- Look Away Mb Stables Lopez P
Recently picked up a win at MNR against Allowance company where he won as the 2 to 1 favorite with D Parker aboard. Prior to that his last win came in November at AQU against Optional Claimers $35.000 Non Winners of 2 races where he won at this distance going away by three lengths. Definitely doesn’t mind the distance, but I think this will prove a big step up for this four year old gelding. His SRF number 91.5.
- Condottieri Cream Boulevard Gallardo A A
Won over this distance on a soft going at GP back in March against $35.000 Claimers where Joe Bravo was aboard for the one length victory. Since then he has gone on to race against Grade III company on the dirt course and finished last. Most recently he was the 2 to 1 favorite in a 7 furlong $1.600 Non Winners of 3 races Lifetime at SUD and couldn’t come up with the win. That is very hard for me to swallow, that he came up short by 7 lengths. I will pass, and who knows maybe this four year old will make me eat my words. His SRF number is 87.

Fresh off the claim for $47.500 where he won a $50.000 Claimer at WO over the yielding sod going 6.5 furlongs earlier in the month, just about 14 days ago. Back with only 14 days rest, he is going to strike again. Not sure, I am on board with the less than minimal rest, but hey it can happen! His SRF number is 94.
- Sinai Desert Blushing Meadows Bravo J
Finished second last time out at SA in March in an Open $60.000 Allowance where he stalked the pace at the 0.95 to 1 favorite, and was unable to get the job done to lose by three lengths. Prior to that he raced at TAM in the TAM Stakes Grade III where he finished fourth as the even money favorite. Last two times the favorite, and both times he flopped. Betting public if he is the favorite skip him, if he isn’t then you might have someone worth looking at again. His SRF number is 96.
- Dogs Inforwarrior Grimley Hernandez C J
Has not won a race since last November at AQU going 1 1/16 mile on the sod in an Open Allowance $61.000 where he won by a length. In his defense he has been racing against much tougher company in the Grade I and Grade II circuit. With him dropping down in class by a lot, I expect him to do very well here tomorrow. His highest SRF speed figure is 101. Not bad for a horse who hasn’t been in the winners circle since November. His SRF number is 95.
- Gila Bend Barcelona Farms Hernandez B J Jr
Just won the San Juan Capistrano Stakes Grade III going today’s distance over a soft going at SA in April. In that race he was able to come from off the pace to make a run for it in the final furlongs to get up to win by three lengths at odds over 42 to 1. That marked his second consecutive win, and he drops 3 pounds from his last mount. I expect a great performance out of him. His SRF number is 90.
- G Honkus Brown Spankys Barn Graham J
Has two consecutive wins. His last win came at TUP going 1 3/8 mile on the firm sod, where he won by two lengths in a $35.000 Handicap. Prior to that he won a Starter Allowance at PRX going today’s distance by a nose. Has a very decent SRF number of 93.5 and I expect a great performance out of him.
Iwin picks: 6/7/5
The Tout picks: 4/5/3
Until next time this is Iwin signing off!
