Hawthorne Harness: Sunday 9/9 Analysis
Best Bet (13 - 31 / $56.80): SHERIFF COFFEY (12th)
Spot Play: ISLAND CAMPAIGN (10th)
Race 9 - $30,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Race 1
(5) DON'T BE CHEEKY shows good efforts against better on the year. (4) KRISPY K has a good record of hitting the board; threat. (2) FOX VALLEY STRPWR should be in a good spot turning for home against a very weak and inconsistent field.
Race 2
(8) MOCKING ROBIN has dominated this bunch most of the year. (1) MODEL well bred filly draws the best post and should be in line for another great trip up close. (6) DUNE ON TIME needs a fast pace to close into but can pick up the pieces in the right scenario.
Race 3
In a tough race to gauge, (4) FREDDIE DA FOX has been consistent most of the year and owns good gate speed. (6) SKILLFUL QUACKER filly has flashed good ability and just needs a trouble-free trip for a chance. (7) FINS UP has yet to win in eighteen starts but did trot a good mile two back.
Race 4
(1) MYKONOS picks back up the top driver starting with the best post. (3) YOUGOTITFIGUREDOUT has paced a huge mile last week against better; big chance. (2) BEACH SHOOTINGSTAR is probably best used underneath against a fast field of inconsistent pacers.
Race 5
(7) MY KIND OF TERROR had some sneaky late pace last week against slightly better. (4) FOX VALLEY MIRANDA picks up a huge driver change but looks to offer low value; use caution. (2) JUSTALITTLEPARTY pacing mare should be closer turning for home this week.
Race 6
(6) PICKY PICKY VALOR four-year-old gelding wasn't at his best last start but still gutted out a tough win. (5) BANKER VOLO has not finished worse than second in eight straight starts. (1) ALL ABOUT COWBOYS just missed at a big price last week; threat.
Race 7
(4) SPIRIT O'MAR is very inconsistent from week to week, however a good effort puts him in the mix. (6) CHIP'S FOR ALL is the morning line favorite and has been competitive at this level but needs a good setup. (1) SUNNY SASHA filly is capable of trotting a good mile if she minds her manners.
Race 8
(1) TELL MARCIA drew off impressively last week against this same bunch. (2) NEDDY NUMBER THREE has hit the board in four of five starts. (3) PLEASURES CHIP keeps the top driver in a weak and inconsistent field.
Race 9
(3) SEAFARER impeccably bred pacer takes a huge drop down against weaker. (7) CUZ IM ROCKIN might be one of few threats in the race to the top choice. (1) THUNDER DOME 2-year-old gelding has lots of room to improve in his second career start.
Race 10
(5) ISLAND CAMPAIGN owns wins against better on the year; threat. (8) FABULOUS FIVE has just been racing evenly but faces much easier shipping in from Hoosier. (1) SHOOTING COOL has been improved in three straight.
Race 11
(7) ILLINIMIGHT looks to be on the right track with two straight solid efforts. (8) SHADOW COPY filly is very inconsistent from week to week. The 3-year-old does own some ability when she decides to trot. (4) CRUZEN CASSI has regressed since some good efforts early in the season but finds a very weak bunch.
Race 12
(7) SHERIFF COFFEY a good effort beats this bunch at a price. (2) RINGO HOTSPUR looks capable but has made breaks in two of three. (1) DANCE TO THE WIRE lightly raced 2-year-old has lots of upside and starts from the best post.
