enough to run a figure close enough to today's class figure, so put him on the questionable challengers list. NYM (MEX) - In any race of 7 furlongs, I like to wager on a contender that has been sharp in sprint contests recently. Awfully difficult to wager on this pony when he hasn't been showing any indications of eagerness of late. Mediocre speed rating in the last race at Sam Houston at 1 mile. Don't feel this runner will improve too much in today's race.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: The Brain - DEACON'S HERO - Finished a disappointing sixth at Sam Houston on February 14th. But that was on a muddy track. Expect much better in today's event.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Putting our cash on #4 TURN UP THE LIGHTS to win. Have to have odds of at least 7/5 or better though

#6 RIPE (ML=5/1)
#4 EL MAS PURO (ML=4/1)
#8 HIP FOUR O FOUR (ML=6/1)

RIPE - Nice return on investment for this jockey and handler duo. EL MAS PURO - I sense an early battle developing here. If that happens, this colt will be in the catbird's seat to rumble by the leaders. Have to give this colt a chance. Ran a sharp race last race out within the last thirty days. HIP FOUR O FOUR - I like to invest in this handicapping angle, a thoroughbred coming back off a sharp contest within the last 30 days.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 DRY MARTINI (ML=7/2), #1A DARING EGO (ML=9/2), #1 COASTAL HIGHWAY (ML=9/2),

DRY MARTINI - This gelding earned a speed fig in his last affair which likely isn't good enough in today's event. DARING EGO - Didn't close any ground at any point on January 30th. Hard to wager on this time around at the expected odds. COASTAL HIGHWAY - 9/2 is not pegged at the proper price for any thoroughbred in a sprint of 6 furlongs that hasn't hit the board in a sprint race of late. Don't feel this mount will make an impact in today's race. That last speed figure was pedestrian when compared with today's class rating.

#6 RIPE is the play if we get odds of 5/2 or better

Tommy Brunson

I would guess that the Bucks and the Raptors - who were both idle last night - will be more-than-ready to lace up their sneaks and get things going this Friday night in TO.

A look at series numbers when these teams meet at the Air Canada Centre shows 12 of the last 17 having pushed their way Over the posted total. Both meetings this season between the teams have indeed played High, and that includes their New Year's Day meeting that resulted in a 131-127 overtime win for the host.

Milwaukee went to the break having landed Over the total in 2 of their last 3, while Toronto entered the All-Star pause with Overs in each of their last 3 contests.

Always a big fan of looking for the points to add up when teams are playing regular season games after long layoffs, and this year's All-Star break qualifies as a long layoff.

Bucks-Raptors to land Over on Friday night.
