Best Bet (11 - 20 / $54.40): BLISSFUL PANSY (7th)
Spot Play: DAN P (10th)
Race 1
(8) WILDCAT HILTON went a big effort last start against better. (1) FOX VALLEY SPARTY gets sent out for capable connections with the best post. (7) ALL IN NO OUT was the drivers choice coming off a win against weaker.
Race 2
(3) ALL ABOUT COWBOYS looks to offer another solid price going for three straight. (5) TOPVILLE AVATAR was in too tough at Hoosier but is capable of beating this group. (6) BANKER VOLO is on a big time roll looking to make it five in a row; short price.
Race 3
(5) MUSCLE IMAGE has shown big closing ability in two straight. (3) PICKY PICKY VALOR is good enough to score at a price if the 3-year-old can mind his manners. (1) LOUSCIPHER looked to be the best a few starts ago but has since tailed off; use caution.
Race 4
(6) RSS EXPRESS was the driver's choice and looks to offer a nice price against weaker. (2) SKYWAY JAYLO made a break last week but was sharp the start prior. (5) JACKIE GOLDSTEIN has yet to win on the year; use underneath.
Race 5
(1) ANNAS LUCKY STAR has been very consistent on the year. The 3-year-old will look to make it three straight. (3) LOUS CREDIT REPORT looks to be one of few threats in the race to the top choice. (6) BEATRICE finally earned a win against weaker last start.
Race 6
In an evenly matched race, (7) SHYMASTER appears to be on the right track and can cash with a good setup. (4) JEWELS HALL has just been racing evenly but should be in line for a nice ground-saving trip up close. (2) DO YOU DARE three-year-old filly has not been able to finish her miles; command a price.
Race 7
(1) BLISSFUL PANSY pacing mare is starting to blossom into a nice racehorse. (4) LK'S NANCY LEE mare is capable but inconsistent. (6) LAKESIDE MS QUEEN beat a similar bunch last out racing gamely.
Race 8
(2) FOX VALLEY VETO gelding certainly isn't what he used to be but should find this spot much more to his liking. (1) KICKINITWITHKOHLER gets the best post in a field full of question marks. (10) SURVIVER DI will need to find a way into the race but can hit the ticket with a good setup.
Race 9
(7) OH JOSEPHINE will look to drop and pop down in class against weaker. (2) GRAN SAN had no excuse last week getting picked off late; command a price. (1) REAL SHEILA is very inconsistent from week to week, however a good effort puts her in the mix.
Race 10
(7) DAN P might be starting to turn the corner off three really nice efforts. (5) DANDY'S BROTHER has been competitive at this level and will offer a big price. (2) BLACK COTTON well bred 3-year-old has hit the board in eight of eleven on the year.
