4,5 / 1,2,3,5,8,9 / 4 / 5,6,9 = $36
Best Bet: LADY EDITH (3rd)
Spot Play: VICK VALOR (4th)
Race 1
(4) SUPER LILY has dominated on the fair circuit and just needs a trouble-free trip from the provisional driver. (6) KENTUCKY HALL filly showed a good burst of speed last week and will offer value. (5) KAYLA JADE hits the board a lot but is best used underneath.
Race 2
(4) NORTHERN ANGLE 2-year-old gelding has finally found himself in his last two. If the pacer can get over the small track he will be tough to beat. (2) MOON IS ALL AGLOW qualified nicely before the scratch. The 3-year-old makes his career debut and looks to have some potential. (5) OAKS CROWN just missed at this level last week racing gamely.
Race 3
(1) LADY EDITH has beaten the morning line favorite this year and looks to offer the better price. (4) EVANORA filly gets sent out for one of the top barns in the country picking up the top driver. (2) CHINA SIS filly has hit the board in eight of ten.
Race 4
In a wide open race, (4) VICK VALOR is one of the faster trotters in the race when he minds his manners. (2) HELLO CARLO has burned cash lots of times as the favorite this year; use caution. (7) WASHINGTONIAN has just been racing evenly but can hit the ticket with a good setup.
Race 5
(2) MADDIE DOOWOP pacer will try and shake loose late for the upset. The 4-year-old mare owns a win against better and might be overlooked. (5) WEDNESDAYS WHIM owns only one win on the year but did close decent ground late last out. (7) KATIE AND J takes a significant drop in class; threat.
Race 6
(1) MISS PANTHERS benefits from the best post down in class. (2) MISS LULU BELL mare should be in a close striking spot late. (3) MEADOWVIEW ARTY eight-year-old is also dropping making his second start for new connections.
Race 7
(6) HEZA MERLIN lightly raced 3-year-old made a break last out but has flashed ability. (1) FOUNDONABEACH looks to offer low value coming off a miscue. The 5-year-old will need more to hit the top spot. (2) EASTER TREASURE can trot a decent mile when the 2-year-old stays flat.
Race 8
In a field with few contenders, (4) DIVULGE is capable of much better than what he's shown in his last few. (5) BOURBANS BEST has had tough post draws the last few months. This looks like a much easier spot especially with the top driver. (2) NORTHERN ART needs a good setup to challenge for the win.
Race 9
(2) WESTERN WAYNE is one of the better pacers in the race but gets sent out for a low percentage pilot. (1) SILVERHILL DELIGHT gets the best post in a weak and inconsistent field. (5) BRANDED GUN might need a start having been off a few months.
Race 10
(4) MOVIN' N SHAKIN' raced well at this level last out; threat. (2) FOX RIVER MARK always offers low value at this level. The pacer doesn't win often; use caution. (5) LANCASTER PARK comes into the race off a scratch but has made the most money in the field on the year.
Race 11
(9) JUDE HALL will offer a big price and can score for the second time this year with a fast pace to close into. (5) ENEE WEENIE AND ME picks up a huge driver change; short price. (6) UNADORNED HANOVER scored a decisive victory against similar last race.
Race 12
(2) COUNT ON KAMI filly should find this spot much easier with the better post. (3) SELENA qualified nicely but has had breaking issues. (1) A CROWN FOR LINDY owns a recent win at this level and should be in an excellent spot early.
Race 13
(1) PIN STRIPES picks up a huge driver change with the best post. (9) BEANS AND WEENIES appears to have lost a step this year but shows an easy victory at this level last month. (3) LUCPARK doesn't win often but should still be considered a threat.
Race 14
(5) PERSPECTIVE had some sneaky late pace last start against tougher. (9) UNCLED DONNIE went a decent three-quarters last start before tiring late. (2) GOT WHAT IT TAKES is capable of a decent move when timed right.
Race 15
(1) UPTOWN ROMANCE is the only pacer in the field with multiple wins on the year. (3) STYLISH DAPPER has been competitive at this level; threat. (5) THUNDER CHASER is one of the better closers in the race but has yet to win in thirty-one starts on the season.
