Live with The Wizard: *** RACE SEVEN ANALYSIS ***

NOTE: VERY TRICKY RACE AS 5 OF THE 8 HORSES ENTERED IN THIS GRASS ROUTE HAVE NEVER RACED ON TURF AS WELL AS GOING TWO TURNS.

(# 7) HEAR NO ANGEL Finished 2nd in his debut then won his next three under a variety of conditions. He won a dirt sprint, a dirt route and a turfer at 7 1/2 furlongs. In his 6F win two on Jan. 2 he was 10 lengths behind with a furlong to go. His final 1/8 fraction was an eye-catching :11 3/5. Bridgmohan has handled him quite nicely. (# 8) DABBERS CHIEF Finished 2nd in his debut then won his next three under a variety of conditions. He won a dirt sprint, a dirt route and a turfer at 7 1/2 furlongs. In his 6F win two on Jan. 2 he was 10 lengths behind with a furlong to go. His final 1/8 fraction was an eye-catching :11 3/5. Bridgmohan has handled him quite nicely. (# 6) SMOOTHCIDEUP Made a belated move and was going fastest at the wire when he missed by 3/4 length to Hear No Angel. He looked good blasting LaD maidens on the main track four starts back. Look for Jamie Theriot to keep him in closer touch early. A projected fast pace gives him a chance to kick them down in the drive. (# 1A) SHOCKIN BLOW Made a belated move and was going fastest at the wire when he missed by 3/4 length to Hear No Angel. He looked good blasting LaD maidens on the main track four starts back. Look for Jamie Theriot to keep him in closer touch early. A projected fast pace gives him a chance to kick them down in the drive. (# 1) SILENT PIPE Not bred for the grass but steps up in class off a strong win. Draws the rail which helps, but I do prefer his entry mate.
