#4 KATHRYN THE WISE
#5 PLAY UNIFIED
#3 SPECIAL RELATIVITY
#2 PACIFIC GALE
#4 KATHRYN THE WISE takes a class drop (-6), is both the overall speed and pace profile leader, and has excellent early speed abilities to compliment for this 6. furlong sprint. She's undefeated in a three race career, winning each in "POWER RUN FASHION," and gets a return ride from Jockey Irad Ortiz. Ortiz was in her irons for each of those "Circle Trips," and guns for a "Grand Slam Win" this afternoon. The only thing that I don't like about this entry is the fact that she has not raced in some 492 days, which makes this event today a prime candidate for a boxed exotic ticket. The 6-1 shot, #6 PLAY UNIFIED, qualifies as a TrackMaster PLUS "PowerPony," also drops in class (-6), has produced "POWER RUNS" in four of her last five starts, hitting the board in three, winning twice.

#4 THOMAS EDWARD (ML=4/1)
#8 LIL LULU (ML=10/1)
THOMAS EDWARD - My handicapping 'sense' tells me to be ready for this thoroughbred in this clash LIL LULU - Forgive the out of the top three finish on the off track in the last race. Without the slop, has a good shot in today's race. This gelding gets a weight break of -7 pounds from last race. Its possible this could make the difference in this event.
Vulnerable Contenders: #7 HONOR FOUND (ML=5/2), #6 RETIREMENT PLAN C (ML=3/1), #5 DALES SHADOW (ML=8/1),
HONOR FOUND - Hasn't been on the Charles Town oval in the last three weeks. Cause for some concern. You always think this horse has a shot to win, but he comes up short frequently. RETIREMENT PLAN C - This mount showed very liitle last out finishing fourth. Don't see any hint of any betterment today. Don't believe this entrant will make a winning move in today's race. That last speed fig was pedestrian when compared with today's class figure. DALES SHADOW - I cannot play this continual non-winner. Gets the task finished from time to time. Finished first in his most recent performance with a disappointing speed figure. When I look at today's class rating, it would take an improved performance to win after that in this field.
STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Putting our cash on #4 THOMAS EDWARD to win. Have to have odds of at least 8/5 or better though

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks
# 1 BENEVOLENT PRINCE 4/1
# 9 MARYLAND PRIDE 7/2
# 12 HYPERLAPSE (IRE) 20/1
BENEVOLENT PRINCE looks to be a formidable contender. Should compete solidly in the early pace battle which bodes well with this group of horses. With a very good 87 speed figure last time out, will definitely be a factor in this competition. With a reliable 87 average Equibase Speed Figure at the distance, seems well suited for today's race. MARYLAND PRIDE - Has been running soundly and has among the most respectable speed in the race for today's distance. Looks very good to be on the front end at the first call. HYPERLAPSE (IRE) - The Lasix change (on Lasix) may spark a turnaround for this gelding. The average class figure of 80 makes this horse difficult to beat.

#7 JERSEY RICH (ML=8/1)
#5 PLUS PERFECT (ML=6/1)
#4 ASK ME I MIGHT (ML=3/1)
JERSEY RICH - I like when a thoroughbred has dropped in class at least 5 class ratings pts like this one did last out and then runs against a similar field right back. Popovich must've found the right class level. It looks like Panaijo had to know this filly on September 22nd when riding her for the first time. Back on board again today. Look for this filly to show much better right here. Last race at Meadowlands finishing sixth on the soft turf is no sign of her true talent. PLUS PERFECT - You always have to be on the watch for money making jock/trainer duos; we have it right here. Ran a lackluster race at Penn National in the last race. Racing on a fast track puts this mare at the top of my contenders list. ASK ME I MIGHT - A mare like this one, almost always in the money, usually makes an excellent trifecta key horse. This thoroughbred coming off a good effort in the last month is a strong challenger in my opinion.
Vulnerable Contenders: #2 PINK PRINCESS (ML=3/2), #3 DANCIN DEBBIE (ML=5/1), #6 WOLFIE (ML=8/1),
PINK PRINCESS - Has tasted defeat as the chalk the last two times. A repeat is probably in store. DANCIN DEBBIE - Really don't think the most recent speed figure was obtained legitimately. The off conditions may have lead to such a high rating.
STRAIGHT WAGERS:
#7 JERSEY RICH is the play if we get odds of 4/1 or better

The Walker Group Picks
# 11 TROPHY DOLL (IRE) 5/2
# 10 LIP SYNC 8/1
# 8 MUSIC MAKER 4/1
TROPHY DOLL (IRE) is my choice. The class rating of today's race is much lower than her last race. She has respectable class ratings, averaging 89, and has to be considered here. With a strong jockey who has won at a very good 25 percent rate over the last 30 days. This has to be one of the top selections. LIP SYNC - Trainers don't bring racers back this soon just for exercise. Stabile and Dominguez have won 16 percent of their races giving this racer a strong chance. MUSIC MAKER - Formidable average Equibase speed figs in dirt sprint races make this equine a solid contender. Will most likely be one of the front-runners of the group going into the halfway point of the competition.
