1) Hyperbaric (KY ) - Not a good showing in the Dubai Duty Free, but if you throw that one out he wired the Citation Handicap at Hollywood back in Nov. and won the previous 3 before that. Looks to bounce back after returning to the states
2) Whatsthescript (IRE) - After a good showing in the BC Mile last year he didn’t live up to expectation as the favorite in the Citation Handicap and finished out of the money. I like the fact that he is a beaten favorite and could improve, but Go Go didn’t think so as he is riding current morning line favorite 4-Ventura. Also hasn’t raced in 6 months. He has fallen a long was from this high Bayers from last summer
3) Storm Military (ARG) - This horse tangled with the 7-US Ranger earlier this year and won that match-up at the longer price. May have won the race if it had been run at today’s distance. Taking a step-up in class and downing 124 lbs. for the first time in his career. Would be useful on the bottom of exotic wagers.
4) Ventura (KY ) - Always a lady…Going up against the guys today hoping to not be disappointed as has happened the last two outings being “oh, so close”. The guys are spotting her 5 lbs and with Gomez on board we have the making of another W on the form. Not going to touch this horse unless I can at least get even money.
5) Dixie Chatter (KY ) - Has enjoyed the spring in Southern California (and who wouldn’t !?!?). Finished 3rd. behind the lady of this race and really has no excuse as he was given 3 lbs. Could be a solid pick as a Show wager if you could get 10-1, which could be possible as many will be on the favorite.
