Spot Play: ALLBEASTNOBEAUTY (2nd)
Race 7 - $15,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Race 1
(6) FOX VALLEY TORRID two-year-old filly has lots of room to improve after a solid debut. (4) YANKEE JOANIE will look to make it four wins in four starts; short price. (8) NEDDY NUMBER THREE filly might be able to hit the ticket at a price if the she can mind her manners.
Race 2
(6) ALLBEASTNOBEAUTY came up empty last week after being sharp to start the year. A bounce-back effort of her prior races would make her the horse to beat. (5) FOX VALLEY JAZZY has yet to finish worse than second in four starts on the year. (2) SAN ANTONIO ROSE mare closed out her 3-year-old year in style. The 4-year-old probably needs a start but has put in multiple qualifiers.
Race 3
(2) EZPAY has lots of room to improve second start back; adds Lasix. (1) ROCKNROLL HOOCHCOO gets the best post in a weak and inconsistent field. (5) FILLY FORTY has been sharp in two straight.
Race 4
(6) WALTER WHITE can beat this bunch with a trouble-free trip; fires early. (7) ANNAS LUCKY STAR has dazzled in three straight; short price. (5) PICKY PICKY VALOR four-year-old is in career form and looks to be in line for another good trip up close.
Race 5
(3) DONNA'S BEACH doesn't win often but has been very close at this level. (4) SUMMER PARTY gets sent out for capable connections and will offer a much better price this week. (2) HER ROYAL HOTTNESS has made the most money of the field on the year.
Race 6
(6) BIG GARCIA VEGA showed a good burst of speed two back on the fair circuit and will offer a nice price in a wide open race. (3) RUSTY RED VALOR flashed good ability before the miscue last week. (8) FOXVALLEYRUSHHOUR might be the main danger late with a decent setup.
Race 7
(6) CRUZEN CASSI turned it around last week with a nice effort and adds first-time Lasix. (5) SUNNY SASHA has just been racing evenly but fits in with this bunch nicely. (8) FOX VALLEY UNLEASH was close in two straight against similar before the miscue last out.
Race 8
(6) J COUGAR three-year-old was flying late last week. The filly might be starting to figure things out. (5) MAPLE GROVE ELLEN has also been slightly improved in two straight. (2) NOTNANGEL two-year-old filly faces older but has room to improve in her third career start.
Race 9
(9) BUCKLEGIRL BOBETTE pacing mare is razor sharp setting two lifetime marks in a row; fires early. (8) PHYLLIS JEAN owns a win at this level on the year. (1) TOWN TEMPTRESS needed the start last week and has room to improve second start out in a new barn.
Race 10
(8) TOTALLY PAZZAZZED will look to make it six wins in ten starts on the year. (1) ILLINIMIGHT three-year-old appears to be going in the right direction and should be much closer turning for home this week. (4) MAJESTIC CAPRICE has also been racing gamely and gets a post edge on the top choice.
