Race 6 - $10,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Best Bet: BRICK BAZOOKA (3rd)
Spot Play: EARTHLY DESIRE (6th)
Race 1
(3) RT HABENERO will offer the better price and has the ability to beat the favorite. (5) JAKE QUAIDER has been much the best in his last two; short price. (1) CAPTAIN GREEDY has a nice record of hitting the board and an outside shot at being in the top two.

Race 2
In a tough race to gauge (1) SUPER SCOOTER could be sitting on a better effort adding lasix for the second time. (7) HERE'S TOOTSIE is one of few in the race to show consistency but looks to offer low value. (2) IMASTARLIGHTDANCER needs an improved effort to hit the top spot; use underneath.
Race 3
(6) BRICK BAZOOKA went a monster effort in his debut. If the pacer races anything close to that it's lights out. (8) SKYWAY BRENLIN was much better last start racing from off the pace. (3) YOU'RE MY HERO raced gamely last out needing the start.
Race 4
In a fairly wide open race (5) C J'S TERROR is 0 for the year but will offer a big price and gets a huge driver change. If the pacing mare minds her manners she could pick up the pieces late. (4) ONE LOUD DING will also offer a huge price and could hit the board with some racing luck. (6) WILD BERRY MUFFLER took all the early tote action last out and went a career best effort drawing off.
Race 5
(7) EASY ON THE CHIPS gets sent out for a trainer that has brought in some nice priced horses in recent months. (2) DONTMESSWITHANGEL has been much better as of late and fits nicely at this level; threat. (1) KITTY O'BRIEN is on a roll finishing first and second but will offer low value and needs the right setup.
Race 6
(6) EARTHLY DESIRE mare raced huge last out and now makes her third start back off a layoff. (5) JOYFUL GAME never had a chance last out with dull cover. The pacer will be much closer turning for home; fires late. (4) INDIAN CREEK KATIE showed good pace on both ends of the mile before a speed break late; threat.
Race 7
(9) CAMWISER has been very competitive at this level for the connections. (8) YERMANOS will look to make it three straight against a similar bunch. (5) REALLY LUCKY has shown slight improvement for new connections and will offer a monster price.
Race 8
In a field full of question marks (7) MISSCOMMUNICATION raced well off a scratch last out and should have more to offer second start for a new trainer. (6) SECONDS LATER loves burning cash playing the bridesmaids role; command a price. (1) CHILLY BREEZ has been knocking on the door and gets the best post.
Race 9
(1) BLUE RIVER just needs an easier trip from the rail to score a victory. (8) PREMONITION well bred pacer is 0 for the year but has shown good closing ability and was the driver's choice of three. (3) GLIDED TOWARDS ME has been pacing some decent miles and should be in line for a ground-saving trip.
