Best Bet: EASY LOVER HANOVER (2nd) Spot Play: FANCOURT (5th) Race 1 - $50,000 Guaranteed Pick Five Pool Race 4 - $50,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool PICK 5: 3,5,6/1/4,6/1,3,5,7,9/1 = $6 EARLY PICK 4: 1,3,5,7,9/1/3,5,6/2,5,6 = $45 LATE PICK 4: 2,5,6/3/3/3,5 = $6 MEET STATS: 95 - 320 / $559.10   BEST BETS: 16 - 31 / $65.60 SPOT PLAYS: 11 - 31 / 117.60 Race 1 In a race where it appears a fast early pace is likely, I'll settle on stout closer (6) DUNBAR HALL, who has been racing well for several weeks. (5) FREE WILLY HANOVER also figures to benefit from some early battling and he should be able to work out a better trip here. (3) GRANA PADANNO was a determined winner in this class two starts back and he doesn't need to get the lead to win; using. (2) CHARLIE IS A JOKER is in top form having won two of his last three starts, but a smaller share seems probable for him here. Race 2 (1) EASY LOVER HANOVER is the top horse on the grounds shooting for his fifth straight win in the top class. He will be very tough to beat here. (3) FOOL ME ONCE understandably tired last time after missing a month between starts. He should be much better here. (6) CHAMPAGNE PHIL races tough every week and he can close for a piece of this. (4) NIRVANA SEELSTER figures to be there early, but it's unlikely that he will stick around for more than a minor share here. Race 3 (4) WINDSUN GOTHAM was an impressive winner in the opening leg of this series and he can come right back and double up here. (6) JK PRIDENJOY paced a 27 flat third 1/4 uncovered on the rim last time which softened him up late in the mile. He's in with a decent chance here if he can find a better trip. (2) BRAVE WORLD was a good 2nd to the choice and he figures to be right there at the wire again. (1) ARTOFFICIAL FLAVOR was a bit dull last time; small share predicted here. Race 4 (6) D GS PESQUERO could get another great trip near the front here with seemingly few fast leavers signed on; top call. (3) JUSTABIT MEAN motored home to beat similar when she got post relief last time and starting from a decent slot again gives her a good chance to double up. (1) DAWN SHOOTER took a shuffle last time and although post 1 isn't ideal for her, she has an upset chance here if she can work out a better trip. (7) THE EMPIRESSISTER N typically races well at this class and she can hit the ticket racing close up. Race 5 (1) FANCOURT raced too good to lose last time, but he was nailed by a classy rival late in the mile. I'll single him here with that rival not in this race. (3) P L JACKSON steps up one level off a sharp win and he should be prominent throughout here. (2) BIG BOY ELROY can take a slice here if he gets a better start. (4) EAST END has been in solid form for a few weeks and although he hasn't been able to notch a win, he is a good one to use underneath. Race 6 (5) WANDA BAYAMA drops into a spot where she should be the boss. Expect an aggressive steer from Cullen. (3) EVERY TIME is dangerous going for Moreau/Roy off the claim; using. (6) LIGHTS GO OUT gets a slightly better post here in a class where she fits well. Toss her on Pick 4 tickets. (1) V STRING made two moves in this class last time and just missed. She isn't out of this, but the others are preferred for the win. Race 7 (5) YOURE MAJESTIC jogged last time she raced this low. If she behaves, she will be tough in here. (2) WILD AND CRAZY GUY drops and picks up Henry here; using. (6) O NARUTAC PERFETTO couldn't get to the game winner late last time but that was a solid effort and he figures in here again. (7) RENEGADE MAGIC can pass a few of these late to take a share. Race 8 (3) BETTER B ROLLING was dominant in the opening leg of the series and he should repeat here with a reasonable trip. (1) HURRIKANE KINGKONG finished well and he can be a threat here if he lays a bit closer. (5) HES A POPPER was no match for the choice last week, but he should be good for another share here. (2) PENZANCE HANOVER should finish on the edges after racing close up. Race 9 (3) BLATANTLY BEST had a comeback race and now he drops into a likely spot; top call. (2) FINE DIAMOND is an infrequent winner, but he's in good form and he should be close here again. (4) MAKE SOME LUCK always races well at this level it seems and he can take a share here. (1) REGAL SON has improving form and he wouldn't be the worst stab here if he gets ignored in the wagering. Race 10 (5) NICKLE BAG raced well from the 10-hole in his comeback start and winter racing is his thing. He could be much sharper here; slight nod. (3) MAJOR HILL took a shuffle last time, but he was close racing in this class in two straight before that; using. (2) HES A SENSATION is stuck on one win, but he is sharp, and he should hit the ticket again. (6) SINGLE WHITE SOCK is always on the board racing at this level; use underneath. (7) HIGHLANDBEACHYCOVE has been on a roll, but he will likely find these too tough; small share predicted. [DRF HARNESS NEWSLETTER: Sign Up for the FREE DRF Harness Newsletter.
