Analysis by Grey Stable's Tony Lasinksi

For Saturday, January 28, 2006

Race One: $30,000 CL
(7) PERFECT PANDEROSA watch list horse got parked past the half, faced pressure from Up Front Ohio, didn’t tire badly (1) LUCKY JO Dube’s choice may look to brush early (3) CAMSURGE trouble if he can get the trip (8) JACCKA SEELSTER N makes 1st start for Oakes/Miller which was a big angle last year

Race Two: nw $12,500
(4) RJ’S WILD CARD no shot last at Freehold but won here when last in this class, slight vote in relatively unimpressive bunch with shaky morning line favorite (3) CUNNING LIAR returns to Silva via purchase, used hard and faded 3 weeks ago (9) THEMISTOKLES drops and should be factor with these but has shown little since his return (7) UP FRONT OHIO steps up after big parked mile

Race Three: $75,000-125,000 CLHC
(7) ART MAKER 1st time Johnson put in another big effort off bad cover closing in 26.2 and Pierce’s choice over the #8 (8) CAM’S PRIMETIME beaten fave closed well again 3 wide behind Art Maker but will have to get involved earlier (5) TIBERON watch list horse parked mile in fast last half, didn’t fade that badly (4) PICK A TRAIL sharp speed effort dueling with Tiberon, may elect off the pace effort tonight

Race Four: $30,000 CL
(5) CORIS GOLD been sharp at the Meadows, last coming home in 54.2 with little chance off slow half (6) BACK OFF went inside the pylons when jammed, Miller may wish to leave (9) CRAZY CHARACTER gets Gingras’ vote over 2 others may get overbet since he has been aided by the closing bias (10) BUTTLER impressive in last 2 at Freehold, threat if Cat can get him involved early in race with little early speed

Race Five: PRESIDENTIAL – FINAL FFA (D)
(5) CASIMIR CAMOTION flashed sharp 26.4 close, 4th over in first start for Saunders but don’t know what value he will offer since many our jumping back on the bandwagon (2) MYPANMAR was one of our watch list horses last week and delivered in sharp multi-move effort, should be in position to leave and sit the trip (3) SHU HANOVER tried the overland route and kicked in sharply in 26.4 3rd over but expect he will be headed to the front tonight even if Rucker says different

Race Six: nw $17,500
(5) DAYLON TROOPER will hope to carry his recent Freehold form to the BigM and drops from when last seen here (6) PACIFIC PLAYBOY class drop comes at the right time, has shown improvement in last 2 off claim (3) ITHINKI’MSOMEBODY kept tight with sharp qualifer
(7) ANDREOLI HANOVER Sears’ choice came home sharply in 26.3 off dull cover in last Complex leg

Race Seven: COMPLEX – FINAL (5YO & Under) (D) … shapes up as good betting race
(8) FATE’S PLACE we still think he is the best after impressive uncovered win in Leg 1 (1) ENTRY- PANDARIN DUCK has been a different horse in this series, has shown dramatic improvement and can upset at decent price, SAND SAX showed some improvement in last coming home in 26.4 (5) TRUE FORCE wasn’t going to get used hard from post #10 in last Leg, previous just got up off good trip, may get overbet (2) SEEYOUINMYDREAMS should be tough with his early foot from the rail, held on setting fast clip but was a good night for speed

Race Eight: nw $12,500
(3) SLEEP EASY tired going uncovered into the stiff wind, major threat with better journey
(1) RODEO PUNCH rather unimpressive group so we will go with a horse from a sharp barn who drops from ambitious spot (6) GRECO THE GREAT used hard and held gamely in 1st start off ship form California (10) SPANDREL HANOVER showed nothing in 1st start but expect improved effort with Miller

Race Nine: $50,000-60,000 CLHC
(7) ON THE DOUBLE tough trip getting buried, got out and closed well in 26.4 (9) VILLAGE HERO N beaten fave left from post #10, tucked, got buried in tough trip, another shot 1st start for Leonelli (1) LITTLE AMOS hasn’t raced in 3 weeks and off scratch lame but no class drop, mixed signals (8) HENSCHKE A sharp close again 3 wide aided by the closing bias past few weeks

Race Ten: nw $27,500
(8) SEMPRE PRONTO watch list horse steps up after getting parked past the quarter to fast half in good speed effort (7) SPIRIT OF A SHARK swept field in 1st start off layoff and should improve off that effort (6) O NARUTAC PAT closed sharply in 26.1 off good cover trip, should be set up for same (5) LIVE OUT LOUD Mike Lachance drives for his son over a Banca horse, expect improved effort

Race Eleven: $25,000-30,000 CLHC
(8) HOPEFUL IDEAL goes 1st time Ryder but keeps Brennan who is 2 for 2 aboard (5) SOUTHWIND ALDEN 1st start for Bilach and gets Sears after tiring going uncovered into the winds (2) MR ORCHARD ST should improve off sharp close in needed race (4) SAMS CLEVER BOY closed well in good drive by Gingras in Hopeful Ideal’s blowout mile

Race Twelve: $30,000
(2) RAKIN N THE BUCKS easy win off the questionable Silva drop off the claim (5) GV’S CAM TOWNER one to fear off the drop, loomed boldly in last but hung late (3) HONEYBURNER drops off disappointing effort (7) PUTASMILEON looks like the Banca/Brennan combo is temporarily reunited, watch list horse after Lachance got him parked from post #10 in fast half

Race Thirteen: $30,00 CL (4 YO)
(2) MAKO SICA problematic horse was Brennan’s choice of 3, impressive win 2nd start off layoff (7) BIG SWITCH found it hard to make up ground in faster last half
(10) EYES ON KASSA makes 1st start for Johnson off huge effort from post #10, Pierce will have to leave and look for the tuck (8) ARTS MOUSE ships in off impressive line but that was a month ago
