Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks
Fair Grounds - Race #4
Picks Notes
#6 Strummer She was in too tough off the sneaky good debut when trying stakes company, and she stayed on well enough in the slop in her first two-turn try. She'll get on the grass and should get a nice tactical trip.
#4 Hotmolly Took to the turf nicely enough going short last out, and she handled two turns at LaD last fall, so this turf route might work out well for her.
#1 Kuhlke Finished fast from well off the pace in the turf debut, and she can probably sit a little bit closer in the early stages than she did in that turf run.
Race Summary Strummer has hinted at a mild touch of talent in a couple starts, and perhaps this turf route will agree with her to get the job done.
Fair Grounds - Race #6
Picks Notes
#8 Honorary Guest Gets Lasix for the first try for the new team, and she took a nice step forward when getting on the lawn for the first time. This is a logical spot to try her locally, and an ace turf rider signs on.
#3 Paytience Pays Debuts for Cox, so it's tough to toss her with any confidence but they obviously don't think she's a star or she wouldn't be in here. Willing to try to beat her.
#6 Outkickthecoverage She just missed in the turf debut, and both of her two-turn efforts have been really solid. She looks like the one to beat.
Race Summary Honorary Guest woke up on the turf, and she'll meet a modest enough group for her local debut. If she steps forward just a bit here for the new team, she's tough.
Fair Grounds - Race #8
Picks Notes
#4 Grand Isle Girl She has been a reliable type over this turf course, landing three runner-up finishes, and she's a good fit from midpack after graduating off the turf last out.
#3 B's Ten The March layoff is a bit of a concern, but the form stacks up favorably as she moves from one high-powered operation to another.
#7 Darling Joanna Reliable finisher stretched out on the turf with some success, just getting up late to graduate. It's never an easy step up to face winners, especially in a decent spot for the level, but she has done little wrong in three starts and should fire again here.
Race Summary Grand Isle Girl steps up to try winners, and despite scoring the maiden win on the dirt, she's at her best on the lawn and has a square-priced chance with these.
