1,3,4 with 1,4,8 with 1,6,9 with 1 = $27
Race 1
(2) SIMMY adds first-time Lasix down in class with a great starting post. (4) SWEET BEN was an easy winner when last seen at this level. (5) BOOKEM can jump up with a decent effort from time to time; use underneath.
Race 2
(6) TRILLIONAIR gets sent out third start in a new barn off a really nice effort. (3) YOUR RAIDER BOY will look to make it four straight wins against similar; short price. (1) I'M DONE TALKING well bred filly looks to be in line for a nice trip up close.
Race 3
(3) HAUL N DASH shows good efforts against much tougher. (5) DANCE WITHSOMEBODY will be tough to beat with an easy early lead. (7) SAND CASH needs some racing luck from the outside but has shown a decent burst of speed.
Race 4
(8) SOUTHWIND TOSCANO lightly raced colt beat a better bunch last week. (3) FLEXIBLE FILLY four-year-old has yet to win in her career but will offer a monster price. The mare picks up a positive driver change in a field full of question marks. (7) ANASTASIA GEM filly can hit the ticket underneath with a good setup.
Race 5
In a really weak and inconsistent field, (6) A WORLD APART is a 5-year-old gelding making his debut off a nice winning qualifier. (9) MISS BLING had no excuse last week off really easy fractions; command a price. (1) NO HUMBLE JUMBLE will offer a big price starting from the best post.
Race 6
(9) ONEEYEDMOMMA isn't the most consistent from week to week but a good effort puts her in the mix. (1) NOAH COUNT has yet to win on the year but has been close at this level. (3) MARGARITA MAN owns tons of back class and might be able to make an easy lead.
Race 7
(8) FULL OF PRIDE might be the fastest trotter in the race but will need a good spot off the starting gate to threaten. (4) COMMAND THE FIRE owns a win at this level; fires early. (1) ANASTASIA GUNNER made a break last week but is a threat if the gelding stays trotting.
Race 8
In a wide open and evenly matched race, (1) EVERY PLAY COUNTS gets the best post and has been competitive at this level. (3) WESTERN FELLA matched a lifetime mark last week winning impressively. (4) MEGATRON six-year-old stallion has made the most money in the field on the year.
Race 9
(1) CAMART HANOVER gets a big post edge on the other threats in the race. (4) GUN SHOW shows some really good efforts in this barn a few months ago. (8) DEFTONES needs to find a way into the race from the far outside; use caution.
Race 10
(6) T T TUCKER seven-year-old gets sent out for a low percentage pilot but comes into the race sharp. (9) COOTER DUNN is probably the fastest horse in field but needs to work out a smooth trip from the second tier. (1) AWESOMELY AWESOME mare looks to be in line for an excellent trip up close.
Race 11
(1) BORN TO ROCKN ROLL picks up a top driver with the best starting post. (7) CRACKER CAM four-year-old needs a trouble-free trip to threaten. (4) ITSNOONERTIME has just been racing evenly; use underneath.
Race 12
(1) TYMAL BLING well bred mare should be closer turning for home this week against a suspect bunch. (2) REVERAND SPEED looks like the horse to beat on paper but could need a start off a layoff. (4) CAROLINA JACOB hit the ticket last week against better.
Race 13
(2) YOLO HANOVER just missed last week at this level. (1) HIGH AND TIGHT well bred pacer has room to improve third start back off the long layoff. (3) GIUSEPPE MOLLUSCA owns a decent burst of speed when timed right.
Race 14
(3) MIGHTY BREEZE two-year-old pacer will look to make it four of six on the year. (1) CASIMIR QUICHE put in a big effort last week from a tough starting post. (2) ADDRESS THE BALL needed the start over the track last out and should have more to offer.
Race 15
(1) WANDERER takes a significant drop in class with the best post. (5) GIANT SCULPTURE picks up a top driver off a decent effort. (2) OH LADY has just been racing evenly; command a price.
