It is scorching hot at the SPA, especially for the first 2/3rds of the race card. yesterday they contemplated cancelling the races due to the extreme heat, which would've been cancelled for ust the 2nd time in 141 years. Thankfully, they raced.
Today is expected to be 1 degree hotter.
Yesterday, the speed horse, or a horse that sat right behind him at the quarter pole, won almost every race. Deep closers had no shot. The track was lightning fast. The quarter and half mile times were crazy fast all day.
1ST RACE #5 MYSTIC CITY - fits the exact profile of yesterday's winners. Solid speed horse, who should be on or near the lead with solid Beyer numbers and the best SHEET numbers in the field. #9 DEANAALLEN'SKITTEN has hit the board in all 10 of her races. Tough to think she won't hit the ticket here although she looks like a deep closer.#1 ROCKETTE'S ESCAPADE AND #6 UP IN LIGHTS have competitive sheet numbers to hit the board.

2ND RACE #7 HOW DO I WIN has a sick workout tab including a % furlong 58 4/5ths just a week ago. Have to imagine Pletcher has him ready. #6 WHINSTON - Bet like a champ first out but broke poorly and made a strong rush before tiring in the slop. $625,000 yearling will be the favorite. Tough to see anyone here beating the top 2 favorites. #2 ZELLERS was also a $625,000 yearling adding Lasix but barn isn't good with 2nd timers.

3RD RACE Baffert will be the solid favorite here but his sheet numbers aren't anymore special than several others here. #3 GLICKMAN has the best single race sheet number in the race two back and is my top choice. Willing to ignore his last out from the rail in the mud and expect improvement. #2 WALL DANCE was bet like a champ breaking her maiden at Arlington and showed good speed out of the gate. #1 SADDLERANCH has been bet like a champ both times at Hollywood for Baffert but wouldn't be shocked if he gets beat here at close to even money. Closing style isn't perfect for today's conditions unless there is a speed duel.#4 GLOBAL POWER isn't out of the question. I'm shooting to take at Baffert!

#2 HOUSTON HARBOR - If he runs anything close to his race two back, he will be tough to beat. Legitimate favorite and the choice. #7 JUNGLE RAIN's maiden win at first asking was very impressive but has digressed in three allowance races. Could improve here. #4 FREUDS AND STREAK had some competitive sheet numbers during his 2 year old campaign. Could be used on the ticket. #13 RIZZIS COMET has a chance to hit the board but the post will hurt.

6TH RACE #6 TAHOE LAKE has the best sheet numbers here and has been second three times. Time to break maiden. A must use on the ticket. My second choice is a bit of a shock. #2 PRETTY BOY FREUD - His sheet numbers from Saratoga last year are as good as anyone's numbers in this field. Has caught off-footing in 2 of his L3. Very live longshot. #4 RUBBER DUCK is a bit fo an unknown from Germany but shows a decent sheet number two back and gets a new trainer and first time Lasix. #3 CAPITAL MARKET and #9 CLEAR ATTEMPT have decent sheet numbers and could hit the board.

9TH RACE #4 JIMMY SIMMS has the perfect running style and the best sheet numbers in the race. He's 5 for 12 on the turf and was blocked in the stretch last out at Gulfstream. Excellent workouts recently and this is a craft barn that fires strongly with new horses and off layoffs.Will key him with the #5 and play him on top and bottom of all choices listed here. #5 GATHERING CLOUD consistently fires solid sheet numbers. #6 RODDICKTON is improving. Will spread with top choice using #1 ENTRY, #2 YORKTOWN, #7 JONANNESBURG SMILE AND #8 COLONIALISM
