ANALYSIS RACESIX by The Wizard on Saturday, September 19, 2009

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

RACE 6

3 PARADE ROUTE
Lightly raced 6yo Giant's Causeway gelding won his career debut at Sunland Park last spring and, although didn't hit the board in next three, was claimed out of his last start of 2008 by trainer McLean Robertson. Was idle till July for new barn but posted back to back wins on his return followed by a game second before settling for a 4th place finish last out as the favorite. His best effort for his new barn came in his only try on the turf in late July at Canterbury which suggests he is more then likely to handle the synthetic surface in his local debut today. Barn has spotted him well dropping in for a nickel at a distance that suits him perfectly. Sterling has the call and expecting this gelding to score at a price in only his 9th career start.

4 CURE
Honest 5yo has hit the board in 8 of 9 with 3 wins this year including game score here last out dropping to today's tag. He was claimed by Larry Rivelli who hits over 20% with haltered horses and is the main threat today with Graham back.

9 SHAKESPEREAN STORY
8yo has won 11 of his 38 main track starts while overcoming many problems. He beat softer conditioned claimers in his first start off the Chris Dorris claim then finished a close 4th against several of these last out.
