Spotlight Tip Sheet

I had OK results last week with the Spotlight Tip Sheet.  So, where to bring the Spotlight this week?  Since things went OK, I thought we’d take it over to Oklahoma….the OK state!

RACE 1

1-Daytona Ice faces weak field and should have her way as heavy favorite.

3-All Conquistador should complete a very cheap exacta in this short field event.

RACE 2

13-Abusive debuted with a speed of 71.  Could top that in field with many unraced horses.

7-Sparkit On Cammand finished third twice, last with 68-speed.  Cat Thief colt could improve at a  steep price.

2-Haack’s Milker is well bred Tapit colt who is unraced favorite that could break maiden first time out.

RACE 3

8-Angry Candy goes route for first time and looks ready for it.  Gets edge over other favorites with Clay aboard.

7-Taboo Kitty has won five in a row and has ability to make it six.

6- Barb In Motion had solid win advancing to 8.5f in last, drilling field by over 5 strides.  Seeks fourth straight in field where favorites look to be king….rather queen since we have fillies.

RACE 4

6-Vegas Mirage has very good speeds but hasn’t mastered the route.  Good thing he is dropping back to sprint and gets excellent chance here.

5-Chasing Down returned to dirt three races back and has been on board each time, most recently hitting 94 speed.  Should put in strong effort.

2-Bitter Triumph has been on board 5 of 6 sprint races.  Last race was way to long, back where he belongs, gets piece of purse.

RACE 5

1- Father McKenzie ignore speed in last as this colt breezed to easy win which was similar to a workout.  Ready to soar.

6-Haack’s Performer is likely to set pace, on board 4 of 6 dirt races indicates this one should be on board someplace, could be top spot.

4-Slash Five has been racing at this track for a while, knocking off career best speed of 95 in last. Off board twice in 6 races on track, once on turf, other was dirt route.  Should be competitive.

RACE 6

3-Emerald Vixen has raced over this track his last 8 starts, winning last three.  Has won 17 of 34 lifetime starts.  Hooks up with Cahill once again, combination looks good.  This one could take some of the lower end stake races.

1-Michelle G. comes off two very nice wins with speeds of 104 and 107.  In top shape and will be tough.

5-Clever Cat Thief has never won a route.  Speeds have been good enough to get on the board in this affair.

RACE 7

11-Perfectly Saintly had nice third in last over this track with 98-speed, best of year.  Switches over to Cahill this time out.

6-Theatre Warrior has been very competitive in claimers in past.  Makes return to racing after long break and may need a race.

7-Wingaway has periodically displayed some late running ability.  Takes drop in distance and could take advantage of this change.

RACE 8

9-Tap Once in peak form.  Front runner can make it two in a row despite poor choice in jockey.

10-Formittable-name fits this one well.  Will be very formidable in this race dropping well back in distance from recent 2-mile effort.

8-Wholly Cannoli- resident runner in Oklahoma has won twice in five tries with a second intermixed.   Cahill gets call and this duo will be closing late.

RACE 9

5-Roaring Tiger is very consistent with speeds in 100-range.  Distance suits this filly well.

4-The Last Drop entered by excellent trainer and gets excellent jockey.  Will challenge for top spot.

7-Discreet Claim is a very feisty lady, stormed off a 107 speed in last race.  Keep an eye on her.

RACE 10

3-Ridge Connection loves to be on the lead, in a spot to wire field.

1-Presumed Guilty will probably stalk top pick with honest chance to snag the win.

RACE 11

7-Hemisphere Dancer moves up to allowance level after pair of wins in Kansas in claimers.  Speed numbers make this guy the one to beat.

5-Earthly Care gets Cahill for third consecutive race at this distance.  Duo has a win and place together.  Good team should fare well once again.

2-Acquired Taste showed some late kick in short sprint in last race, could be enough to get a part.

RACE 12

2-Street Icon lit board at 12-1 over this track last month with big win at 10f for first time going from last to first.  Look for repeat with Cahill again.

4-Abilene Dude is a pace setter that usually holds on to get a top-3 finish, stretches out.

1- Galakcookie makes fourth career start, goes much further but shows late run ability.

RACE 13

11-Empire Lee looked very sharp last time out going 9f with career best speed of 96.  Cuts back to 7f and this closer should transition well.

3-Inccndio has been away from track for a while but has put in competitive speeds.  Should be ok coming back after near 2 month break.

5-Lands O Clair has history of inconsistency but can hit speeds in 90’s.  If he has any form this weekend, could complete a nice triple.

RACE 14

3-Pure Sacrifice failed last time out when hoisted to graded level.  Drops back to lower stake level and ready to collect second stakes win against competitive field.

6-Londone Eye-7 year old mare should be able to eclipse $1 million in earnings with this race.

2-This Town in a field loaded with speed.  Saw 5-race win streak end recently.  Capable of wiring field and starting anew.

RACE 15

5-Corner Guard won with switch to turf and breaking maiden.  Slight edge.

4-Rupert Bear is Dynaformer filly that one first time out on good track.  Bears watching.

2-On The Upgrade hit speed of 71 when moved to turf in last start.  Grass looks to work for her.

RACE 16

7-Basilisk Isles is a cheaply bred colt that has proven that it doesn’t take a fortune to get a stakes runner.    Speeds have been on the rise, topping at 107 in 11f affair last month.  Could win in first stakes try.

4-Cyber Speed showed impressive power rallying from 13 back at half and in last to win by over 2 with 108 speed with first stakes win.  Don’t be surprised if he gets second one.

3-Yankee Flair has been racing well with speeds in 100-range, gets a piece of the pie.
