A very tough card to 'cap. I am taking some chances and may not be successful-- not a lot of confidence. Happy Passover for those to whom it applies-- I am actually planning to make gefilte fish from scratch over the weekend and will be at mom and dad's for Seder Monday night, so Ayers will be doing the picks. Good Luck!
Race 1: 1 Artful Surprise- Closed moderately in local debut & should be better from rail in 3rd career start; 2 Rubberband Man- Draws well, usually does some work, but 0-30 is hard to ignore; 5 Special Favor- Must sustain work + gets 1st time Charlino with Stahl choosing the #1
Race 2: 4 Fancy Looker- Drops below the level of last win and faces far easier; 2 Rose Run Freddie- Beat similar six back; 1 Chip Chip Tabu- Rail helps, but Robin chose off to drive #4.
Race 3: 5 Jet Express- Overmatched with tag, but beat better last time in conditions; 1 Varitek- The rail & Aaron, because Wyatt chose off; 4 Whitesand Joker- Class dropper can contend.
Race 4: 1 Dalcroft Toby- Figures well from the rail; 9 Chupp Don- In the flow behind my top pick? 3 Yana Returns- Doesn’t do a lot, but always hangs around; 2 Big Head Hundreds- Good effort in 1st back off a month layoff.
Race 5: 3 Web Charger- May break through for McKirgans off barn change; 2 Victory Princess- Doing work, but not as sharp as early ‘09; 1 Anastasia Wildfire- Improving without hopples.
Race 6: 2 Tropicante- 3 wins in last 5 at this level; 1 Master Buckin Uhl- Improving in line to Ryan Stahl; 3 Valentino’s Peace- Gets Merriman which ain’t a bad thing.
Race 7: 9 Happytime- Ultra-consistent, but hasn’t won in a couple months; 7 Up Front Hanover- Can classy oldster can overcome the draw? 1 Red Cloud Rising N- Recent Melloy acquisition may go forward from the rail; 4 Slide Lock- Consistent and gets Stahl with Dan. C choosing #9.
Race 8: 1 Ray J- Just a hunch, I have no feel for this race at all; 9 Redzilla- Positive form cycle makes him a factor; 2 Touch Of Nay- Can defend his post and move evenly for a piece of this.
Race 9: 6 Kzul Sx Bluegrass- Aaron chose over #3 and #1, my other picks; 1 Constantinoble - 4th different driver in last four starts, rail makes him a player; 3 Free For Life- May be Koching.
Race 10: 2 Show Me Big Slick- Massive class relief in third seasonal start; 4 Catnapper- Has some back class, but must sustain his work; 5 Bodandy Andy- Has been much better with Lasix; 7 Caramel Dumpling- Form has leveled after several good starts to start the year.
Race 11: 5 Miss Katie Lane- Has impressed & might handle the jump up; 4 Come Along Fred- Gets Aaron again & that makes him a player; 3 Danny-o- Back at a level he fits well.
Race 12: 8 Go Bogart- Continues a run of horrid posts, but gets Aaron in the bike; 1 Ohio Star- Will be forward, but for how long? 2 Inquisitive Me- Has been three times 1st or 2nd in last six.
Race 13: 4 Big Town Event- Only time he showed any work was with Ryan & someone has to win; 1 Pirate Image- Rail helps, has done work, but must sustain it; 3 Allamerican Amigo – Good driver/trainer combo and draws well; 5 Arden’s Trump N- A guess.
