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

(# 2) MUFFIN Smart Strike filly is starting to look like a trial maiden with 6 straight close-up finishes. She was beaten at 2-5 last time but the time was fast and the filly who beat her came back to win an allowance. She handled the lawn well in her only opportunity. The blinkers that go on today could be the key. She has a sizeable figure edge here and deserves one more chance. (# 10) CARELESS RAPTURE Entrepreneur filly has finished 2nd in all 3 starts, two sprints and a route. It was surprising to see her cut back to 5 1/2F last time after she finished strongly going a mile. Not sure what Herbert is doing with her but she is quite capable at any distance. Enters off a strong 5F drill on Feb. 13. (# 8) TOKEN DIVA Stalked the pace and held on well for 3rd, just behind Careless Rapture, in a turf sprint. Finished close in both sprints, so she should have the foundation that she needs to stretch out. Her grandsires are the great Mr. Prospector and turf route influence Rahy. (# 6) MY STORMY ANGEL Filly was the highest priced offspring of Storm Day to sell at auction. She finished an even 3rd in her debut on the grass then ran into a freak out winner on the main track last time. Think she will show further improvement in her 3rd start. Will try Graham this time. (# 4) GYPSY CAMP Gets a trainer change to Hodges who is good with new acquisitions.Makes 1st start on grass hipping in from New York. Has some turf pedigree on her dam side. (# 7) MARSH ANGEL ran a good 3rd in turf debut as a 1st time starter at the FG. Showed good speed that day but set a very slow pace. Will have to run faster early today which could be her undoing. (# 9) DESTINY BOUND was hurt by a wide trip and a slow pace in last. Good 3rd in debut sprinting over soft turf. Must overcome a tough outside post and probably another wide trip.
