*** RACE SIX ANALYSIS *** by The Wizard on Saturday, February 21, 2009

(# 9) SILVER STORM DAY After losing twice as the favorite he got his maiden win last time. The fractions were honest and the final time faster than par. Showed much improved late energy in that win and has the preferred stalking style. Mildly preferred in a tough race. Switches to Hernandez as Albarado opts to stay with Theodore Ways. (#12) THEODORE WAYS 5yo hit the board in his first 10 starts while earning consistently good figures. He finally got the elusive maiden win when returning from a 5-month layoff last time. Former rider Mark Guidry has won with 2 of his 6 starters here. Dangerous right back with Albarado returning. (# 6) SECRET BRUSH Beat Delta Downs maidens after being off the track for more than a year. Found $20,000 claimers to be way too tough in his first start with winners. He dueled for command early but stopped abruptly in the lane. This significant class drop makes him a top contender. (# 5) LOUISIANA DUDE Beat maidens easily when dropped to the basement on New Year's Day. He appeared well placed in his first with winners but tired after stalking the pace for a half. That was against a relatively tough field, so he could go better here. Reunited with Torres who won on him.
