Handicapper Tips & Picks

Two Rivelli runners in here so have to figure if both run or not. I expect they do, as I'll to to 3-MOMENT TO SHINE on top. She has a couple of races under her belt, running well on debut at Churchill. Appears she may have bled on the poly at Turfway and returns here with the addition of Lasix. 7-WILDWOOD ENOUGH debuts with Lasix as she has worked well leading to this spot. She's taken a bit longer to get to the races though as she is a 4yo but the Fairmount drills are all solid. 5-SWEET LITTLE LISA is an excellent name for a racehorse. She also debuts with Lasix and has some snappy gate drills that suggest early speed.

The speed and recent starts benefit 3-SWEET FRAULEIN as she should be able to clear the time and possibly never look back. She ran a solid race on the class rise last out and likely won't have to work too hard to make the top. 1-BALI BABY is in from Gulfstream as she could find things easier here. She has some back class but has run a pair of poor recent races. The question is if she can turn things around with the venue change. What to do with 2-LITTLE BELLA? You look at her races on paper and she's a complete standout. The issue is those races were in 2020! Long, long long layoff, but consistent works. Guess we find out what we have today.

Competitive bunch here as you can look a few different ways. 3-TIMELESS GLORY likely hasn't been able to find the right spot in Indiana so she comes our way as she figures to rate in the second flight early and run on in the lane. Just one easy drill since the layoff but the race could set up perfectly for her. 6-BERTRADA was a good winner while sprinting last out. She will be flattered if Sweet Fraulein wins the 2nd as they come out of the like race last out. She stretch in distance is the only concern but she likes this surface and figures to be a part of the early pace. If contested upfront, 5-ON A TOUR could be the beneficiary. She comes in off the claim for this spot as she won her last at the distance. She likes this track and just needs enough pace to chase.

Can't fault 4-SEAWARD for heading to Belterra for a few starts as she won two of three and now returns. She ran well here in her start four back as she was overlooked at the windows but I expect she takes more action today. 6-LONG TALL WOMAN loves this track as she has finished ITM in 18 of 19 Hawthorne starts. She has some run last last out but hasn't been quite as sharp as she was here last fall. 7-FIRST KITTEN has speed but may have company as well. She was a good winner two back but just ran evenly in the lane when she didn't make the top last out.

Potential for a crazy fast pace in here as 4-5 for head for the top. 10-RARE ACTION ATTACK may get the perfect setup as she draws out but gets an added 16th today. Expect her to settle in early and look to rally in the stretch. 5-APRIL'S GEM ran well last out as well, closing some ground late. She also should benefit from the pace to chase as she should rate closer early than Rare Action Attack likely will. 6-STACY ATTACK may need to avoid being a part of a pace battle as her best chances could come if she races from just off the pace. She has a pair of wins at the distance as she runs for a barn that has had a huge meet.

He's had so many opportunities but today has to be the day for 8-TAHOE RUN. He just missed in his last couple and has five runner-up performances. Look for some early speed from him once again. 3-LARRY THE POET chased last out but just ran evenly in the lane. He's going to take action as well but was four lengths behind Tahoe Run when the field crossed the wire last out. 1-EASY FAST is another with speed who held his own last time out. He took action in the spot as he was favored and a little bit of early traffic trouble may have compromised him slightly.

A really good field here as you can't go wrong with any of these runners. 1-GOLDEN HORNET could be the fastest to the front as he ran a big race last out. With the rail draw, expect to see early speed from him. He could have company from 2-W W SCOUT'S HONOR if that one chooses to go. I think he's going to rate though as he settled nicely last out and almost got up in time for the victory. 4-WENT WEST can't be dismissed at a price. He has been away since last October, but Roussel always has his horses ready and this barn popped with a nice winner on the grass earlier in the meet.

It wasn't a bad effort from 12-MALIGATOR last out but I really think this one will be a great fit for Centeno. There's some early pace in here as Maligator figures to settle early and rally in the lane. Look for an improved effort in his second start of the meet. 7-IOYA AGAIN is proven on the grass as he also figures to rally in the lane. He closed too late last out but is another likely to benefit from a swift early pace. 3-MIDNIGHT BLUE NOTE has some tactical speed as he should sit closer early. He stretches out following the sprint try in his last and figures to be a factor in the stretch.
