Jeremey’s $1 Pick Four Play:
9 with 5,7 with 2,3,5 with 3,9 = $12
Race 1
In a field of first time starters, (7) TWILIGHT TWIST nice looking freshman trotter was solid in the qualifier and will offer a big price from the outside. (4) HAUL N DASH gets a good starting post and will also offer value. (3) STORMN AT DAWN earned a nice win on the fair circuit in his debut.
Race 2
(2) LITTLE BIG RIGS just missed last week at this level. The 3-year-old has lots of room to improve in his third career start. (1) COASTER HANOVER has yet to win in twenty career starts, however the filly gets sent out first start for a new barn. (3) ELI ELI O will look to make it three wins in four starts at this level.
Race 3
(3) J-S FOR JUSTICE has been on a nice roll; short price. (4) TADY'S COUNT well bred 3-year-old makes her first start for new connections. (7) TIMELESS UTAH will offer a big price and is one of the faster trotters in the race.
Race 4
(5) BANGING THE DRUM has just been racing evenly but has room to improve first start in a new barn. (2) DELIGHTFUL BRAEDEN has been pacing faster than most of the field but does get sent out for a low percentage pilot. (1) HASH-TAG CHROME showed slight improvement in the qualifier.
Race 5
(4) KATKIN AND COKE just needs to stay trotting for a big piece. (6) DREAM FIELD might be one of few threats in the race to the top choice. (7) SWAN ON THE BANK gelding is fast enough to compete with this bunch but needs to mind his manners.
Race 6
(1) ONESTRONG MAGARITA nice-looking filly was strong in the qualifier. (3) KINGS IDEAL well bred filly makes her debut against a field full of question marks. (2) JUST SWEET T looks to be in line for a nice trip up close.
Race 7
(6) DETAILER might be ready for a better effort third start back off the long layoff. (9) MOMA JEAN'S CROWN has a history of hitting the ticket at this level. (3) CHINES FOR ALL looks to offer low value and just raced evenly last week; use caution.
Race 8
(9) BOURBON ST HANOVER nine-year-old pacer had road trouble on the fair circuit last out. The gelding will be looking to run up the score on this group. (4) GIUSEPPE MOLLUSCA is fast enough to threaten should the top choice falter. (6) PICK SIX has been very competitive at this level and will offer a big price.
Race 9
(7) ANN-E OAKS should be able to handle this bunch with a good effort. (5) HAPPY GO HANNAH trotting mare is coming along nicely and owns decent closing ability. (2) FULL TROT filly has been very disappointing lacking late stamina; use underneath.
Race 10
(3) WIT AND WISDOM will look to drop and pop down in class. (2) MOST HAPPY DRAGON has room to improve second start off the long layoff. (5) YOLO HANOVER is one of few in the race with a win against better on the year.
Race 11
(3) SNEAKY SAM just missed last week racing gamely. (9) DEW IN THE DESERT beat this same bunch last week from off the pace. (1) SR RADAR hit the ticket last week against similar and now gets the best post.
Race 12
(7) SAND ROYAL BLU gelding is capable of much better than what he shows on paper. (2) ROSE RUN PRINCESS gets a post edge on the top choice; threat. (3) CALLING A VICTORY doesn't win often but is dropping down a notch.
Race 13
(6) LITTLE POINT SABLE got an acclimating start over the track and should find this field softer. (9) MISS PERFECTION scored a really nice victory last week setting a lifetime mark. (10) DRIVING MISS SADIE filly is one of the horses to beat in the race but has to navigate a tricky starting post.
Race 14
(5) PICKWICK was super in the qualifier last week. (4) ONEMORELASTCHANCE was also sharp in the qualifier; threat. (9) ILIKEITREALHOT has just been racing evenly but faces weaker.
Race 15
(2) BLUE SWAN takes a huge drop down in competition. (4) SONG IN MY HEART is inconsistent from week to week but a good effort puts him in the mix. (3) T T TUCKER has been much better in a new barn; threat.
Race 16
(4) I AM TRUTH flashed some ability as a 2-year-old and was better in the qualifier. (9) PINE ROCK lightly raced pacer has some upside and faces a really weak bunch. (7) GASTON 2-year-old faces older but has room to improve in his second career start.
