Tuesday's Northfield selections

May change by TV time, with driver changes or scratches. We will also try to assemble a reasonable Pick Five play, since we have a carryover of abotu $1300.

Race 1: 4 Crazy Again- Break cost win in last; 5 Northern Gab- Good connections and decent Qs; 7 Radiant Star- consistent, but post is a question.

Race 2: 2 Filigreed-In very cheap and draws well; 1 Striking Karat-stuck at this level too long; 8 Pick Me A Rose- one to watch for the future!

Race 3: 1 Stox Up Bluegrass- Eligible at Time of Entry with a win- MUST PLAY; 3 Mya Candy- first try this cheap; 9 Mystical Worker- Typical mare-wildly inconsistent

Race 4: 3 Rc's Up Town Lady- First time Kakaley; 2 Silly N Sassy-races well inside at this level; 9 Britany Babe- very consistent; 4 Back Home Again- Favorable driver change

Race 5: 7 Bytemetoni- Will get a more aggressive trip; 9 Isn't She Precious- racing very well right now; 3 Phoenix Springs- Does good work.

Race 6: 2 Miss Matilda- Draws well for Matt K; 1 Lucinda's Girl- could step up for hot barn; 4 Strandby Marju- gets class relief

Race 7: 1 Nude N Naughty-gets the rail does work, doesn;t always sustain; 5 Cristal Daddy Girl- will be favored; 8 C'mon Wild Wabbit- will need to step up, but could be anything; 2 Shady Attack- Is she healthy?

Race 8: 1 Reel Me Over- Two in a row?; 9 Lonesome Pride-Gets a perfect trip and may go by; 5 She's So Cool-good at this level; not sold on Berger yet.

Race 9: 5 Mystical Blodgett- Wins out of class tonight; 4 Cg's Lady- Will continue to improve; 2 Fox Valley Steffi- keeps hanging around

Race 10: 5 Sharon's Future- juist keeps winning-actually looks relaxed-until she gets to the winners circle; 9 Game Portia- Gets Matt K and and an ETE; 1 Tattler's Rose- the rail will help; 6 Livinintheleftlane- never worse than fourth at this level

Race 11: 1 Eagle See- How could is she? BEST BET; 5 Ashley Cruiser- well worth the $800 J.G. paid in November; 2 Ellen's Jackpot- throw out her last; bets of the rest

Race 12: 7 She's All Country- Gonna lose sometime, but until she does, I am on her, Kakaley's choice; 2 Survivor I Am- Does anybody drive her twice in a row?; 3 Betcha I Attack- Not where she was in '08 at this point, but comin gback to form

Race 13: 2 Secret Treasure N- hasn;t shown much; but faces less. Kakaley is enough for me; 3 Vale Breeze- one of 3 with on-the-board finish in last 6; 4 Alot Of Ideas- better post draw; 1 Belief In Magic- Gets Shetler off hte sick scratch

Now, to the Pick 5. This one looks easy and that is a warning sign. I am going with a small ticket with what I really like, and then a saver that is more inclusive

I am going to play a 13/3/7/12/15 for $2, a $16 investment and am then going to come back with a 1/3/12345689(in case Toni breaks)/124/15, a $48 ticket, so I am going a bit over the $50 commentator ticket rule, but for the chance to hit this for more than a buck, it's worth it.

Good luck- see you on the tube tonight!
