Race 7 - $25,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Best Bet (25 - 44 / $104.80): LITTLE MS CHRISSY (6th)
Spot Play: JUST FOR FUN (4th)
Race 1
(7) DONNIE DARKO well bred colt picks up a catch driver that could signal the trainer has him ready in his debut. (8) BERTO ADALINA is a huge threat with a victory against better but does get the outside post with a suspect driver. (6) ACT OF VALOR nice-looking trotter should be much improved in his second lifetime start.

Race 2
(2) FOX VALLEY ADENA filly flashed some talent closing up decent ground in her first lifetime start; big chance. (5) MIRIAM'S JET put a line through the sophomore pacer's last line as she had no shot; threat. (4) ALWAYS A JEWEL filly pacer could be starting to figure out what she's supposed to do and could be ready for a good effort.
Race 3
(2) FEETONTHEDASHBOARD filly put in an eye-popping victory last out unleashing a wicked brush; driver's choice. (7) JOYFUL ROCK didn't miss by much to the top choice last out and looks to have a lot of room to improve. (1) MR LELAND'S FILLY comes off a fast qualifier that doesn't translate to near the same time and could need a start after shipping from out east.
Race 4
(2) JUST FOR FUN has a ton of ability and could just be rounding back into racing shape. (1) MACK'S GOLD BAND made a miscue last out but had been racing gamely prior; threat. (5) FANCY LABEL mare also has some breaking issues but can trot really fast when she minds her manners.
Race 5
(7) H-AND-N DHO HAILEY went from awesome to empty last out but a repeat of the start prior puts her on the board. (4) BONJOUR MADAM didn't take to the turns at Maywood and is much better suited for the big track; fires late. (6) WILD BERRY MUFFLER mare is 0 for the year but has flashed a good brush in a few starts.
Race 6
(6) LITTLE MS CHRISSY is reunited with a decent pilot and should be ready for a much better effort. (5) POWERFUL POE also gets a good driver change and has more ability than most of the field when right. (9) FOX VALLEY VETO impressive 3-year-old faces older but could race from the back; use caution.
Race 7
(2) GENTLE JANET gets a post edge on her main rivals and just needs a trouble free trip for a big chance. (7) JUST BY DESIGN got an easy win last out and faces a similar field; threat. (8) PIERCE MY HEART mare has flashed some big moves but needs a lot of racing luck; use underneath.
Race 8
(3) OUR MISS LILY well bred mare gets a huge driver change and raced much better last out. (9) WINSPIRATIONAL was sneaky good last but needs to find a way into the race. (5) KIMBERLEY R rarely wins and usually never at this level; use underneath.
Race 9
(4) MY MISS CAROLINE mare sports an impressive sixteen for nineteen lifetime record and just needs to stay trotting for a good shot late. (6) ANTS INER PANTS exploded late last out just missing; big chance. (5) EASTER TEKA was racing gamely before being roughed up last start; threat.
Race 10
(10) LD'S DASH was full of pace last out with nowhere to go; fires early. (1) PUT TO THE TEST gets the best post, takes a big drop in class, and will be used very aggressively. (9) FOX VALLEY IVAN needs to avoid an early battle for the top for his best chance; command a price.
