Balmoral: Wednesday 4/23 Analysis
Race 6 $10,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Best Bet (8 - 11 / $37.00): PURITY (3rd)
Spot Play: YOUROLDLOVELETTER (4th)
Race 1
(3) LISTMYDEDOT lightly raced trotter raced well in the qualifier and finds a wide-open field. (2a) LOVIN YOU FOREVER well bred mare scored in her first start of the year but has been all downhill since. The 4-year-old faces a much softer bunch and was the driver's choice of two. (7) TWIST N SHOUT makes his sophomore debut and could be lurking with ability at a big price.

Race 2
(3) SLEAZEBURGERNFRIES three-year-old colt didn't break a sweat at Maywood in his first lifetime start. The pacer has proven connections and could be a real good one. (5) RIP N ROCK faces easier and has the pedigree to step up. (6) DUNESIDE MIKE comes off a nice qualifier and also has some upside.
Race 3
(7) PURITY made a break going for the lead early last out at Hoosier. The filly looks to be the most talented in the race but will need to mind her manners. (2) ALWAYS A ROMANCE very disappointing for her backers last out just needing a few more steps to get up. The filly was loaded with pace running over horses only to finally sling eight wide late. (8) SECTIONLINE ALTO filly raced well in her first lifetime start and should show some improvement.
Race 4
In an inconsistent field (4) YOUROLDLOV-ELETTER filly showed tremendous improvement last out racing extremely wide most of the mile; big chance. (5) WESTERN COWGIRL filly was the driver's choice of three but could just sit at the back before kicking home late. (3) A TANGIBLE LEASE gets a good post in a soft field.
Race 5
(5) NITROGEN FUSE could be the horse to beat with a smooth trip and has been racing gamely. (1) RICKY BOBBIE has won three straight and benefits from the best post. (8) JUSTLIVINTHEDREAM drops in for a tag and will get an aggressive drive.
Race 6
(3) IGETAGOODFEELING well bred filly made a miscue last out but could be ready for an improved effort. (5) BRIGHT LIGHT is also well bred and had a troubled trip last start. (8) LITTLE WARRIORETTE mare has been sharp and keeps getting better; threat.
Race 7
(6) RAPHAELL has been facing better in Indiana and finds a very suspect field. (9) DON'T MISS A TWEET trotting filly has a nice pedigree and comes off a good looking qualifier. (4) CARDINAL WIND has been improving and does have some upside; fires late.
Race 8
(3) CARNOUSTIE was better last out after coming up empty the start prior. The 4-year-old mare should offer a good price in a field with few contenders. (5) SEEYOUATTHEFINISH mare is razor sharp and would be tough to beat with a repeat of her last effort. (8) CASINO COMP has also showed really good closing ability and just needs a good setup for a piece late.
Race 9
(4) ITZALASSIE comes off a scratch but did make the most money in the field last year and consistently shows decent closing ability. (3) OSAGE mare makes her second start off a layoff and should be tighter. (5) YES WE DID mare has been pacing some decent miles but hasn't won in a very long time; use underneath.
