FIRST: PACE, CLMG $4,000, PURSE $1,800:
PN HORSE, DRIVER ODDS LAST 3
1 L-La Cabana, Warren 3-1 3 *1 *6
3 L-Grandioseurofightr, Carpenter 4-1 1 2 1
7 L-King’s Lightning, L. Miller 7-2 *1 *7 *1
2 L-Go Tuffy, De Long 9-2 6 5 2
6 L-Mattea J, Oosting 6-1 2 4 6
8 L-Marty Marty Marty, M. Miller 8-1 *2 *3 4
4 L-El Dexter, Seekman 12-1 6 2 7
5 L+Ice Express, Longo 12-1 *1 1 *3
LA CABANA had a game first up effort. Maybe with the pole he can do the parking out. GRANDIOSEUROFIGHTR is a sharp veteran with speed to get to the top or maybe seek another winning pocket trip. KING’S LIGHTNING has powered past last four times at this class and just might do it again.
SECOND: PACE, COND, NW 3 OR 4 RACES, F & M, PURSE $3,700:
7 +Dawn’s Mist, Chupp 2-1 *4 *1 8
3 L-Lets Go To Cancun, De Long 5-2 2 5 2
1 L-Royal Red Ivory, L. Miller 4-1 3 2 3
5 L+Yabbit, Warren 9-2 1 3 2
6 L-Alycole, Leonard 8-1 5 3 1
4 L-Runway Project, Garrels 12-1 4 3 7
2 L-Marytakesthestage, M. Miller 12-1 6 7 1
DAWN’S MIST at her best on this track and she may clear to the top this time and prove best. LETS GO TO CANJUN was stuck inside and did finish well. She’ll leave at times. ROYAL RED IVORY has gate speed to seek and maybe get another two-hole journey.
THIRD: PACE, COND/CLMG $8,000, NW 4 OR 5 RACES, PURSE $2,300:
4 L-Mr Do Well, Oosting 2-1 6 5 2
2 !Arizona Gabe, De Long 7-2 3 6 3
6 L!Best Brand, Warren 4-1 6 3 4
3 L-Jimmycrackedcorn, Chupp 6-1 8 1 4
8 L!Twitterpated, Hiteman 6-1 2 6 4
7 L-River Of Faith, Rath 8-1 6 9 9
1 L-Cardinal Bliss, Leonard 15-1 9 8 3
5 L!Fox Valley See Ya, L. Miller 15-1 5 4 2
MR DO WELL hasn’t had the lead in his recent losses. He was winning at this class when he did in July. ARIZONA GABE back from Minnesota and looks well placed here and might rally in time. BEST BRAND gave way after a tough trip. Dropper is a threat with a less demanding journey.
FOURTH: PACE, CLMG $4,000, F & M, PURSE $1,900:
6 L-Audreys Queen, Rath 3-1 1 1 2
9 !Shark Suzie Sushi, De Long 7-2 6 5 *1
3 L+Easter Icon, Chupp 9-2 3 2 1
1 L-Bella Jo, De. Magee 4-1 *3 2 7
8 L!Fiber Optic Speed, M. Miller 6-1 6 1 *3
2 +Jenkate, R. Warren 8-1 1 5 2
5 L-Lady Ann Spur, Leonard 15-1 4 5 9
4 L+Andi Rose, Longo 15-1 6 4 *6
7 L-Mac’s Emily Flash, Allums 20-1 7 4 1
AUDREYS QUEEN comes off a pair of convincing victories and may rush past this similar field. SHARP SUZIE SUSHI picked-up some wins in Minnesota and her last came with De Long. Mare is a threat here. EASTER ICON reunited with Chupp who has done well with her. Veteran mare can leave.
FIFTH: PACE, CLMG $4,000, PURSE $1,800:
7 L!M M West, Warren 5-2 2 5 2
1 Carolina Backer, Carpenter 7-2 3 2 5
4 L-Mulcay N, Hiteman 4-1 4 3 5
6 L-Sports Scooter, Saporito 6-1 4 1 1
2 L-Fox Valley Target, Oosting 6-1 5 3 7
3 L!Sensational BB, Seekman 8-1 5 3 4
8 L-Onemagicalmoment, Leonard 12-1 7 1 *3
5 !Izzy Ever Quick, Chupp 15-1 7 4 5
M M WEST racing better lately and another early move may pay off with season win No. 10. CAROLINA BECKER has strung together a series of good tries and he’s in line for another up close journey. MULCAY has been the victim of some tough trips. Import is a danger if things can more his way this time.
SIXTH: PACE, CLMG $6,000, PURSE $2,500:
3 L!Madley Mac, Oosting 3-1 4 6 1
9 L-Automotion, Rath 7-2 1 3 1
5 L!Farragut, De. Magee 9-2 4 1 6
6 L-Place of Destiny, Carpenter 5-1 2 3 7
2 L-Joanies Irish Luck, De Long 6-1 3 5 2
4 L+Khadcam, M. Miller 8-1 1 5 2
1 L+Jurassic Hanover, Brown 12-1 9 4 6
8 L-R E Fare-Well, Smolin 15-1 8 6 1
7 L-PJ’s Rustler, L. Miller 20-1 4 8 4
MADLEY MAC made it look easy the last time he raced at this class and could power past this field as well. AUTOMOTION continues to perform well and often goes off at inviting odds. Consider. FARRAGUT looks well placed for his local debut. He did show gate speed at times in Minnesota.
SEVENTH: PACE, COND, NW $5,000 LAST 5, F & M, PURSE $4,200:
6 Stylish Soiree, De Long 7-2 7 1 *1
5 Let’s Get Serious, Oosting 3-1 *1 *6 7
2 L-Six Pack Annie, Rath 6-1 3 1 6
1 L-Park Place Grace, Chupp 4-1 4 2 2
3 L-Valentine Hotspur, Seekman 9-2 2 2 4
4 L+Dixie Darlin, Warren 8-1 2 2 3
8 L+No Limit, M. Miller 12-1 1 6 5
7 L-Sporty Babe, Leonard 12-1 5 5 *1
STYLISH SOIREE got hung out try to get a spot near the font. Filly could be there tonight. LET’S GET SERIOUS’ last three triumphs have all come on the front-end with Oosting and could be battling the above for control. SIX PACK ANNIE got out too late. Maybe she’ll arrive on time at a fair price tonight.
EIGHTH: PACE, COND, NW $2,000 LAST 5, PURSE $3,200:
5 L!Bryn Tin Tin, De. Magee 3-1 6 4 5
1 L!Elkhorn Damien, Oosting 5-2 4 5 7
3 L+Larry’s Place, Warren 4-1 2 7 7
6 L-Little More Ram, Jones 5-1 4 1 1
4 +Oneandonly Z Tam, Leonard 8-1 6 *4 *2
2 L-Chai Tea, De Long 12-1 4 6 2
9 L-Sammobrand Willow, M. Miller 15-1 4 5 3
7 L-Real DDesirable, M. Miller 15-1 5 2 5
8 Sixxpak, Leonard 25-1 6 6 5
BRYN TIN TIN drops into a winnable spot and is reunited with Dean who has had past success with the gelding. ELKHORN DAMIEN also a major threat with the drop and the pole position for his new driver. He was winning at this class earlier. LARRY’S PLACE looks capable with one of his better efforts.
NINTH: PACE, COND, NW $5,000 LAST 5, F & M, PURSE $4,200:
1 L+Another Judy, Seekman 3-2 2 *1 6
3 L-Mackenzie’s Power, Carpenter 4-1 7 3 2\
8 L+Temperment, Oosting 5-1 1 3 5
7 L+Banjoe Hotspur, Warren 6-1 *3 *1 1
6 L-Kickapoo Cher, Leonard 8-1 5 *5 2
5 L-Tamarac Sassy, M. Miller 8-1 8 3 *3
2 L-Cam Sunday, Smolin 12-1 6 4 3
4 L+Passion Starlet, Chupp 15-1 1 6 8
ANOTHER JUDY should relish this huge post change and chalk up another win on her favorite oval. MACKENZIE’S POWER was the first to go three-wide in a trio of unsuccessful efforts. Moves inside tonight. TEMPERMENT steps up and moves outside and that’s not a good combination on this track but she’s still a possibility.
TENTH: PACE, COND, NW $2,000 LAST 5, PURSE $3,100:
7 L!Sign the Prenup, T. Warren 5-2 6 7 6
4 L!Winslow Gambler, R. Warren 7-2 6 9 2
9 L-American Interlude, Hostetler 6-1 5 5 3
5 L-Innovation, Saporito 6-1 3 3 6
3 Ace Le Ru, De Long 8-1 7 2 3
6 Curb Your Z Tam, Oosting 8-1 3 5 7
1 L-Recking Ball, Carpenter 12-1 7 4 3
2 L+Speakin Greek, De. Magee 12-1 7 3 8
8 L+Peaceful Man, Leonard 12-1 1 4 5
SIGN THE PRENUP can be rugged at Maywood when he’s in command. Dropper may be asked to try and get here. WINSLOW GAMBLER in tougher out east. No stranger to this track and probably needed those last two starts. AMERICAN INTERLUDE was stuck inside before finishing well. A price shot to consider.
ELEVENTH: PACE, COND, NW $4,500 LAST 5, PURSE $4,200:
1 !Perrito Caliente, Seekman 2-1 2 *7 4
1a !Rocknroll Fever, De Long 2-1 3 4 3
2 L-Spiritual King N, Carpenter 4-1 3 1 2
7 +At Max Speed, Warren 3-1 1 5 1
6 L!Judson Director, Oosting 9-2 4 1 1
3 L-Dade Hall, M. Miller 6-1 2 *1 4
4 L-Daretodogreathings, Leonard 12-1 9 7 5
5 L+NJ’s Super Charger, M. Miller 12-1 *4 3 6
PERRITO CALIENTE and ROCKNROLL FEVER a solid entry. Both drop out of a Grand Circuit stake and look well placed here. SPIRITUAL KING found the fractions too brisk. He could get a quick early lead and maybe have enough left to not be collared tonight. AT MAX SPEED won his last pair at Maywood and may leave with eight-hole.
TWELFTH: PACE, COND/CLMG $8,000, NW 6, PURSE $2,500:
1 L-Dov Bears Dream, Oosting 5-2 *1 9 *1
5 L-One Chaser, De Long 3-1 *1 *1 *1
9 L-Bauer’s Z Tam, Leonard 9-2 *3 4 *3
7 L+Chester Square, Carpenter 6-1 1 3 5
2 L-Gencor’s Ztam, Hiteman 6-1 1 2 3
8 +Fox Valley Suave, Warren 6-1 1 3 5
4 True Entry, Smolin 12-1 7 6 1
6 L-Pembroke Blast, Seekman 20-1 3 5 2
3 L-Astro Hershey, M. Miller 25-1 6 7 *4
DOV BEARS DREAM often a winner in conditioned/claimers and he’s in a good spot to nail down another. ONE CHASER may be too sharp for this field. He’s been winning with authority. BAUER’S Z TAM couldn’t get out in time. Gelding is a threat to mow down the speed.
THIRTEENTH: PACE, COND/CLMG $8,000, NW 3, PURSE $2,100:
6 Planned Attack, Hiteman 3-1 9 1 *5
1 +Lazy Lizard, Garrels 7-2 9 2 3
3 L+Totingham Hotspur, M. Miller 4-1 3 6 1
8 !Martini Shaker, R. Warren 9-2 8 6 4
7 L!Master Jeeves, De Long 6-1 6 5 3
5 L+Make It Work, Carpenter 8-1 6 5 6
2 L-Captain Hogg, De. Magee 12-1 1 6 8
4 L-Penny Ante, Warren 12-1 3 5 9
PLANNED ATTACK did race on this track a couple of times earlier and this field looks easier than he’s been facing at Balmoral. LAZY LIZARD stuck inside and too far back. This significant post shift can remedy that from reoccurring. TOTINGHAM HOTSPUR sheds eight-hole and looks like a possibility tonight.
FOURTEENTH: PACE, CLMG $4,000, PURSE $1,800:
1 LSeemingly Z Tam, Oosting 9-5 *2 *3 2
5 L-Lee Ave, Leonard 4-1 5 1 5
2 L!Keither, Seekman 5-1 6 *1 3
8 L-Topville Dynamite, Warren 6-1 2 2 6
7 L-Darn Skippie, M. Miller 6-1 *1 7 3
6 Miller Twelvepack, Chupp 8-1 4 3 10
3 L-Mickeyzlildude, L. Miller 12-1 7 8 7
4 Blended Just Right, De. Magee 15-1 8 1 1
SEEMINGLY Z TAM cut a fast pace before giving in late in the lane. He could have an easier time in command tonight. LEE AVE hurt by eight-hole and should be in better position here to maybe surge past in time. KEITHER drops and moves inside where he can’t be discounted tonight.
