Charles Town - Race #4 - Post: 8:25pm - Maiden Claiming - 4.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $17,000 Class Rating: 54

Rating:

#8 GREAT CAUSE (ML=7/2)
#1 PACIFIC GOLD (ML=8/1)


GREAT CAUSE - To play a thoroughbred off works, you have to know when to tell if a horse is fit. The fact that this filly worked recently at longer distance is a positive angle. Ranked at the very top in earnings per start (EPS). Another sign that this horse outclasses this field. PACIFIC GOLD - Starting from the inside, this horse should have a distinct edge. Her pace setting style should serve her well in this short race of 4 1/2 furlongs.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 FIFTH ILLUSION (ML=5/2), #5 STOP TALKING (ML=4/1), #9 ROYAL ATHENA (ML=6/1),

FIFTH ILLUSION - Not probable for this horse to do much running with no recent good showings in a sprint affair. Speed kills. Plenty of early zip in this affair compromises this animal's chances. STOP TALKING - If she goes off anywhere close to the morning line of 4/1, I'll have to pass. ROYAL ATHENA - This racer will most likely be way back as this group crosses the finish.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Play #8 GREAT CAUSE to win if you can get odds of 3/2 or more
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [1,8]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Pass
SUPERFECTA WAGERS:	Pass

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 4 STARTDFROMDABOTTOM 2/1
# 5 HAKMAN 3/1
# 9 QUALITY MAN 4/1

STARTDFROMDABOTTOM looks competitive to best this field. Has a sharp shot for this event if you like back class. Has been travelling strongly and has among the strongest speed in the race for today's distance. Leon has a win percentage of 18 over the last 30 days. HAKMAN - Reason to like this gelding as he has in the irons one of the best jocks using winning percentages over the last 30 days. The average class figure of 58 makes this one difficult to beat. QUALITY MAN - Could beat this group given the 60 speed rating earned in his last outing.

Gulfstream Park - Race #6 - Post: 3:41pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $30,000 Class Rating: 80

Rating:

#1 DEM A WONDER (ML=5/2)
#3 LIFECHANGINGEVENT (ML=3/1)


DEM A WONDER - Jockey hops back up on board after getting to know the beautiful animal by riding last time out. That's always a good to see. The jockey/handler duo of Ortiz and Crichton has a strong ROI together. This filly is rounding her way back into shape. Should run well today. LIFECHANGINGEVENT - Don't often see a beneficial return on investment like +49. This jockey/trainer tandem has done well together over the last 12 months. This filly's last speed rating is lofty enough to win here, I'll wager on her back again this time out. Ranked number 1 in earnings per start (EPS). Another indication that this animal outclasses this field.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 TIME'S ON MY SIDE (ML=4/1), #5 SHE'S CLASSY (ML=9/2), #6 MISS ITALY (ML=6/1),

TIME'S ON MY SIDE - Today's event is 6 furlongs. Hasn't finished in the money in a sprint affair in the last 60 days. Not the best of signs. SHE'S CLASSY - The pace scenario just isn't too promising for this front-runner. Many other thoroughbreds would have to scratch to promote her dreams at winning. MISS ITALY - In the last race this racer finished fourth. Doesn't look good for her chances this time around. Doubtful that the rating she earned on February 7th will be good enough in this race.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	#1 DEM A WONDER is the play if we get odds of 9/5 or better

Race 7 - Claiming - 8.3f on the Dirt. Purse: $12500 Class Rating: 92

FOR FOUR YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD WHICH HAVE NOT WON TWO RACES SINCE AUGUST 17, 2020. WEIGHT, 123 LBS. CLAIMING PRICE $5,000. TEXAS BRED CLAIMING PRICE $6,250.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 1 A P'S BLUEGRASS 3/1
# 2 FLASH FORCAST 2/1
# 3 STARSHIP ZEUS 4/1

I back A P'S BLUEGRASS here. With Doyle controlling the reins on him, this horse will almost certainly be able to break out sharply in here. Should be considered in this contest if only for the very strong speed figure posted in the last contest. This horse obviously likes the distance, going 4 for 19 in his races lately. FLASH FORCAST - He has been travelling very well as of late while recording very solid speed figures. Gustafson has a strong 24 percent win rate with entries running at this distance and surface. STARSHIP ZEUS - Diodoro has this gelding running well and is a strong selection based on the competitive Equibase Speed Figures earned in route races as of late. He should be given a shot given the strong speed numbers.
