Spot Plays for 7/31/2009

River Downs

Race 12: # 3 Silver Talk Rib drops in class for this run and should turn things around today. He may have been in over his head last out and the distance was a bit much for him. That race may be key as the winner has come back to win since then. He is much better against Buckeye-breds and six furlongs is right up his alley. Otto Thorwarth was the last jock to win aboard Silver Talk Rib and should guide him home first again today.

Saratoga

Race 6: # 11 Mine All Mine drops from stakes competition for this run and should move forward today. This is her third start off a layoff plus she had a reason to regress in that last outing. She owns a win over this oval which most runners in this spot can't say. Wesley Ward is solid with young horses and should have Mine All Mine ready for today's run.

Race 8: # 3 Keertana rides a three race win streak into this contest and should show up big today. Her last two races have been very good over two totally different grass courses. Since her last win she has an okay workout over the training turf which shows she is going good. She comes from a very underrated barn and should be ready to roll today.

Arlington Park

Race 5: # 3 Rahystrada drops in class for this run and seems to fit. He faced stakes company last out and might have been a little outclassed. He drops to claiming company today which he fits much better and gets a jock switch to Inez Karlsson who knows her way around the Arlington turf course. Look for a winning run from Rahystrada today.
