RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks

# 4 WILDCAT BELLE 2/1

# 5 SABRINA BALLERINA 7/2

# 2 SING FOR BEAUTY 4/1

I think WILDCAT BELLE is a very good choice. Is worth taking a close look at and may be a bet - strong speed figures (79 average) at today's distance and surface lately. Carmouche has been scorching the last month, winning at a nifty 21 percent rate. Bettors ought to feel comfortable with this selection given Carmouche's recent returns at the window. SABRINA BALLERINA - Horses who have been prepared to race at this distance and surface by Levine have shown very strong results recently. Looks quite good to be on or close to the lead at the first call. SING FOR BEAUTY - Recorded a quite good speed figure last time out. With a nice Equibase class figure average of 87, has one of the top class advantages in this field. 

Race 4 1:50pm - Maiden Special Weight - 8.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $55,000 Class Rating: 90 

INNER DIRT FOR MAIDENS, THREE YEARS OLD FOALED IN NEW YORK STATE AND APPROVED BY THE NEW YORK STATE-BRED REGISTRY. WEIGHT, 120 LBS.


RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks

# 4 CARTHON 6/1

# 3 CAN YOU DIGGIT 2/1

# 2 SICILIA MIKE 5/2

I've got to go with CARTHON. This colt looks good for this event since Sciacca has a very solid winning percentage with horses going this distance. The Equibase Speed Fig of 77 from his last contest looks quite good in here. I expect a very strong performance from this horse whose conditioner has one of the most competitive ROI percentages with horses running at this distance and surface. CAN YOU DIGGIT - This racer enters today's contest with second time Lasix. With a decent 83 Equibase Speed Figure last time out, will definitely be a factor in this race. SICILIA MIKE - Has been close up at the finish line most every time recently. This pony is at the top in this group in earnings per start at the distance/surface.

#3 ADIOS CHIC (ML=8/1)
#2 SIMMARDSTELLA (ML=6/1)


ADIOS CHIC - Rode this mount on Jan 11th and Sukie is back again in the irons in today's contest. I really like sprinters that make a fast turnaround. SIMMARDSTELLA - This front runner is shortening up today. Should aid her chances of winning. She has the highest earnings per race entered. Check out this one. Last raced at Gulfstream Park carrying 7 lbs more. The lower weight carried in this event should serve her well. 

Race #12 - Post: 5:35pm - Stakes - 9.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $200,000 Class Rating: 108 Sunshine Millions Classic S.

#1 TIGER OF WALES (ML=20/1)
#3 HY RIVERSIDE (ML=5/1)
#4 WE'RE ALL SET (ML=6/1)
#8 AWESOME SLEW (ML=7/5)


TIGER OF WALES - This horse should make a move at the top of the stretch. Great late early speed This one likes to win on different racing tracks. The switch in venue today may be a wake up call. This horse ran out of the money at Camarero Race Track last time around the track on a sloppy track. He should improve today with the benefit of a fast track. HY RIVERSIDE - Has found a great spot this time. WE'RE ALL SET - Saez and Abreu perform well when they unite. Hard to beat a winning pct of 33. Last raced at Gulfstream Park carrying 5 pounds more. The lower weight in today's race should serve him well. AWESOME SLEW - This animal earns a lot of dough per start. Number one in this race.
