ANALYSIS RACE EIGHT by The Wizard on Saturday, September 26, 2009

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

RACE 8

1 DREAMINOFJOSEPHINE
Although the race came off the grass here last out this filly still turned in her best effort, finishing a game second in her first start since moving to the Canani barn. Sharp work since and a major player today with Baird back.

5 SPUNKY MONKEY
Forest Danger filly debuts sprinting on the turf for trainer Michael Stidham who hits over 20% with first time starters. Has shown plenty of ability in the morning and merits respect with Castanon riding.

7 BESITOS
2yo Greatness filly makes her career debut today for trainer Raja Malek and was also bred by her owners Edward, Krista and Amy Seltzer. Filly makes her first trip to the post sprinting on the turf and, although the barn has had a limited amount of first time starters this year, they are at their best with horses running on the grass. This filly has the breeding to excel at the 5F distance on the grass and the barn has prepared her well with a steady work tab in which she has also shown ability. Graham aboard is only a positive sign that she is well meant.
