Balmoral: Wednesday 9/24 Analysis
Race 6 - $10,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Best Bet (38 - 72 / $152.40): PERSUASIVE LOOK (1st)
Spot Play: BLUERIDGE LEGACY (8th)
Race 1
(3) PERSAUSIVE LOOK filly showed a big late kick last out and will be tough to beat with a similar effort. The 2-year-old trotter needed her last start and has lots of upside. (8) FOX VALLEY YOKO is capable of much better. The filly tired late last out but also needed her start. (7) BI POLAR ROSE has flashed some talent but is best used underneath.

Race 2
In a fairly wide open race (6) PISTOPACKINPIPER really raced well last start closing good ground; threat. (2) SHADOW'S IMAGE has the look of a good one making his third career start off an excellent second effort. (4) SUPER SON OF SANDY comes into the race ten for ten on the year but will have to prove himself on the big track.
Race 3
(9) DUBLIN ROSE went a big effort against much better last out and should offer a fair price. (4) CIRCLE OF LOVE lagged the gate last out and still almost circled the field. (1) TREAT FOR MY SWEET filly has plenty of talent and just needs to put it all together.
Race 4
(10) SYNERGY SEELSTER takes a double drop in class which the race secretary rarely allows. The well bred pacing mare has a class edge on the field and should win with a trouble-free trip. (8) MARMARIA has the look of a live long shot shipping in from Hoosier. (4) GENTLE JANET also drops in class and is racing much better than her lines indicate.
Race 5
In a field full of question marks (10) SHOTGUN SEASON has more ability than most of the field and just needs to mind his manners for a piece. (6) TIME MACHINE flashed some ability a few months ago but could need another start. (2) HERE'S TOOTSIE gets a huge driver change and should have a shot to hit the ticket.
Race 6
(6) CASINO COMP had no interest last out just needing the start over the track. The provisional driver should be much more aggressive second start back off a layoff. (3) ONE LOUD DING shouldn't be overlooked and can jump up with good efforts from time to time. (2) LOVERS HOLIDAY has recently shown signs of life despite being 0 for the year.
Race 7
(7) LYNRAE JAZMIN filly finds another suspect field to make it two straight. (1) WICKED ONE will offer a huge price and could have more to offer after an acclimating mile over the track. (5) YOUROLDLOV-ELETTER doesn't show much on paper but if some of the kinks are worked out, the pacer owns a big burst of speed.
Race 8
(5) BLUERIDGE LEGACY was excellent last out and is just now rounding back into racing shape. (6) BENNS SCORE KEEPER will be much closer turning for home and should be considered the horse to beat. (9) NESSIE'S BOY is inconsistent but one of his better efforts puts him in the mix.
Race 9
In a tough race to handicap (7) WINDOW WIPER has big chance facing much weaker. (4) CAMILLE ROSE has done well at this level and is versatile. (3) KITTY O'BRIEN owns the best late kick but needs an ideal setup; fires late.
