Best Bet (3 - 4 / $10.60): SHEINCREDIBLENASTY (7th)
Spot Play: SHELBY RAE (9th)
Race 7 - $20,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Race 1
(7) REAL PEACE was tremendous off the layoff and will offer a nice price second start back. (6) SCIROCCO ALEX gets sent out for a low percentage pilot but has also been sharp. (5) SLZBURGERSLZBURGER just needs a trouble free trip to hit the ticket.
Race 2
(1) LOUS CREDIT REPORT is just now back in racing shape and gets the best starting post. (4) MONEY CRAZED adds second time lasix for a hot barn. (5) BIG EXPENSE was really good in the qualifier and has a great history at this track.
Race 3
In a really weak field, (4) AUTUMN STORM finished second against similar last week and needed the start. (7) DON'T FORGET well bred filly adds first time lasix and has a start over the track. (2) LEX TWO filly has just been racing evenly but faces much weaker.
Race 4
(4) DEO'S PERFECTSOUND lightly raced 3-year-old makes her third career start off a much improved effort. (6) STAR OF OUR SHOW has dominated this group so far; short price. (7) ICY IYQ needs a smooth trip but has flashed ability.
Race 5
(6) PICKY PICKY VALOR four-year-old might find himself racing out east if he continues his hot streak. (7) ANNAS LUCKY STAR was unchallenged last week. The 4-year-old mare will get a chance to shine against a tough group. (3) SCHWARBER will offer a big price and could be the sleeper in the race should a fast pace up front take place.
Race 6
(7) FORT EL SAID won't offer as big of a price as last week but can make it two straight with a similar effort. (4) POP SPEED picks up a huge driver change. The 3-year-old was uncontrollable going a huge half mile last start. The pacer just needs to ration out his speed for a victory. (3) MAKIN' A MOVE showed decent closing ability two back.
Race 7
(9) SHEINCREDIBLENASTY filly doesn't look the best on paper but has more talent than most of the field when she minds her manners. (7) MISS TENNESSEE gets sent out for a proven barn against a suspect bunch. (6) PRETTYFACEUGLYWAYS has been competitive against similar on the year.
Race 8
(1) SPORTS CREEK nice looking 3-year-old adds first-time lasix off a solid qualifier. (7) SHAME ON THE MOON appears to be the horse to beat but will offer a very low price and only has one career win. (5) SPORTS COWBOY should be tighter second start back off the layoff.
Race 9
(3) SHELBY RAE was the victim of a poor drive last week. The filly had tons of pace with nowhere to go. (1) OVER SPEEDING picks up the top driver with the best post. (2) OH JOSEPHINE bumps up a notch after a win against weaker; needs more.
Race 10
(7) MOLINA jumped up with a huge effort out of nowhere. A repeat of that gets him in the winner's circle. (5) FOX VALLEY HIJINX adds second-time lasix and should be much sharper in his second start off the bench. (4) SHERIFF COFFEY pacer has lots of ability but has yet to put it all together.
