Best Bet (9 - 19 / $39.80): DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1st)
Spot Play: LOUS SILVER STAR (8th)
Race 7 - $30,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Race 1
(2) DOUBLE INDEMNITY has shown steady improvement in recent and picks up a huge driver change. (5) CAUSWAY has been sneaky sharp in two straight. (7) TRAIL BLAZER bounced back with a good effort off the scratch; threat.
Race 2
(5) FOX VALLEY MOJITO three-year-old pacer makes his debut off an encouraging qualifier. (6) DREAMS AND SCHEMES has raced well against better in two straight. (3) VANITY GIRL filly has lots of room to improve in her second lifetime start.
Race 3
(6) SAN ANTONIO ROSE is just now back in racing shape and might offer the better price of the contenders. (4) SHELLY ON MY MIND set a lifetime mark last out drawing off impressively. (1) MISSPANDEROSAJONES picks up the top driver facing much easier.
Race 4
(4) WIMPLE'S DIMPLE has been knocking on the door in two straight at this level. (2) MY KIND OF TERROR should be closer turning for home this week. (3) RED HOT PACKERETTE flashed a lot of ability as a two-year-old and has been racing gamely.
Race 5
(3) BIG LOU appears to have figured it out staying flat in two straight. (1) MAJISTIC CAPRICE adds second-time Lasix starting from the best post. (7) TRUE DETECTIVE just needs to stay trotting for a chance to hit the ticket.
Race 6
(1) JUST MY KINDA GUY showed significant improvement race and finds a weak field full of question marks. (6) SALVATORE gets sent out for a capable barn off a decent effort. (7) NOT ME GRAM is 0 for 23 lifetime but has hit the board at this level in three of five starts.
Race 7
(5) MOCKING ROBIN was an easy winner against similar last start. (3) ISLAND CAMPAIGN might be one of few threats to the top choice. (10) DUNE ON TIME raced huge last week from a similar spot.
Race 8
(6) LOUS SILVER STAR looks to offer a big price and will be going for a fifth straight win against better. (5) GOOD DESIGN three-year-old filly has stamped herself as the horse to beat in the division. (3) WHITE PANTS FEVER has tailed off a touch but could be dangerous with an ideal setup.
Race 9
(3) REMEMBER THE PARTY filly is one of few in the race with upside. The 3-year-old flashed decent late kick after the early miscue in her last effort. (1) SHOOTING COOL had some sneaky late pace from a tough post last out. (8) IDEAL'S NICOLE picks up the top driver; threat.
Race 10
(4) VEGAS BOMB had no chance last week from the outside. The 3-year-old is a trouble-free trip away from hitting the board at a price. (2) SOUTHERN SAGE lightly raced pacer bumps up a notch after a win against softer. (7) BLUEBIRD GOLDWYN should probably be considered the horse to beat but has burned cash in five straight; use caution.
