#5 LITTLE RACHEL (ML=5/2)


LITTLE RACHEL - This filly usually does her best running late. Look for her back of the pack early in the race and rolling down the lane on the tiring speed horses. She finished in the place spot December 12th, but was well in front of the show horse. This jockey and conditioner are reliable together. Winning pct when teamed up is tough to beat. Garcia will try adding the 'hood' today in hopes of an improved performance. Another way to judge class is earnings per start. This horse has the uppermost in the field. I think she'll be close at the finish. Have to make this filly a strong challenger; she comes off a solid contest on Dec 12th.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 BYE BYE MISS PIE (ML=4/5), #2 PHAROAH'S HEART (ML=5/2),

BYE BYE MISS PIE - This filly almost certainly won't be really close at the finish. PHAROAH'S HEART - Doesn't look to have enough positive angles to bear out the reward.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - LITTLE RACHEL - Comparing last speed ratings in this field, nobody beats this filly. Tops in the field with a last speed rating of 93 on December 12th.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Put your money on #5 LITTLE RACHEL on the nose if you can get odds of 1/1 or more
EXACTA WAGERS:	5 with 4
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Pass

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 6 LADYS A CARTEL 2/1
# 4 ALL PRETTIED UP 6/1
# 8 VENTURA JESS JQM 7/2

My selection in here is LADYS A CARTEL. Is tough not to examine given the company run in recently. Has run very well when racing a short race. Could provide positive gains based on formidable recent speed figures with an average of 89. ALL PRETTIED UP - May best this field here, showing solid figures of late. Has performed very well lately in short races, posting a nifty 88 avg speed fig. VENTURA JESS JQM - Earned a reliable Equibase Speed Figure in the most recent race. Can run another good one in this race. She has to be given a shot given the very good speed numbers.
