Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks
Fair Grounds - Race #7
Picks Notes
#7 Freudian She's probably not offering much of a price in here, but she looks like a reliable player for the multi-race plays. She's back down to the level of the claim after trying special weight company last time out.
#3 Moon Over Tuscany She has a bit of pace to use at a trip that can often favor it, and she'll race with Lasix for the first time this afternoon. She's typically dicey late, but maybe she sticks around better today with Lasix?
#2 Awesome Samantha She took a little bit of cash in the debut with better here last month, but she showed only chasing pace before giving way. Homebred drops and gets two turns for the first time.
Race Summary Freudian has a few running lines that would probably handle these, and she chased a pretty tough winner who came back in stakes company off that maiden win. Dangerous pressing trip?
Fair Grounds - Race #8
Picks Notes
#2 House of Targaryen She definitely has some questions to answer while while in to try turf and two turns for the first time, but she ran her best races with cheaper and has a little pedigree for the turf. Interesting if she's anything like the 10/1 ML price. Playable on the dirt if this comes off.
#12 Priddis This MTO should be a much better fit here than in allowance company, and she rolled a group of cheap maidens at Delta two starts back. Forward player fits on the main.
#5 Country Time She's tactical, but she doesn't have a huge turn of foot and tends to be one-paced late. That said, she's quick enough to find a good spot, so she figures to be in the mix again here at what's probably a bit too short a price.
Race Summary House of Targaryen tries two turns for the first time today, and she has some interesting form with an eye to the turf, and she ran okay on the dirt in the past if it comes to that with rainy weather in the forecast.
Fair Grounds - Race #9
Picks Notes
#8 American First She didn't have a clean getaway in the career debut, but she finished with a bit of energy from far back. While this guy is logical for a team that does really good work with second-timers, I would want a mid-range price with an ice-cold jockey up.
#3 Golden Artist On paper I guess she's supposed to win this one, but she has just been missing that final gear to stick around in the final yards in her better races. Capable here.
#1 Satisfy U She ran well with similar in her local debut last out, and she might get a pretty good run of things from the rail draw. Maybe she still has a touch of upside, and she's in light today.
Race Summary American First might have gotten enough out of the debut run when showing late enthusiasm, and a cleaner start might keep her quite a bit closer in the early going today.
