Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks
Fair Grounds - Race #3
Picks Notes
#4 I'm D'Cat Finisher tends to settle for underneath pieces, but the recent form is fairly reliable, and maybe he can turn some tables here with a couple of them going in the wrong direction late.
#8 Run Rocket He just handled some of these in the two-back score, but he didn't rise to the occasion when stepping up to face better last out. He's a good fit right back in with this kind and wouldn't surprise as a late threat to score.
#3 Unrestricted He has gone the wrong way late in those two recent starts, but he isn't too far removed from the kind of form that would keep him in the mix with this kind. Chance.
Race Summary I'm D'Cat has some late appear here at what might be a playable price, as he has a fairly reliable finishing kick and might be able to get the best of Run Rocket as that guy drops off a dull try.
Fair Grounds - Race #5
Picks Notes
#8 Emro She has done nothing wrong through two starts -- landing a maiden win and then returning for a Kentucky Downs stakes score. She has a little bit of tactical pace and the ability to rate, and I'm excited to see what she can bring to the table today.
#9 Love and Money Her first two turf sprints were both super sharp, but she chased sort of evenly when trying stakes company last time out. She's a good fit with this group and can be tough if she's able to find the front turning for home.
#5 Inajiffy Finishing filly was not involved when trying stakes company last time out, but she was also racing off the bench with that tougher group. She's a better fit here and might be along late at a price.
Race Summary Emro is perfect from two starts and showed some finishing ability in the stakes score last time out, and she figures for a great trip while right up on the splits with capable players like Love and Money.
Fair Grounds - Race #7
Picks Notes
#5 Go Big Green Love that she has shown the kind of versatility to win races on the engine or from off the splits, and that should serve her well in a race where her main threat will get a tactical trip.
#3 Clara Peeters She has been knocking on the door with this type, but she'll need to hold form for this team after settling for second last out. Looks like the one to beat, but wouldn't be surprised to see her settle underneath again.
#4 Perfect Choice She has been consistent through four starts, but she was a little flat in the late stages of her local debut last time out. Perhaps she builds on that enough to stay in the frame today.
Race Summary Go Big Green can probably sit a bit closer this time around than she did in the big finishing score last time out, and she rises while in really good form to try this tougher group.
