Spot Plays for 5/9/2009

River Downs

Race 10: # 6 Lil E's Express is rounding into form and should pop at a price today. He just missed last out in the mud against open claimers and could improve picking up a condition today. With all the rain in the area as of late the track should be off and Lil E's Express can really handle off going. He has stepped his game up since Cesar Camaque took the reigns and surely he can get him home first today.

Arlington Park

Race 6: # 2 Cool C Note returns to the Arlington lawn for this effort and should be in good form. He won well against softer at Oaklawn but might have needed that win for confidence. Since then he has put in two sharp workouts over the polytrack and seems to be coming into his own. The Scott Becker barn has been hot as of late and with Rene Douglas in saddle look for a big run from Cool C Note today.

Race 10: # 2 Telling really improved returning to grass last out and could be ready for this spot today. He seems to like this turf course and hopefully is not over the top after his last. When he is in good form look out and this could be the start of a run for Telling

Belmont Park

Race 9: # 3 Charitable Man returns to conventional dirt and that should be the key the victory today. He didn't run a jump over the poly at Keeneland plus he needed that race with it being his first in six months. He is a graded stakes winner over this oval and surely can regain his winning form. With Alan Garcia in the saddle look for Charitable Man to return to his winning ways
