Hannon being aggressive running Star Style in the 1000. What do you think TW?

R1-

#4- Kalpana (even) couldn't have been more impressive on turf debut over C&D two weeks ago, winning by ten. Using a few longer priced AW winners underneath to hopefully improve the price in exactas.

EX- 4/2,5,8

Definitely pitching her into the deep end, but he doesn't tilt at windmills. Not familiar with the owner, if it's their call or not. This seems a better than avg group on paper, probably overly ambitious with just the one start. Maybe he's making a 'pace' play having seen how favorable early position has been over the course.

This race is like a delicious buffet where every time you think you have enough good stuff on your plate, you get to the next station and say "oh, gonna need a bigger boat!" Still sorting through my top seven.

Thanks TW. This race is a great puzzle.
Used 2,6 in first. Gosden helps me forget yesterday.

R3-

Liking #5- Kihavah (13-1) at the price, given the weight he's getting. Progressive in handicaps last season, will use as an exacta key.

EXKEY- 5/1,9,10

Pretty sure that if I had boxed all my underneath horses separately over the last year, I'd be way ahead  .

Keep firing away. 1000Guineas looks wide open.

1000 Guineas-

#5- Fallen Angel (9-2) was very progressive last year, wants good ground, Burke says she's his best ever and is very confident. Using Ramatuelle (6-1) as well on top of exactas, only ever finished behind Vandeek and Beauvatier, good enough for me. Heart is backing #6- Porta Fortuna (11-1) for Steve Weston.

Big WIN- 5  EX- 5,8/1,5,6,8,11,12

Never gave the winner much of a look. Elmalka (37-1) is a half-sister to Benbatl, FWIW. 

I was hollering for Porta Fortuna, she just couldn't hang on at the wire. Neighbors have cops on speed dial, probably already on the way, as I yelled repeatedly "Who the f*** is Elmalka?!"  .
