Friday's Frank Handicapping Discussion

The no-Aaron Merriman era begins tonight and we will all need to adjust our handicapping...value chances should increase. I am on the air tonight and should be in the winners circle. Stop by and shoot the breeze. Good luck.

Race 1: 4 Viking Mia- Gets class relief & has had her best success with Sugg; 1 Super Jenny- Likely fave from the rail, but is 0-4-2k10; 3 Ginny Ann Tonik- Gets Stahl off some decent efforts.

Race 2: 2 Winjammer- 1st time starter could be anything & gets a relatively soft bunch; 4 Advowson- Not a bad qualifier, but tired; 8 Trton Bobby Shafto- 3rd back and doing some work.

Race 3: 6 My D Shammy- A maiden, but made nearly $20K in 8 2009 starts; 9 Norma’s Jewel- Has done everything but win; 2 Lima Do N It- May be more confident 2nd time with hopples.

Race 4: 9 Our Christie Lee N- Raced well despite an awful trip in local debut; 2 My Sweet Lorelei- Drops to level of last win and gets Charlino; 7 Spirited Sammi- Needed that first local start and fits here; 1 Friendly Kathy- Can stalk for a minor piece of this one.

Race 5: 2 Peggy Spur- Draws well and just needs to finish a bit better; 4 Fiesty Kindof Luv- Monster mile with Harris last start; 5 Krissy K- Will be stung early, but should get the front.

Race 6: 1 J-ju-jan- Not thrilled, but Dan chose this winless one over my initial pick; 5 All About Jenny- Has been doomed by recent draws; 9 Chocolate Fudge- Follows along for a piece of it.

Race 7: 3 Girly Toys- No chance from the snowman moving up and this group is soft; 5 Quite A Shark- Moves up but has been consistently doing work; 4 Vale Breeze- Gets Charlino and needs to leave to stay interested; 1 Scooters Clan- Inconsistent, but may get rolling from the rail.

Race 8: 3 Jenabell- Most consistent of these and has the win two back; 2 On The Money- Figures, but must finish a bit stronger; 9 Golden Fizz- Has been solid at this level, 2nd tier hurts.

Race 9: 4 Tsm Queen B T- Wyatt’s choice over #7 seems to have the best resume; 2 Count On Kate- Can be good with this draw, Wollam trotters are always solid; 7 Willzilla- If he trots.

Race 10: 3 Silvers Luck- Starts a new win streak tonight in this mixed group; 8 Envy- Snowman hurts, but connections really like this mare; 5 Bunnysexpresslane- Has had success here before, somewhat fresh; 1 Stox Up Bluegrass- Consistent and should be a player from the rail.

Race 11: 2 Shadowcross Arose- Gets my call due to the change to Stahl; 1 Happy Occasion- Will be forward early and that makes her a contender; 9 Mommas Gone Cruizin- One of three they rewrote the class for (The 3 and the 6 appear to be the others)

Race 12: 2 Shelbys Muneymaker- Sharp form and her best draw in two months; 6 Misster Wilker- Nice youngster may need a local start; 5 Ill Sting The Best- No chance from the snowman last time, should be able to go with these, though.

Race 13: 3 Belladonna Cam- May be a “beautiful woman,” or at least a bella cavalla with a win against these; 7 Swift Samantha- Gets Charlino & can compete; 4 Radiant Star- Inconsistent

Race 14: 1 Cruizin At Dawn- Life mark two back and doing the best racing of her career; 2 Dynastar- Gets class relief and a good draw, the class; 6 back Home Again- A bit above her best level, but I have hunch she will be good here; 8 Shadyplace- Gets Stahl and an awful draw.
