ANALYSIS RACE EIGHT by The Wizard on Saturday, September 19, 2009

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

RACE 8

3 UPSELL
Colt has shown huge improvement on the synthetic surface here this year, scoring back to back wins before fading to 4th after setting a fast pace going 7F. That was his first start off the claim by Bennett. Stretches back out in distance today and if Karlsson can get him to settle could prove tough.

4 ZION
3yo colt comes off the turf stretching back out to two turns in his second start off the break for trainer Steve Asmussen. Can find the winner's circle today facing the softest group of his 10 race career.

5 STAR PLAYER
4yo failed to prove a factor on the turf here last out making his first start since moving to the barn of Wayne Catalano. Colt ran some big races against quality company for his previous barn and can certainly rebound today.
