Race 7 - $25,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Best Bet (28 - 46 / $103.20): LEXINGTON LADY (1st)
Spot Play: DANDY’S BEAUTY (3rd)
Race 1
(10) LEXINGTON LADY has beaten much better on the year and just needs a trouble-free trip to run up the score. (1) MANCHESTER MATTIE filly gets the best post and was the driver's choice of three. (5) IN MY FEELINGS comes off a break and a scratch but flashed ability in his first career start; use underneath.

Race 2
In a wide open race (3) FOX VALLEY HONEY just raced evenly in her debut but has plenty of room to improve against a field full of question marks. (8) SHEZ A DEVIL WOMAN has been consistent and will be forwardly placed. (10) PRAISE SINGER could be the best in the race but will need to mind her manners along with overcoming the worst post.
Race 3
(9) DANDY'S BEAUTY put in a huge effort last out being three wide at the half. The pacer looks to be heading in the right direction. (8) FRONTIER SARAH beat this same group last start rather easy, however the 3-year-old gets sent out for a provisional pilot. (3) JETOMATT filly came up empty last week after two nice efforts.
Race 4
(6) BIG EXPENSE three-year-old colt was the driver's choice and showed a big late kick in the qualifier. (4) SPEND IT IN well bred trotter has upside facing much weaker after shipping in from out east. (8) ABC BIG SHOT trotted a personal lifetime best last start and owns a decent burst of speed; command a price.
Race 5
(9) DB pacing colt looks much faster than this group scoring a season's best for 2-year old colt and gelding pacers on a half mile track last start. (1) BIG MONTY gets the best post off a solid debut. (8) PONDAS CUTELILDUDE could be a player at a price on the bottom of the ticket.
Race 6
(7) TIME OUTA JAIL has burned cash in two straight but is the horse to beat with a decent setup. (5) CELEBRITY HERCULES should ensure a fast early pace and can trot a big mile at any time. (4) EASTER TEKA has been sharp but is best used underneath unless there's a driver change which did happen last start.
Race 7
(2) VIRGIN OFMY DREAMS is one for twenty-seven lifetime but the 4-year-old mare has been improving; threat. (7) NITTY GRITTY mare has had bad racing luck and tough trips in her last three. (6) BONJOUR MADAM six-year-old mare has been racing gamely but is probably best used underneath.
Race 8
(9) RICKY TIDWELL has been facing much tougher in Indiana and just needs to stay pacing for a big chance. (6) MR MATLOCK pacer makes his third start back off the bench and should be primed for a better effort. (7) BINGO PRINCE has yet to win in his career but does own a decent move when timed right; command a price.
Race 9
(4) SOUTHERN SPECIAL trotting gelding can only beat himself and will likely win if he stays trotting. (2) BULLDOG BENJI also has breaking issues but will hit the ticket if he minds his manners. (5) AMAZED has been progressing but has lacked stamina late; use underneath.
Race 10
(8) LOVE THIS PLACE was tremendous last out just missing up in class. If the pacing mare races back to that effort it lights out. (5) NUTMEGS YANKEE is 0 for the year but raced well last start and faces slightly easier. (1) ADDIE ROSE set a lifetime mark last week and has room to improve.
