DMR 4 (Fleet Treat, CA-bred, 7f)
Primary – #5 BIG SWEEP, #2 Smiling Shirlee
Secondary – #1 Been Studying Her, #3 Warren’s Showtime, #4 Loud Loud Music
Wagers: #5 to win, Exacta 5-2

Comments: #5 Big Sweep (9-5) turns back and drew perfectly. She is 2-for-2 sprinting and should make her presence felt throughout. Early-pressing speed from the outside post in a compact field at seven panels. Sure sounds like a recipe for success. #2 Smiling Shirlee (2-1) is a competent sprinter and router on dirt. She finished 1-2 in her last three starts. She turned back and scored May 16, and stretched back out and finished 2nd June 21. Bonde is sharp route/sprint and Smith strings along. #1 Been Studying Her (3-1) is a very solid sprinter, and she won the Generous Portion at DMR last summer. #3 Warren’s Showtime (7-2) is clearly best over a route of ground. #4 Loud Loud Music (10-1) improved her numbers in all three starts at shorter distances vs. lesser company.
