Rating:



#6 PROUD LION (ML=5/2)
#1 SILLY IMAGE (ML=2/1)
PROUD LION - I like when a thoroughbred has dropped in class at least 5 pts like this one did last time out and then runs against a similar field right back. Rivera must've found the right class. Zip is always important in horse racing, but the lone speed horse is always dangerous. 52-56-67 are last three Equibase speed figs. Improving each time out is something he should do again in this race. SILLY IMAGE - Pena rode this mount for the initial time last time around the track and comes right back today. I like that last effort on Apr 17th at Golden Gate Fields where he ran second. Is ranked at the top in earnings per race. A strong effort in this event can increase the lifetime earnings. This gelding's last speed figure is good enough to score here, I'll play him right back this time around.
Vulnerable Contenders: #2 EFFECTIVE UNION (ML=7/2), #8 ANOTHER CHAPTER (ML=8/1), #7 ARKADIAN FOREST (ML=8/1),
EFFECTIVE UNION - Tough to play any horse in a sprint race if he hasn't finished in the money in a sprint in the last sixty days. Never really did much at all in the last race on March 20th. Hard to invest in today. ANOTHER CHAPTER - Should have at least finished in the money in the last couple months in a sprint race to be worth the risk at modest odds in a sprint. ARKADIAN FOREST - Today's event is 5 furlongs. Hasn't hit the board in a sprint affair in the last couple of months. Not the best of omens. That was just not a very good exhibition in the last event. Notched a mediocre speed rating last out in a Maiden Special race on April 11th. Not likely to see an improved performance off of that figure.
