Best Bet: CLOUD NINE HANOVER (6th) Spot Play: SR BEACH BABE (11th) Race 1 - $50,000 Guaranteed Pick Five Pool Race 4 - $50,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool PICK 5: 1,5,6/2,3,4,5/2,3,6/4,6,8/2,9 = $43.20 EARLY PICK 4: 4,6,8/2,9/4/1,2,3,4,5,6,9 = $42 LATE PICK 4: 3,8/2,3,10/2,3,4,5/3,4 = $48 MEET STATS: 108 - 360 / $634.60  BEST BETS: 18 - 35 / $71.70 SPOT PLAYS: 12 - 35 / 128.20 Race 1 (5) SODWANA BAY circled widest on the final turn last week with but made little impact. That was after missing 3 weeks, however and she is back to a 7-day cycle here, so a more aggressive steer is likely; slight nod. (1) WINDSONMAGNIFIQUE raced well off the claim, but was no match for an impressive winner. She rates highly in here. (6) DAWN SHOOTER finished 2nd in fast time last time she raced in this class; using. (3) SOUTHWIND ION is always around the money in this class and she should share. Race 2 (5) MYSTICAL MISSION is in great form and he goes for a stable that has been running hot lately; top call. (2) MAJESTIC MARVEL gets a big driver change here to Henry, which should mean a very aggressive try is coming from him. (3) FONDUE is helped by the short field here and she could get put into action earlier than she has been; using. (4) BLAMEITONTHEWHISKY couldn't clear last time then he broke while under heavy urging on the backside. He should get a better trip here and he is a threat. Race 3 (6) GIVE ANGEL CREDIT showed enough speed in October to handle these and his December 7th qualifier over a track rated one second slow where he trotted a quick third 1/4 should have him ready; top call. (2) LEGEND WITHIN is a full-brother to Profound Patience, who finished 2nd in his debut. He could be ready to fire here. (3) SNARKY HANOVER is one of only three winners in the field and if he can knock a couple of seconds off switching to the big track, he can threaten these. (4) A DOOZY takes money almost every week, despite having failed in breaking her maiden 27 times. I'll play to beat her again. Race 4 (6) FADE AWAY is an unbeaten 3 for 3 in this second stint for trainer Nixon and this isn't the toughest spot; top call. (8) YOU SHOULD BE HERE is another that is in very sharp form that can't be left off multi-race tickets. (4) THIS DRAGON ROCKS faces easier here and she'll be coming late. Toss her in multi-race bets. (10) CAROLINA CHERRY was impressive last week, but the 10-hole will probably relegate her to a smaller share here. Race 5 (2) SHEZAREALDEAL raced tough first up last week. If she can work out a slightly easier trip here, she'll be right there. (9) MEA LILLEY MARK won from this post last time she was in this class and McClure should be rolling her early here; using. (3) SHE LIGHTS OUT steps up off a sharp win and her good form should be respected here. (1) D GS PESQUERO can take a share racing close to the front, but a third straight win is unlikely vs. these. Race 6 (4) CLOUD NINE HANOVER was very live last week, but he came up against a double millionaire that was taking a big drop and he couldn't stay with him late. A repeat of that mile makes him the one to beat here. (6) MUSCLE HIGH gets Macdonald back here and he is worth using at what should be a good price. (2) MEADOWBRANCH MEMO has improving form and he can take another share here. (3) RAMAS LAST SON is usually in the hunt at this level; use underneath. Race 7 (3) LYONS RIVER PRIDE missed a week, but she drops and gets a good post and she should be prominent here. (6) MUCH ADOO is another class-dropper who is likely to be sent hard off the gate and she should be in the thick of things throughout here. (1) JEWELONTHEBEACH N could get a similar trip as she did last week when she beat easier. She's not out of this. (5) WHISTYS PARADISE was outclassed last week vss. The best mares on the grounds, and while the top two may be too much for her here, she can close for a share. Race 8 (8) WESMONT is sharp and while the outside post should pose no problem for him, it may help boost his price here. (3) MUSCLE ALMIGHTY hinted at a return to his best form last week; using in the late Pick 4.  (2) CAGEY figures to contend here if he can stay flat this time. (1) ON FIRST figures to race close to the front and stick around for a smaller share here. Race 9 (10) BETTIM JACKIE has been lights out in his past three starts now he moves to the top barn shipping in and he gets Roy, who will have no problem rolling her early from the 10-hole; top call. (3) ALWAYS A VISION was flying late last week, but the pace was slowing. She can lay closer to the pace here, which will give her a decent shot. (2) DELIGHTFUL SPACE has a good record and she finished fast in her December 14th qualifier; using. (6) FRANSCHOEK continues to fall short and I'll bet that her 0 for 23 record this year gets extended another race here. Race 10 (4) ADVERSITY drops and he should be in better position turning for home here; slight nod. (3) MIGHTY NICKY raced well in his comeback race and he can be even better here. Toss him on late Pick 4 tickets. (2) NOFEAR BLUE CHIP was very good last week and he is another that merits Pick 4 inclusion based on that sharp win. (5) SASS can be heard from here dropping a class level and he wouldn't be the worst stab if he gets ignored in the wagering. Race 11 (4) SR BEACH BABE raced iron-tough first-over last week, but the class-dropping winner was too tough. She can take these. (3) V STRING took a shuffle last week, now she gets Roy, who will likely get aggressive with her; using. (6) PARTY IN ROME figures on the class drop, but she could still be a square price. (2) DANGEROUSPRECEDENT can take a slice dropping down a level. (9) MISS COCO LUCK showed good early speed from an outer post last time, then stuck around for a share. Expect similar here.
