RACE 4
9 HEYWOODS** 8-5 PS
7 GOLDEN HALL 5-2
1 GOLD STRIKE BEGINS 3-1
6 FIRST RATE 7-2
HEYWOODS lacked a rally going a mile on turf in last but two
back he showed improved speed in his first start on
Polytrack; takes key drop making first start for a tag,
returns to best surface, adds blinkers, picks up leading
rider and has trained sharp for this...GOLDEN HALL ran well
both starts last year and returns for good barn with a top
rider, dangerous...GOLD STRIKE BEGINS ran a strong race
sprinting two back then middle-moved and faltered in a
route; takes a bit of a suspicious drop for a horse with
only 3 lifetime starts but could be tough making first start
for a tag and should be closing...FIRST RATE has shown
steady improvement and ran 2nd against similar in last, threat.
