Spot Plays for 6/3/2009

Monmouth Park

Race 6: # 8 Reata's Vixen returns to racing on the Jersey shore and should return to her winning ways. She has been much more competitive over the turf here than in Florida or New York and with the slight layoff she should be fit. She gets the riding services of Carlos Marquez, Jr. who is one of the most underrated turf riders in the country. Look for Reata's Vixen to turn things around today.

Race 8: # 4 Show Place is the only runner in the race with multiple wins over the Monmouth turf course which give her an advantage over this bunch. Her last start was the first since December and she surely needed it. Since that last start she has put in a string of good workouts over the polytrack at Keeneland and should be fit for this run. With Paco Lopez in the irons look for Show Place to win today.

Indiana Downs

Race 3: # 9 Smart Attire drops to the lowest claiming price of his career looking to get home first today. He moves to the turf which could be a positive and he is by one of the hottest sires going right now in Smarty Jones. Since his last start at Oaklawn he has put in a couple of okay workouts at Victory Haven training center and should be fit. With Fernando De La Cruz up look for a winning effort from Smart Attire today.

Race 5: # 8 Antrim County ships to Indy for the first time and should win for fun today. He has been facing much tougher in his past and the trip up here should help him add another win to his resume. He might be better on the grass than on dirt or poly and should run away from this bunch easy. Look for a big run from Antrim County today.
