Hawthorne Harness: Sunday 6/25 Analysis
Best Bet (5 - 10 / $18.80): ROCKIN PRALINE (1st)
Spot Play: PHENOMENAL (6th)
Race 1
(5) ROCKIN PRALINE well bred filly was the top driver's choice of three. (9) RAW DIAMOND will look to make it three straight wins; threat. (8) LIBBY'S IDEA filly has room to improve off a nice wire to wire victory.
Race 2
(7) WALTER WHITE impeccably bred trotter looks to be too much for this field; short price. (2) TOPVILLE AVATAR four-year-old is more than capable of hitting the ticket. (3) BIG EXPENSE just raced evenly last week and would need more to hit the top spot.
Race 3
In a very weak and inconsistent field, (3) GIFTFROMTHEHEART has some ability when she minds her manners. (8) I SEE SUCCESS has room to improve second start back off the layoff. (2) HASHTAG DREAMING three-year-old filly makes her career debut off an average qualifier.
Race 4
(8) ROYAL TABS six-year-old might be starting to find her stride late in her career after nice efforts in three straight. (1) ANTS INER PANTS has just been racing evenly but owns back class on the field. (5) KICKINITWITHKOHLER is a threat with a fast pace to close into.
Race 5
(10) PRIMED N POWERFUL will look to make it two straight at this level; fires early. (9) SURVIVOR DI trotting mare had a heck of a season last year and needed the start last week. (8) LINDY'S POSSESSED needs a good setup for a late piece; use underneath.
Race 6
(6) PHENOMENAL will offer a big price and picks up a huge driver change. (9) FABULOUS FIVE is the horse to beat taking a significant drop in class but should have been better last week; use caution. (1) SAGEBRUSH SUE had no chance last week from the far outside and very slow fractions.
Race 7
(2) NEVADA BLUCHIP well bred pacer has some upside and will offer a nice price. (1) BLISSFUL PANSY beat similar last week and picks up a good driver change. (9) HOTCAKES filly will look to make it three straight wins at this level.
Race 8
(4) NEXT ISSUE gets sent out for a red hot barn. (6) MIGHTY HOT SHOT has always been camera shy but is fast enough for a piece. (5) DUMAS GRAM has been pacing consistent miles against similar.
Race 9
(5) SHOTSKI earned the win last start even racing green. The lightly raced pacer has lots of room to improve in his third start back off the layoff. (6) BETORLUCKYTHANGOOD will probably take the most tote action off a really good effort. (3) WILDCAT HILTON will look to drop and pop against weaker.
Race 10
(7) PRETTY IMAGE has really blossomed into a nice pacer; short price. (8) LK'S NANCY LEE had lots of late pace last week with nowhere to go. (9) MIMOSA PARTY was impressive off a perfect trip last week but will need much more to tangle with the top choice.
