*** RACE THREE ANALYSIS *** by The Wizard on Saturday, February 28, 2009

(# 4) DONNASWALKINDREAM Stalked a slow pace, made a 3-wide move to the lead and drew clear a furlong out. He couldn't hold the lead but still managed to finish a clear 2nd. On an improving pattern for Hahn and could be set for his best in his 3rd start off the 3 1/2 month layoff. Graham stays with him. (# 3) DAKOTA FLAME Obscurely bred 5yo has been finishing steadily in his sprints and should go well around two turns. He has the energy distribution pattern of a middle distance runner. He drops from maiden special company, a class drop that is not as significant among state-breds. It is encouraging to see Albarado take the mount. (# 5) DODABOOM Appeared well placed dropping imto maiden claiming company last time but showed little. He has more ability than that and could show it today as the blinkers he has worn for his last 3 starts come off. Has speed to be in contention all the way. Contender in a very soft field.
