Tuesday

A slightly different look to this Tuesday card as we move from five nights to four nights of live racing. Good luck. Race 1: 1 Komodo Island- Wasn’t “dragon” out of the gate in local return, gate-to-wire; 2 Tiger Iz- Not sustaining work lately, but draws well; 9 Major Pursuit- class drop after two awful posts

Race 2: 2 Nico Mirabel- Consistent and a style that fits this group; 9 Deputy Gabriel- Another consistent stalker, a step or two slower than the top pick, imo; 5 Big Z Class- A decent Driver Q and now gets Aaron; Love the Bert Beachy horses off a layoff/barn change. (Krissy K is scratched due to the claim).

Race 3: 2 Average Hoss- Can lightning strike twice on the Henry to Dan K angle? With a suspect fave, why not; 5 Vienna Jenna- Did work in her qually, unlike a certain 2-1 ML choice; 3 Up Front Denise- Was facing better at Red Mile in fall and drops, but off that prep, I have doubts.

Race 4: 3 Slide Lock- 2nd and 3rd last two at this level for a barn that is warming up; 1 Harmony Oaks Tom- Aaron’s choice over my original top pick, the 4; 4 Astroflight- Moves up off some good performances at the bottom; fresh; 9 Matador Monster- Results in triplicate puts him here.

Race 5: 2 Landm Sweetherat- Moves up but is racing very well right now; 1 Keystone Darnley- Darn, those breaks are annoying, but a player if flat; 7 Spur On Begonia- Has been doing work and may add some value despite her ML.

Race 6: 1 Wyatt- Double class drop and the rail for a speedster is a pretty good 1-2 punch; 6 Grot Your Teeth-Moves up bit is finally learning to carry his speed; 3 Honorable Guy- A decent post in his 3rd start back.

Race 7: 9 Mike’s Heir- A lukewarm call in a lukewarm field of threes; 4 Liltycantbedenied- Back class, but not the same horse he was; 3 Miller Please- Throw out last start- 2nd tier and was never in it; 8 Johnnyisajohnny- Will be flying late for first timer Shetler.

Race 8: 4 Bacon Hill Bandit- Is there anything not to like? 5 Rapid Dialing- Hits the pool for nex connections and should be okay here; 8 Armbro Deck- Super hot connections, post stinks.

Race 9: 4 Thunder Shower- Keeps rolling even though Wyatt chose off; 2 Three Good Fellows- Back at level where he belongs, factor with Matt K.; 5 Bacon Hill Bob- 1st time Lasix helps him.

Race 10: 5 CG’s Lady- Best Bet, until she loses the conditioned tag; 4 The Pan Coulee Dam- nothing bad at this level, just not enough good; 2 Blue My Mind- Room and right to improve; 7 Barratry- A real Christina Slater, he has been his own worst enemy. If flat, contends, big if…..

Race 11: 5 Make Me Proudchico- Faces tougher but has been very consistent; 6 Jtshadow- Moves up off a fast mile; a hunch here; 2 Oneforthe president- Draws better and faces softer.

Race 12: 1 Leach- Drops to the botom and Aaron chooses him; 2 Mr. Ingot- Hasn’t been golden, but does do work; 5 Key To Life- Harris to Kakaley is an angle Frank himself has used lately.

Race 13: 9 Sole Music- Value play in a soft field; 3 Chupp Don- Races well when he draws well; 6 Class Worker- Can compete at this level; 8 Southwind Menlo- Post kills, but this one can roll.
