Spotlight Tip Sheet-Berkshire
Two weeks ago, the Spotlight Tip Sheet focused on the home of the Equinics, in Vermont. This week, we will cover the track across the big pond which was also the site of the Equinic games this year, in Berkshire England.
RACE 1
6. View The World offers a bit of value at 9-2 in open event.
5. Boluckier has decent speeds in 90-range, but having tough 2012 season.
1. Due A Winner goes into sprint for first time, could be a surprise.
RACE 2
2. Master of Play put in late run to finish second in debut at 6.5f. Stretches to mile and I like the extra distance. Breaks maiden.
10. Love From Above popped a speed of 78 and finished second in last going a mile. Winner’s Circle is in the headlights.
5. Widow’s Wail showed improved speed moving into route in last, may get a piece.
RACE 3
3. Innocents T has been racing against better. Drops to claimers and speeds have been better than rest in this short field.
1. Expectations Hi won at this distance two back, breaking maiden. Should be game if kept off lead.
RACE 4
6. Dagnabit has started to show some form with nice late kick in last two. May be best chance to get that elusive second win.
3. Downtown Abbey has scored career best two speeds in last two starts. One to keep eye on.
7. Starlight Joy has been hit-or-miss much of career. If he’s sharp, he’ll get a piece of the action.
RACE 5
9. Tejas Slew is the 2011 Sydney Oaks winner who drops to allowance where she rarely falters. Gets the call.
11. Ravenfield is consistent with tacking up speeds of 100 and up. A threat here.
1. Alice Kramden honeymooner runner has been running well. Looks a bit overmatched but 14-1 could sizzle the trifecta payout.
RACE 6
13. In Treatment narrowly missed with a second and strong speed of 85 in last. Goes mile and extra distance doesn’t hurt.
8. Your Ad Here showed strong late run in debut, don’t discount.
12. Going Under first time starter out of Montjeu with nice Dynaformer x Danzig bloodlines is worth adding to exotic bets.
RACE 7
2. Lago Quest recently switched to dirt and hasn’t finished lower than second in three races. Best speeds in field and has strong edge here.
1. El Gran Chaparral has also shown some favor to dirt recently and completes lackluster exacta.
RACE 8
3. Tete Fatiha gets slim edge in competitive field gaining edge with jockey draw
5. Cloud Nothings was beat at wire in last, looks to make amends but gets 4% winning jockey Moss.
4. Another Barbism has put in decent runs in last three trips, could keep the form going.
RACE 9
5. Ponce is hard to fault hitting board 8 of 9 turf starts and 10 of 12 sprints.
3. Kilaya returned to turf in last after 5 race stint on dirt. Walked away with win by over three strides and career best speed of 97. 6-1 odds very rewarding here.
4. Exeter Hall needs to be watched as this front-runner could run away with it.
RACE 10
4. Oranje Adonis challenged all the way in debut and just could not get in front. Speed of 76 not bad for first time out.
8. Express Pass is first time starter and gets top jockey Harzheim. Oddmakers tagged him as favorite and breeding looks good against this field made up of many first time starters.
2. Nikkithenavigator is sired by Henrythenavigator and is also making premiere in this event. Steep odds that could enhance trifecta.
RACE 11
6. Tete Dahama set career speed mark of 92 in last with first run on dirt with Harzheim aboard. Get shot for photo in winner’s circle.
5. Empire of Sun ran out of room when making late charge. Scales back in distance but should get better shot at it.
1. Tete Ghanimah made up 8 lengths in last two furlongs last start to finish third. Should be driving hard home again.
RACE 12
7. Everdeen will be looking to wire field. On board in all five career starts. Needs to watch out for closers though.
5. Maravilla Haack made nice late rally in last to draw off by two. Capable of repeat.
3. Asperger is always lurking around and shouldn’t be overlooked.
RACE 13
5. Earthquakey made it look too easy when breaking maiden in last. Could find new home when claiming race is over.
8. Rozelle Perugia found allowance level too difficult in last pair of starts, back to claimers where she won by 6 three back at 10f. Should be tough.
3. Seconds has been on board three of four in routes, but nothing on turf. Show spot up for grabs so why not her?
RACE 14
2. Tete Shinga heads a four-horse entry by trainer Sabbath2 in this five horse bid race. Sired by Deep Impact this first time runner gets vote based on sire.
4. Classy Sheilla speeds have been better than others, comes in with two weeks rest.
1. Tete Bayah gets top rider Harzheim. Showed improvement when flipped to turf in last.
RACE 15
11. Wakanda Pi is sired by Dansili with Galileo and Saint Ballado in bloodline, gets top pick for this first time starter.
8. Blusing Rock also goes to post for first time, gets services of top jockey Harzheim.
4. Toe Mas TB could illuminate board with drop back into sprint and has been progressing with speed numbers.
RACE 16
1. Rockappella is only one in field to hit 80’s in speed, slight edge in open field.
2. Prairie Dog looks to be best of rest.
5. War Factor is first time starter who could make a statement.
