Oak Tree at Pleasanton for Saturday, June 25

Saturday, June 25

1. Cowboy Way…Always tough, even from rail

Sassy Jazzy…Should break better here

Penelope…Second here last week

2. Khouros…Beaten favorite in last

Sand Lilly…Solid effort in return

Jess Is On Fire…Has raced against better

3. Reasonable Pride…Should be on the lead

King’s to You…Been very consistent

Blow the Whistle…Broke maiden over track

4. Unusually Big…One of my favorite ‘capping angles

Pacific Channel…Barn huge first off a claim

Dually Affirmed…Could get easy lead

5. Coronado Cool…Keeps dropping, getting closer

Ma’moisele Speaker…Ready for debut at home

Water Cat…Loves hitting the board

6. Sheer Dominance…Could sizzle in debut

Kristie’s Heart…Will be right there

Ladette…Nothing but respect for connections

7. Citali…A lot to like here

London Legacy…Popular claimer looks tough

Indian Brut…Tough if fit

8. Southern Freedom…Looks very solid, tough

Eagle Screams…Ran second in this last year

Tamarando…Has run well on dirt

9. Over Achiever…Repeat of last would work well

Kronwall…Another speedster

Play of the Day: In the 7th race I like Citali out of the Bill Morey barn. Juan Hernandez takes the mount on a horse that has just been more consistent than the others here. The horse has two seconds and a win in his last three starts since shipping west from Florida.
