Jeremey’s $1 Pick Four Play:
4 / 2,4,5,6,9 / 6 / 1,4,5,9 = $20
Best Bet: STRYKER (8th)
Spot Play: SARKIN HANOVER (3rd)
Race 1
(9) MUSICAL ROMANCE faces a slightly weaker bunch and should be in line for a decent trip. (1) KAPTAIN JON BOY has yet to win in thirteen career efforts but has been knocking on the door. (2) BLUE JACKET LUKE if the 3-year-old stays trotting he's the horse to beat.
Race 2
(1) DOUBLESHOTOFCROWN gets the best post and an upgrade in the bike. (3) GOOD ROBERTA filly scored a victory at this level wire to wire last week; threat. (7) STRONG PLAYIN KING gelding is more than capable if the kinks are worked out.
Race 3
(3) SARKIN HANOVER should be primed for a better effort third start back off a layoff. (4) CALLIT AS U SEEIT filly hits the board a lot when she stays trotting. (5) NEELY DUNN SUPER lightly raced 3-year-old had some good late trot on the end of his mile last week; threat.
Race 4
(8) FLYING SOUTH has been racing gamely and finds a field full of question marks. The pacer needs some racing luck with the tough post but could be up to the task with a decent setup. (5) UNCLE DONNIE owns a win at this level and gets a post edge on his main rivals. (7) NINETYNINE has just been racing evenly but will offer a big price in against a suspect bunch.
Race 5
(4) DREAMANOTHERDREAM will look to drop and pop down in class. (1) TABULATOR is 0 for 35 on the year but just missed when last seen at this level with a good post. (3) LA'SENT can hit the board with a smooth trip but is probably best used underneath.
Race 6
(2) SENATOR SAM despite tiring badly last out the trotter has been racing much better with a different driver. (1) FORT COMMANDER just missed last week against weaker. The 5-year-old bumps up in class but could be in line for an easier trip. (6) SPIES AN LIES is capable against this bunch with a good setup.
Race 7
(6) BOOTYSHAKERBAKER never had a chance last week but should find this spot easier. (1) PRINTSONTHEBEACH had some pace last week but might have been choked a bit sitting in a hole. The pacer gets the best post with a big driver change. (2) Q COBRA JET lightly raced pacer is one of few in the race with some upside; threat.
Race 8
(4) STRYKER was an easy winner at this level a few days ago. (1) GALLOWS POLE drops down to the bottom level with the best post. (3) SIR BARTON has just been racing evenly but finds a weak and inconsistent field.
Race 9
(2) WILDATTHEBEACH mare has some positives going for her including post relief and dropping down in class. (5) HOPEFUL TRUST has been competitive against tougher but has had a hard time sealing the deal. (6) MCMERRY AGAIN had some late pace last out but needs more.
Race 10
(6) GRANDKIDS ATTACK will win for fun again with anything similar to his last dominating effort. (1) NATHAN should be closer turning for home but would need a lot of racing luck to upset the favorite. (9) FLYING METRO owns wins against better on the year but has just been racing evenly; use underneath.
Race 11
(5) CAMMILICIOUS never had a chance last week against a horse who broke his lifetime mark by almost three full seconds. The pacer has room to improve and could get an easy early lead. (1) SHAGUAR gets sent out for proven connections with the best post. (4) SOUTHSIDE CHRIS lightly raced pacer will look to make it two straight against similar; threat.
Race 12
(2) WATCHA GOT ABBY filly comes off a career effort and might have gained some confidence in a weak field. (1) CEANA'S STAR looks to be in line for a great trip with the top driver. (3) PONDA BLITZ is capable with a good setup; threat.
Race 13
(2) RAIDERS BOY picks up a huge driver change against slightly weaker. (1) CRAIG MICHAEL has just been racing evenly but gets the best post; threat. (4) TERROR OF THETRACK jumps up with big efforts from time to time but is probably best used underneath.
Race 14
(9) BADLANDS ROSE owns a win at this level on the year and just needs a smooth trip for a piece. (5) OLA HANOVER will be much closer turning for home this week and will offer another big price. (2) HOT MANDY looks to offer low value and has had trouble staying pacing; use caution.
Race 15
(9) DANNYS ATTHEDANCE makes his third start for the top barn against a suspect bunch. (1) BRYNDAN'S TOY would be the horse to beat with a different pilot; threat. (6) FOREVER GOOD is one of few in the race that owns a decent burst of speed.
