Frey’s Vising Is the One to Beat in the Fifth

In his two victories for trainer Dean Frey, Vising has left little doubt.

In his second start, the 4-year-old Arabian beat maidens by 11 lengths, then, after an ill-fated try in a stakes, the son of Virgule Al Maury crushed an allowance field by 13 lengths.

Owned by Darley Stud Management, Vising will try to dominate again tonight when he takes on six rivals in the fifth race, a $4,700 allowance at six furlongs.

Adolfo Rodriguez was aboard for Vising’s two victories, but Joy Scott has the mount tonight and they will break from Post 7. The Florida-bred could be a single for pick six players.

In the ninth race, Lodi Lou, who dominated $16,000 maidens when dropped in for a tag for the first time on May 12, will try for a repeat against Enjoy The Moment, Fishers Effort, Marmeta and three other 3-year-old fillies. The 350-yard race carries a $12,500 purse.

The picks: 1. Real Mirage. 2. Encrypted. 3. Applicator. 4. Quick Encounter. 5. Vising. 6. Tinys Royal Hugger. 7. The Maui Cartel. 8. Nordick Only VM. 9. Enjoy The Moment. 10. Tequiza Starlet.

Four! Single Real Mirage in the first, use Chick On The Loose, First Sight, Sand Mountain Tara and Encrypted in the second, Applicator and Pass The Bolgers in the third, and Quick Encounter, Night Lines and Hotter Than Cash in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: A Campus Chic drops in the sixth for trainer Connie Hall. Lucks Flying High comes back at the same level in the seventh after having been claimed by trainer Jorge Farias.

Post time: 7:15 p.m.
