Til Tuesday (Feb 16)

Time to Mann up with these picks (obscure rock and roll reference, gang). I am on the air so listen carefully-- I reserve the right to change my mind.

Race 1: 3 Tori’s Angel- Ehrhardt to Harris worked with Dublin Dollars, let’s try again, but Tori won’t pay $27+; 4 Genesis Victory- Q was a lot better with the straps, longshot hope; 1 Superstripe- Better from the rail with her early speed.

Race 2: 4 Jan Jet- Another chance after a rather soft effort; 3 I’ve Had Better- Consistent and the weather scratch means little; 7 C And C Hoorah- Getting a bit better in the last couple starts.

Race 3: 6 Magistrate- Bred to be a good one and showed good work in local debut; 8 Up Front Ridge- Tons of ability, class was opened for him and the 7, but the break and the snowman worry me; 7 Web Charger- Class opened up, but assigned outside.

Race 4: 2 Zim And Torre- Drops to the level of a good effort six back, a chance; 7 Kool Kelley- Class dropper must overcome a bad draw; 4 Slick-as-sleet- Best post draw in a month, perhaps; 1Belladonna Cam- Rail always helps in this class, as we saw last start.

Race 5: 3 Johnnyisajohnny- Shows some decent efforts and this is not the strongest group; 4 Canaco Kubota- Inconsistent, but contends with his best; 1 Isa Devil- Should get a good trip.

Race 6: 5 Cee Cee Comer- Roy gets all the cash & sells her to a good trotting barn; 2 Ritzy Rip- Racing exceptionally well & will be favored; 1 Bette Lavec- Aggressive trip off the break last time.

Race 7: 9 Gordie How- Massive class relief, but 2nd tier is an issue to me; 4 Lashas Last- Speedster drops to the bottom and may roll with Page; 2 Robin Dontget- Robin Doesget a better draw and is a factor; 5 Pure Fantasy- Did some good work dropping to this level last start.

Race 8: 2 All Over Now- Has been outstanding over the Route 8 Oval; 1 French Worker- Wired these in last, again? 5 Molly Red- Maybe she will sustain her work with the trainer in the bike.

Race 9: 1 Sandblast- Third back, gets Aaron, just missed two back; 3 Tropicante- Looks for three in a row without Charlino; 4 Interior Light- Seems like he is always on the ticket.

Race 10: 2 Gina Marie P- Improving with every start for the Wall of Famer; 4 Rich Tom Cat- 2nd best to Gina yet again, I fear; 7 Doowrah’s Trifold- Like the horse, not the post; 3 Fueled N Waiting- Gets Swartz off an improved effort.

Race 11: 3 Ata Ata- Has faced far better and is knocking on the door; 2 Slayer Of Dragons- Ridiculous mile in last, Can Marts get #997? 4 Yana Returns- Consistent, but must finish strong.

Race 12: 4 Gelika Ann- Explosive win Friday and gets the Eligible at Time of Entry call; 3 Karrydale Charm- Another ETE angle; 5 Blueridge Empress- Big kick, but doesn’t always fire.

Race 13: 3 Princessoftheball- Another monster, ETE angle for Bartley/Page; 5 Spirit Within- Major player in her last two starts, should be again; 9 Ursula K- Drops to the level of her last win; 1 Cassie’s Choice- Was better with the drop last time and gets a rail, will be forward early.
