Tennis | Rafael Nadal vs Cameron Norrie
Play on: OVER 17½ -130

Event: ATP Barcelona
Pick: Over 17.5 Games
This total is far too low, this version of Rafael Nadal on clay is nowhere close to his best, Cameron Norrie can keep this match competitive.
Nadal has dropped a set in both of his victories this week, he needs match time and rhythm to regain his confidence.
Norrie isn't regarded as a good clay court player due to being British and not growing up/developing on the surface, his lefty game is quite well suited to dealing with slower, higher bouncing balls however.
Norrie lost in straight sets to Nadal at the Australian Open but two of those had a 7-5 scoreline, Nadal's game isn't as effective against left-handers as there are more forehand crosscourt exchanges than usual, against a right hander his forehand curls towards their backhand wing.
A 6-3/6-3 defeat for Norrie still cashes this total, he's more than capable of staying with this version of Nadal for a long period of the match.

Race 9 - Maiden Claiming - 8.0f on the Turf. Purse: $35000 Class Rating: 84

FOR MAIDENS, FILLIES THREE YEARS OLD. WEIGHT, 124 LBS. CLAIMING PRICE $50,000, FOR EACH $2,500 TO $45,000 2 LBS.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 1 SHOUT IT OUT 5/1
# 5 FOR THE GOOD TIMES 5/1
# 2 HYLAND HAVEN 8/5

SHOUT IT OUT is the most favorable wager in this race. Has been running admirably lately and will most likely be up near the front end early on. FOR THE GOOD TIMES - Don't let this filly slip past you. Could win at big odds. Last time out, this filly was up against a much tougher crew. HYLAND HAVEN - Has a very solid shot here if you like back class. Earned a decent Equibase speed fig last time out.

Lone Star Park - Race #6 - Post: 4:55pm - Maiden Claiming - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $13,000 Class Rating: 48

Rating:

#6 SCARLETT O'HANNA (ML=6/1)
#7 STAR IN THE SKY (ML=3/1)


SCARLETT O'HANNA - Was in a $5,000 Maiden Claiming race at Sam Houston last out. That event had a class figure of 62 and she is moving down right here in this race. A certain contender. STAR IN THE SKY - Faced tougher last time around the track at Golden Gate Fields. Based on Equibase class ratings, this is a weaker field, so I will put this animal on my list of strong contenders.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 TELLURIDE QUEEN (ML=5/2), #4 THE TIME'S RIGHT (ML=4/1), #8 REALLY LUCKY (ML=5/1),

TELLURIDE QUEEN - This chalk horse may be out of form without any recent workouts. THE TIME'S RIGHT - This pony ran a somewhat easily forgotten speed fig last out. She shouldn't improve and will probably suffer defeat in today's race running that figure. REALLY LUCKY - Doesn't appear to have enough positive qualities to bear out the reward.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Putting our cash on #6 SCARLETT O'HANNA to win. Have to have odds of at least 5/2 or better though
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [6,7]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Pass

Race 6 - Allowance - 300y on the Dirt. Purse: $29000 Class Rating: 76

QUARTER HORSE 300Y, FOR TEXAS ACCREDITED THREE YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD WHICH HAVE NEVER WON TWO RACES. THREE YEAR OLDS, 125 LBS.; OLDER, 128 LBS.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 10 D SLASH AND DASH 10/1
# 8 PANCHOS FIRST KISS 6/1
# 1 ZEF GARCIA SEIS 20/1

I lean toward D SLASH AND DASH in this race especially at a such a nice price. Will likely be one of the leaders of the bunch going into the midpoint of the race. PANCHOS FIRST KISS - The equipment change of blinkers going off today will almost certainly make a difference. Looks solid for the conditions of this contest today, showing solid numbers in short races recently.

Rating:

#10 LIKELY CHOICE (ML=6/1)
#11 DESPEIGHT ALL ODDS (ML=4/1)


LIKELY CHOICE - When Russell and Rubley join forces on equines the ROI has been fantastic at +103. You may want to discount that last event at Laurel on a sloppy track where she finished off the board. Should do well in this race on a fast track. The 61 last race speed rating looks strong on paper. DESPEIGHT ALL ODDS - Have to make this filly a win candidate; she comes off a nice race on Apr 3rd. This filly is number one in earnings per start. Check out this thoroughbred in the saddling enclosure.

Vulnerable Contenders: #9 EDIE MEENY MINY MO (ML=3/1), #1 OXBOW CREEK (ML=6/1), #1A MOUNTAIN LILLY (ML=6/1),

EDIE MEENY MINY MO - Doesn't appear to be worth 3/1 today. Pass on her this time. OXBOW CREEK - If she goes off at the morning line of 6/1, I'll have to pass. MOUNTAIN LILLY - This filly probably won't be very close at the wire.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	#10 LIKELY CHOICE is the play if we get odds of 5/2 or better
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [10,11]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	None
