Race 7 - $30,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Race 1
(4) ROCKIN EDDIE put in a much-improved effort last week just missing against a nice opponent. (2) HERECOMESMAGOTTA has burned cash at this level multiple times but is one of the faster pacers in the field. (6) FOX VALLEY RIVIERA lightly raced pacer has room to improve in his third career start.
Race 2
(2) BLISSFUL PANSY takes a huge drop down against weaker. (3) DALI TREASURE is the other dropper in the race. The 5-year-old mare was close against better three back. (4) BLUE GEM just missed at this level last out racing gamely.
Race 3
(4) FOX VALLEY HIPSTER had no chance last week from the far outside. The 3-year-old will offer a big price and flashed good ability two back. (1) MCKEE CREEK should be in line for a great trip up close. (2) VITALITY picks up a slightly better pilot this week with a decent starting post.
Race 4
(2) FOUR STAR BIG GUY swooped a similar field impressively last week. (6) BLUEBIRD GOLDWYN has hit the board in six straight at this level. (1) DANDY'S PHOENIX looks to be in line for a ground-saving trip up close.
Race 5
(8) SALVATORE gelding looks to have good ability if he stays pacing. (9) OWEN needs to find a way into the race but keeps the top driver in a weak and inconsistent field. (1) MISTER MCSKINNY two-year-old colt is one of few horses in the race with upside.
Race 6
(7) BANKIN' ON YOU sophomore filly has lots of room to improve in her second career start. (1) PHILLY WELLNESS well bred 2-year-old has been close in three straight. (3) BOURBONTINI adds first-time Lasix against a weak field.
Race 7
(3) SHOOTING COOL filly has just been racing evenly but drops to the bottom class. (4) MY GREEK PRINCESS owns a win at this level on the year and will offer a big price. (1) MG'S HEARTBRAKER can hit the ticket with a trouble-free trip.
Race 8
(7) COOL CASPER lightly raced pacer owns a big brush when timed right. (4) ADELE'S BIG PARTY shows some good closing efforts and could use a good setup. (2) DOUBLE INDEMNITY has been improving with every start on the year; threat.
Race 9
(4) ISLAND CAMPAIGN four-year-old mare is in career form and will be looking for three straight wins. (5) JEANA ROSE mare is very inconsistent from week to week. A good effort puts her close at a price. (6) OVER SPEEDING gets sent out for capable connections off a nice win.
Race 10
(3) SHEINCREDIBLENASTY filly is a headcase but when right is very fast. (6) PARTY BELLE faces much weaker and appears to be going in the right direction; threat. (4) FOX VALLEY MIRANDA went a big three quarters of a mile last week pacing a personal lifetime best.
