Live with The Wizard: *** RACE TEN ANALYSYS ***

ANALYSES OF THESE HORSES ARE PLACED IN POST POSITION ORDER. THESE ARE NOT MY SELECTIONS.

RACE 10

3 BREZING RAIN
This filly was a tactical winner to begin her career on June 20 over today's track. Overcame a lack of racing room to contend, and then slowly pulled her way clear late. She takes the next logical step up the class ladder for her owner/breeder. Has not skipped a beat in the morning since that debut score. Can work out a good inside trip under J. Alvarado.

5 MORE KISSES
Returns to make her first start of the year. Well-spaced races hint at infirmities. She gave nobody a chance when last seen under silks on Dec. 7 at Turfway Park. Brushed aside early pace pressure and then won as her rider pleased. Has been burning up the imitation dirt at Keeneland in the morning. Well spotted meeting a vulnerable field off-the-shelf. Presence of Kent D. in the saddle speaks volumes.

7 EXCELENTE
Returns to an all-weather track, which she actually might prefer. Lone lifetime win came in her second start, her first over a synthetic course last year. She has failed to win since that effort. Could wake-up in a big way with a class drop and changes in surface and venue.

8 ADDED DELIGHT
Has not been disgraced in all three starts vs. winners over the Arlington Park Polytrack surface. She settled late on July 11 at seven furlongs after departing from a tough outside post. Might actually benefit from today's shorter distance and a bit better post as well.

9 IVORY EMPRESS
Improving filly overcame traffic problems to beat Churchill maidens in fast time. She had a next-out winner behind her in 2nd and earned a figure good enough to contend for the win in this entry-level allowance. Blueblood daughter of Seeking The Gold has a bright future for Ian Wilkes.
