Race 8 - $30,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Race 1
(7) BIG TYME SHOOTER has made the most money of the field on the year and shows good versatility. (6) POWERFULL INTENSE bumps up a notch but will look to make it three wins in four starts. (1) FINLEYS FILLY has been a consistent cash burner at this level; use caution.
Race 2
(7) THE BUCKET nice looking 2-year-old shows good ability and gets sent out for proven connections. (3) RYAN OUT LOUD showed a good late kick two back. (2) FRONTIER MUFFLER should be in line for an excellent trip up close.
Race 3
(5) TRIXIE'S TURBO gelding had a lot of late trot in his winning debut. The-2-year-old has room to improve against a field full of question marks. (3) PRINCE CASSIS will offer a much better price this week and was super two back. (4) CRACKERJACK BILL gelding has lots of room to improve in his third lifetime start.
Race 4
(2) COUNT ON IT freshman filly trotter just missed in the qualifier racing gamely and looks to offer a big price. (6) E L GAME ON is probably the horse to beat coming off a very strong win from off the pace. (5) HEIDI HIGH filly is very fast but she is also very small; use caution.
Race 5
(3) COOL CASPER lightly raced 3-year-old owns a big brush when timed right. (8) SHERIFF COFFEY will offer a big price and owns a win against similar on the year. (6) FOX VALLEY SINFUL picks up a significant driver change; threat.
Race 6
(2) LIL GATOR four-year-old should be ready for a better effort third start back off the long layoff. (6) A E GUIDA JUDY gets sent out second start for a new barn off an improved first effort. (7) MAPLE GROVE ELLEN looked home free last week before slowing up late.
Race 7
(2) REMEMBER THE PARTY drew off impressively against a similar bunch last out. (1) ASHLEES COCKTAIL keeps the top driver despite making a bad break late last week. (10) BREATHTAKING SKY adds second-time Lasix and will offer a big price in an inconsistent field.
Race 8
(2) DASH AROUND sophomore pacer was very impressive last week when asked to pace in the lane. (5) SB MARVALOUS BEACH gets sent out first start for a capable barn. (4) MYKONOS has been a disappointment on the year but faces much weaker this time out.
Race 9
(6) BANKIN' ON YOU nice-looking filly was unable find a way into the race last week but should be much closer turning for home. (7) DREAMS AND SCHEMES filly just missed last race from far back. (10) GEE GEG G three-year-old filly has flashed a decent burst of speed off the gate which could give the her a chance to hit the ticket at a price.
Race 10
(3) BELLE OF THE BEACH well bred mare went a huge three-quarters of a mile last week before getting picked off down the lane. She will offer another big price and just needs to ration out her speed. (1) MY KIND OF TERROR keeps the top driver with the best starting post. (4) FOX VALLEY MIRANDA has hit the board in six of seven; short price.
Race 11
(6) FOX VALLEY JALAN three-year-old gelding can score a victory if he minds his manners. (8) FOX VALLEY RIVIERA lightly raced pacer has flashed a decent burst of speed in all three efforts at this level. (5) MAJOR ATTRIBUTE probably needs a start but has some upside.
