Monday musings

Some very interesting driver changes and choices on this card. I am on the air, so listen closely. Good luck! -Giss-

Race 1: 9 Fox Avenue Cy- Well-connected & good Q in a race without a standout pick; 3 Cynamon Chip Chip- Some maturity now, at 4? 6 Trotn Bobby Shafto- Q’d well sans Lasix.

Race 2: 4 The Hef- Raced well in debut for Henry and may improve; 2 Plamach- A player with the good post; 9 Blueridge Western- Faces softer, but Hoosier horses often need a local start

Race 3: 4 Valantine De Vie- Left from snowman & trotted evenly, class drop now; 1 Miracle Moose- Has tactical speed & may be OK; 7 Rose Run Freddie- Fresh set of hands w/Sugg

Race 4: 7 Magic Dart- Lukewarm call in a group that is unproven at this level; 1 Hard Time Gone- Races well for J.D., gets rail and class relief; 6 Fake Embrace A- Tough trip dropping in here, should be better tonight; 2 Storm Buster- On super with a ground-saving trip for Cassidy.

Race 5: 2 Conductors Timeout- Always does work, trip fried him last week; 9 Hawaiian Music Man- Always hangs around & now Andy is doing it himself; 1 Fortune King- Contends from rail.

Race 6: 3 Goin Home Ray- Cannot win getting away 7th or 8th; 5 Rich Man Poor Man- Racing well but wins about as often as the Indians; 1 Allamerican Amigo- Friendly post draw helps him.

Race 7: 9 Left’em Standing- Beat these with two moves in last, 1st time Aaron; 4 Jus’ Another Fool- Trip didn’t work out, but don’t dismiss; 2 Next Idol- Will the announcer call this one Crystal Bowersox? 5 Crusinfullthrottle- Based on his name, the fuel injectors must be partially clogged.

Race 8: 5 Trytopass Sam- Aaron’s choice has been solid since his 4/22 qualifier; 4 Try To Relax- Impressed in his local debut, but faces better in this one; 2 The Perfect Man- Charlino chose the 4, so I did too.

Race 9: 2 Mr Shady- Wins by 100 if he stays flat, but what a big “if!” 9 Johnnyisajohnny- Class dropper would be poised to pick up the pieces; 7 Travolta- Impressed in his local debut,

Race 10: 1 Sky Strikes- Beat these in last with a patient trip & Aaron chose him again; 9 Exceptional Toy- Gets Stahl & class relief; 7 Oaks Enforcer- Must do better from another bad post draw to contend; 5 Electric Wizard- Keeps hanging around & may be sitting on a big mile.

Race 11: 2 Over Spurred- Solid qualifier & can win at first asking; 4 Wishiwasarichgirl- Trainer/ owner/driver calls on Charlino here; 7 Jesse Fect- Third back and racing well for a good trot man.

Race 12: 7 Dragon Fires K- Dominated these in last, his first with Charlino; 9 Michello- Form is leveling, she must sustain her work, here is one owner/driver you don’t mind; 4 Gorgeous Forever- Good effort in local debut after a sluggish start.

Race 13: 1 Spit Happens- Still looking for his best level, but contends with this post; 5 Lotsa Help- Has beaten these the last two times he faced them; 8 Rose Run Ichabod- Snowman’s the only question.

Race 14: 4 Prepare To Attack- Charlino chose this one over the 5-2 ML choice; 3 Romance’s Thunder- Back where he has had his best success and draws well; 1 Dragon Seeker- May be better off of Lasix, Q was solid; 9 Lightiscape- Can follow the rail horse for a minor piece.
