SATURDAY AT DEL MAR

ZAZU BY DAVID MORANT

RACE 1

A sprint for 50 G's for three year olds is the week-end opener. Special Kid beat Red Sharp Humor in there maiden race. A short field of under-achievers. Let's take the horse coming out of the Oceanside Stakes race that press the pace and nows cut back in distance.

           1. Macho Dorado
           2. Hurricane Lake


RACE 2

Not much speed or pace in this low rent sprint on the poly-track. You might see all the horses hitting the wire at the same time. We will probadly see Gotham Spirit and Meadow Lake Queen on the lead with Forty Dates stalking right behind. Rosario will have Warren's Swap Fox striking the front when they turn home. Hidden Romance looked good on the last day of Hollywood beating a modest field. Two in a row for Knapp.

         1. Forty Dates
         2. Warren's Swamp Fox
         3. Meadow Lake Queen


RACE 3

Kuro a horse I picked coming back off a lay-off ran short. I expect stretching out to a mile he just might be tighter this time around. Bolinas has been training excellent for his come-backer. He warrants respect in this spot. I picked Winsome Charm in his last race.... I like three here:

           1.  Winsome Charm
           2.  Kuro
           3.  Bolinas
          


RACE 4


Laima a daughter of Lion Heart looks spotted for action as a first time starter.

           1. Laima
           2. Khendum
           3. Lady Liam

RACE 5

He's A Dance Star is fast, fit and in form. This five furlong sprint race on turf is wide open. Quick Enough last year would have smoked this field. Master Chief out of Danzig warrants respect as he can close fast. Caught A Flyer might just be the speed of the speed..... He looked good Friday night winning a Hollywood Park.

The pace looks fast with a number of speed types which I think Quick Enough might wait then put his good turn of foot down the lane.

          1. Quick Enough
          2. He's A Dance Star
          3. Caught A Flyer



RACE 6



Norma's Passion trained by Jeff Bonde hires Rosario to ride this live first time starter. Bucfiftytwo a first time starter has a win early pedigree with P-Val taking the mount. He looks like a runner. Tenacious Thomas a horse with solid pedigree gets Mike Smith to ride. He might come out of the gates running.

             1. Norma's Passion
             2. Bucfiftytwo
             3. Tenacious Thomas




RACE 7

Sanquine a horse on my watch list added blinkers.....then ran two bad races. Today the equipment change I expect will help. A good value bet at 12 to 1 on the morning line. Cayambe is the horse to beat here. A short price I expect. Willy Conker had a troubled trip last race. He is one of the ones........Roaring Times should love the added distance. A Forty Nine horse on the improve who was bet down to four to one in his last start.

           1. Cayambe
           2. Sanquine
           


RACE 8

The pace looks to have Freedom Star on the front-end with Ellifitz right behind her. If Freedom Star gets a nice easy relaxing lead she might be tough to collar. Switch and Zazu are the horses to fear turning for home.

          1. Switch
          2. Zazu
          3. Freedom Star



RACE 9

Fleet Continental a horse on my watch list had a troubled start coming back off a lay-off. I expect much better today at double digit odds. The race lacks speed and I hope the bug boy will send him to the front.....hoping he hangs on~~``

          1. Fleet Continental



RACE 10


A modest group of maidens in the low rent area.... sprinting on the poly-track. Let's end with a bomb....Please check him out during warm up.... If he looks relax..... place a small across the board bet on him. Scratch!

 Warren's Tiger and Clocker Moment should love the added distance.........both need to catch Link Saucanes....and Awesome Brandy.

           1. Warren's Tiger
           2. Clocker Moment
           3. Link Saucanes
