Handicapper’s Journal – Doug McPherson Saturday, November 21st 2020 Race 1 #4 Gigantic Breeze #2 Avie’s Mesa #6 Wile E Peyote #1 Taos (FR) #4 GIGANTIC BREEZE was able to skim the rail for a win at this level in his season opener back in August, but was flat when returning the following month in a second level allowance. Veteran is lightly raced this season and should appreciate the return to the $40,000 level. #2 AVIE’S MESA raced wide and was very flat on the inner turf last month. He was claimed that day and gets back to the synthetic, where he has run his best races this season. #6 WILE E PEYOTE lacked a path in early stretch but was able to squeeze between foes nearing the furlong pole when finishing fourth in a turf sprint 16 days ago. His synthetic record is very solid. #1 TAOS (FR) had an outside stalking trip and finished evenly when going 11 furlongs on turf in New York last time. A Stake-winner against three-year olds in France last year, he is somewhat of a question as he tries the synthetic for the first time. Race 2 #4 Crawl From the Bar #7 Abbaa #2 Dot’s Vision #10 Call Me Wally #4 CRAWL FROM THE BAR was entered in a tough first level allowance on Sunday when the races were cancelled and has quickly been taken off of that track. He was an easy winner in his last start at this level. #7 ABBAA set the pace but was picked up by a nose by Bel Bimbo when last competing on October 16. He does not need the lead to be successful. #2 DOT’S VISION exits an easy win over a yielding Fort Erie turf. He has several competitive Woodbine races on his form and will probably be a big price. #10 CALL ME WALLY was second best behind the speedy Conquistador 13 days ago. He will be hoping for pace to chase. Race 3 #1 Curlin’s Voyage #2 Merveilleux #3 Afleet Katherine #5 Avie’s Samurai #1 CURLIN’S VOYAGE didn’t break great then had traffic on the far turn when finishing third behind Merveilleux in the Wonder Where. Woodbine Oaks-winner could get back to the winner’s circle with a clean run. #2 MERVEILLEUX was plagued with bad racing luck this season but finally got a perfect trip and won easily in the Wonder Where. She is an obvious contender to double up. #3 AFLEET KATHERINE was disappointing in the Wonder Where. She has run second in her two synthetic races, the Woodine Oaks and the Bison City. #5 AVIE’S SAMURAI gets around two turns for the first time this season. She raced well in her two turn races as a two- year old. Race 4 #1 I Wonder - Best Bet #7 Shedat #13 Bayou Belle #8 Eleanor Powell #1 I WONDER had a very wide journey and still ran on well when finishing fifth on the inner turf last time. Her success has come on the synthetic and she draws well. #7 SHEDAT tries synthetic for the first time since her debut in June, a sprint where she had a wide trip. Speed type was narrowly in front of I Wonder last time. #13 BAYOU BELLE exits a runner-up finish in the same inner turf race that I Wonder and Shedat exit. The wide draw might not do her any favours this time. #8 ELEANOR POWELL broke her maiden for this price nine days ago and now has to tackle tougher. Race 5 #3 Northern Diamond #10 Lorena #6 Gospel Hill #8 Devine Dancing #3 NORTHERN DIAMOND exits a decent third place finish when dropping in for this price on October 29. Of the ones who have started she looks the best. #10 LORENA is by 12% two year old debut sire Souper Speedy and is the second foal to race out of an unraced mare. She had two gate workouts where she went evenly with an unraced stablemate. #6 GOSPEL HILL ran a big third at huge odds in her debut but has disappointed in two tries since. Her last start was not too bad and she should appreciate getting back to the OS/$40,000 level. #8 DEVINE DANCING dueled on the lead and emptied out while racing wide last time. Blinkers are added for her third attempt. Race 6 #13 Big Time Louie #6 One More Drift #7 Lyrical Note #3 Hesathriller #13 BIG TIME LOUIE draws a tougher post than he did when this race was originally carded. Two-for-two in Vancouver this summer, he should be fresh enough; we’ll see how he handles the synthetic. #6 ONE MORE DRIFT added blinkers and was able to win at this condition on October 31; he has a good shot to double up. #7 LYRICAL NOTE had a wide journey when finishing sixth in the race won by One More Drift. A rebound would not be a big surprise. #3 HESATHRILLER was third in the same race that One More Drift and Lyrical Note exit; he could be speed threat here.

Race 7 #1 Bewtixting #4 Gelato Amore #9 Take It Easy #7 Big Mistake #1 BETWIXTING was a well-beaten fifth in a race won by the extremely impressive Golden Ami last week. She has performed very well in these shorter sprints and catches an easier field this time. #4 GELATO AMORE had to hesitate a bit on the turn but had some finishing interest when finishing sixth on the inner turf last time. She has had a very solid season and may be a good price today. #9 TAKE IT EASY kicked off her season with two wins against good company in a pair of starter optional claimers. If she is good to go for her first start in four months she is a big contender. #7 BIG MISTAKE has earned all three of her wins on the Tapeta and now gets on this surface for the first time this week. She was fourth behind Miss Savvy two weeks ago.

Race 8 #1 Field Pass #2 Belichick #7 Dune of Pilat (FR) #3 Mnemba Island #1 FIELD PASS raced three-wide throughout when finishing third in the Twilight Derby at Santa Anita last time. He proved he can handle synthetic when winning at Turfway this spring and should be able to save some ground. #2 BELICHICK had no shortage of pace to close into but was impressive nonetheless in his Breeders’ Stakes win last month. The ceiling could be high on this lightly-raced colt. #7 DUNE OF PILAT (FR) had a wide trip in his last start at Keeneland and still managed to get into contention in midstretch but evened out as another foe herded him outwards. He had synthetic success across the pond and may be overlooked in his second North American start. #3 MNEMBA ISLAND tries Stakes company for the first time after winning an off-turf first level allowance on October 4. He is four-for-four around two turns on this surface.

Race 9 #4 Silent Poet #7 Pink Lloyd #2 Ride a Comet #5 Dixie’s Gamble #4 SILENT POET gets on Tapeta for the first time since 2018 and is clearly an improved horse since then. He has won four of five starts this season including two Grade 2s; beating Pink Lloyd is no easy ask but it’s not out of the question. #7 PINK LLOYD needs little introduction; champion sprinter is looking to extend his 2020 undefeated streak to five while defending his title in this race. #2 RIDE A COMET returned from a two-year layoff with a very impressive win against second level allowance company. A multiple-Stakes winner as a three-year old, he may be the strongest finisher if a pace duel forms up from. #5 DIXIE’S GAMBLE made his delayed 2020 debut in the Overskate around two turns on the

inner turf. He should prefer a conventional sprint and could earn a lesser share.

Race 10 #1 Souper Escape #5 Amalfi Coast #6 Jakarta #2 Boardroom #1 SOUPER ESCAPE was never beating Amalfi Coast in the Sweet Briar Too but was not helped by her four-wide trip on that night. She needs to run a better race but should be able to save some ground this time. #5 AMALFI COAST stalked a pace duel while saving ground and dashed clear up the rail to win the Sweet Briar Too. The defending champion of this race obviously has a shot; how good a price she will be will depend on how hard the public bets Jakarta. #6 JAKARTA makes her synthetic debut after a good third place finish behind Got Stormy in the Franklin County at Keeneland. This past-claimer in an interesting contender but these connections and that Got Stormy reference could attract a bit too much wagering action. #2 BOARDROOM raced wide and prevailed when winning the Duchess on October 3. Her maiden win aside, this will be her first try against the older mares.

Race 11 #2 Lookin’ Fly #10 Final Strike #6 Red Astaire #3 Candy’s Dream #13 Sea Scout #2 LOOKIN’ FLY makes his first start in two months off of a private purchase. He has shown some hints of run here and there; the blinkers come off. #10 FINAL STRIKE has yet to hit the top three in his 10 attempts but has run plenty of good races and has consistently good speed figures for this level. He will race as a gelding for the first time. #6 RED ASTAIRE was puzzlingly flat two starts ago but ran a better race last time when adding blinkers. He has knocked on the door a fair bit. #3 CANDY’S DREAM is a filly tackling boys here. She drops in from $25,000 to $10,000; if she runs anywhere close to she did at the start of this meet she should win. #13 SEA SCOUT ran a good third in a very soft OS/$40,000 on the inner turf three back. He should appreciate the drop in value.
