Race 1 – Two-Year-Olds NW10000 Lifetime
(8) TRENDY H freshman filly has been holding her own against tougher at Hoosier. (2) FLAMES OF FIRE showed good improvement last week at this level. (1) POOTIE CAT also has room to improve and draws the best post. (3) FLYINGLADYBLUES has just been racing evenly; use underneath.
Race 2 – NW1500L4
(5) STICKUM VICKY is just now back in racing shape and has been sharp. (6) TAROT takes a huge drop down against weaker. (3) NAUT E CAVIAR keeps the top driver but has yet to win on the year; command a price. (2) MOONSHINE RUNNER needs a lot of racing luck to be close.
Race 3 – NW5000L4
(2) DOUBLE A CASH HALL owns back class on most of the field despite being 0 for the year. (5) BO I SEE TIME the effort three back at Hoosier would be more than good enough to get the job done. (1) JUSTLIKEHIM shows good efforts against better and adds second time lasix. (6) BIG EXPENSE gelding always gives maximum effort but has lost a step or two this year; use underneath.
Race 4 – FM 4000-5000 Claimer
(7) BACKWOODS BARBIE has been tremendous for the new barn since the claim; short price. (4) SUMMER PARTY would be the main danger should the top choice falter. (1) MISS PROFITABILITY mare drops in for the tag facing weaker. (3) HER ROYAL HOTTNESS has hit the board in two of five against this group; needs more.
Race 5 - FM NW4/40000 Lifetime
(5) SUSAN SAGE will look to make it five straight and eight of fourteen on the year. (7) FOX VALLEY SIERRA has been racing gamely and owns a recent win against the top choice. (1) KELLY’S KINDNESS has some upside but would need much more to tangle with the top two choice. (4) FRESH EYES has just been racing evenly; use underneath.
Race 6 – FM NW1
(2) SPICY LIL HOPE two-year-old filly faces older but is one of few in the race with upside. (6) TRULY REAL adds Lasix and picks up a positive driver change. (7) ARIATTA ROSE has hit the board in four straight and shows good late pace in all of those races. (5) SHOOT THE BREEZE had some sneaky late pace at this level two back before the miscue.
Race 7 – FM NW1500L4
(10) I DANCE U PRANCE will need a better effort than the start a few weeks ago but a bounce back mile would beat this bunch. (8) OLIVIA D HAVAWIN gets sent out first start for a hot barn. (9) BUGATTI BEAUTY might try and make it tough on the top choice leaving the gate. (2) MORGANGETSHERWAY has yet to threaten at this level and is best used on the bottom of your tickets.
Race 8 – 4000 Claimer
(6) LUCPARK will look to make it two straight at this level for the new trainer. (3) GHOSTS AND LEGENDS shows a decent burst of speed but needs a trouble free trip. (2) SHADY’S DREAM BOY just missed against this group last week racing gamely. The six-year-old pacer will likely offer a much better price this week. (5) ALLAMERICAN SOLO veteran pacer is always in the mix late for a piece; use underneath.
Race 9 – FM NW2/10000 Lifetime - **$30K GTD PICK-4 POOL**
(3) RUE HANOVER filly has room to improve after breaking her maiden first start out for new connections. (5) BELLADONNA HANOVER has a good record of hitting the board and finds a weak field full of question marks. (1) SKYHIGH AMBITION has room to improve second start back off the long layoff. (10) RED HOT PACKERETTE mare might have been the horse to beat with a better post.
Race 10 – NW2/10000 Lifetime/9000 Claimer
(10) NET TEN MONEY finds a soft spot to gain some confidence. The 3-year-old owns a win against better on the year. (3) ONE R TWO has shown good improvement in recent; threat. (5) KANOSKI homebred pacer fits in with this group and shows gate speed. (6) THE BLAKER adds second-time Lasix for top connections but probably needs a start having been off almost a year.
Race 11 – FM NW3/15000 Lifetime/10000 Claimer
(5) DUNE DAME pacing mare has been super in recent; fires early. (9) SAND AND ROCKS the effort two back would put the filly very close. (8) FLYING SHEKEL has flashed ability and adds second-time Lasix. (2) ROBERTS NEW LIFE could hit the ticket at a price on the bottom of your tickets.
Race 12- NW3/20000 Lifetime
(3) MYSTICAL PETER finds a weak field full of question marks picking up the top driver. (8) LIL GATOR has hit the board in six of seven starts. (4) LETSGOFORITALL had nothing in the tank last week burning cash at this level. The 3-year-old adds second-time Lasix and shows decent miles against tougher. (6) SUNBURST GLIDE finally stayed flat in the qualifier last week; use underneath.
