The ultra-consistent Forest Search BG<\/STRONG> heads a compact field of six for today’s $80,000 Power Orbit Handicap.\u00a0 The 1 1\/2 miles on the main track trip seems to hit this Forestry\u00a0mare right between the eyes as she looks to right the ship off of a 4th place finish going a quarter-mile longer.\u00a0 The drpag<\/EM> trainee shows a stellar record of 20 out of 28 on the board finishes.\u00a0 This versatile mare has an excellent record both sprinting and going long.\u00a0 Today, she will be ultra tough as she figues to sit just off the pace and will pounce as they hit the stretch.<\/P> Perhaps the main challenger to the favorite is 5\/2 second choice Shaky Legs<\/STRONG>, a 7 year old FuPeg mare.\u00a0 This one like to try to shake loose on the lead, and had used that as her M.O. here lately.\u00a0 In fact, she seems to be a bit of a “need the lead to win type”.\u00a0 bigspruce<\/EM> is hoping for no other speed from this field, and that seems highly unlikely.\u00a0 In fact, there are two others in here with that same running style.\u00a0 This one may be simply playing into the hand of the favorite.\u00a0 However, if, by chance, she takes a clear lead….. look out.<\/P> Satin In A Coffin<\/STRONG> comes to the bayou off of a disappointing thrid place try in Kentucky.\u00a0 We have to go all the way back to week 2986 to find\u00a0a win for this Rahy mare from the barn of eddie72<\/EM>.\u00a0 The cutbak in distance may help, and the pace situation could go a long way as well.\u00a0 If she rebound well off the big loss, she may contend for a share. \u00a0However, we’ll need to see some improvement in order for this gal to get her picture taken.<\/P> Learing Indy <\/STRONG>is another speedy type who will be trying to take this one wire to wire.\u00a0 Problem is, at the 12 furlong distance, too much speed in a race is often deadly for everyone who attends the pace.\u00a0 This daughter of Lear Fan, trained by shagadel4<\/EM>, has shown a bit of rating ability in the past.\u00a0 However, this one is simply likely to contribute to a pace that will likely not carry them\u00a0the\u00a0distance today.\u00a0 The fact that this race is her first venture into stakes in a while is yet another negative.\u00a0 Definitely an “iffy” proposition.<\/P> Further complicating the speed situation is Exceller Road<\/STRONG>, a daughter of Magloire.\u00a0 She has shown tremendous speed in her most recent, shorter efforts.\u00a0 Trainer lamepony<\/EM> gives no indications that these tactics will change.\u00a0 She found a clear lead in her last two, but that is not likely to happen today.\u00a0 If her speed is not contained, she will be a sitting duck at the quarter pole, if not sooner.<\/P> The outsider in the field is War Livewithmom<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 This daughter of Awesome Again is a bonafide closer, which may bode well for her chances in this race.\u00a0 At 8\/1 odds, we may have a good betting proposition here if she can sit well off the pace and make a late run into what figures to be a brutal pace for the distance.\u00a0 1aussie<\/EM> sends her into this one off of a well beaten third place effort in which she was too close to the early pace.\u00a0 She cuts back a furlong today, and we will see if the pace scenario makes this gal come out of her shell a bit.<\/P> That’s the short field for today’s feature.\u00a0 It should be interesting to see the tactics used in here.\u00a0 If this one goes like it looks on paper, we will see\u00a0a wild early place setting the race up for a wild late finish.\u00a0 Good luck to all and happy racing!<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Forest Search BG, Shaky Legs duke it out in Power Orbit
