Good morning Friends and welcome to the WGW Maiden Spotlight for Friday, May 11th, 2007. I have been concentrating on baseball handicapping the past 6 weeks, so I have not had the opportunity to post here in quite some time. But I am back today and back with a PURPOSE. I have a very STRONG maiden release for you today.
Let’s travel north of the border to Woodbine. Race 9 is a 7 furlong maiden special weight event on the Polytrack. Our featured maiden is the #12 Dynamite Eyes. A very good contact of mine had a push on this filly first time out at Keeneland back on April 7th. Dynamite Eyes is a Dynaformer filly who posted a series of blazing fast works leading up to her debut at Keeneland. As many of you will recall about Keeneland’s Polytrack surface early in the meet, winning on the lead was IMPOSSIBLE. Unfortunately jockey James Graham completely disregarded this fact and sent Dynamite Eyes to the front. She had plenty of company and was caught up in a suicidal pace scenario, eventually fading to finish 10th. Frankly after going as fast as she did for the half mile, I’m surprised she was able to avoid finishing dead last.
Today she gets the services of top Woodbine jock Todd Kabel. She has posted some easy works leading up to today’s race and should be primed for a winning effort. Her morning-line is 7/2 but I expect her to be sent postward closer to 5/2 odds. I will bet WP on her and use her as a single in my multi-race wagers. I will be very surprised if this filly doesn’t graduate today.
Best of luck to all,
Bernmeister
