Monday, Monday. Can't trust that day

With apologies to the Mamas and the Papas, I am not sure if you can trust these picks. Some days the angles just jump off the page at you. Other days, not so much. And the angles jumping at me here are negative ones, so just a few spot plays may be in order. Good luck.

Race 1: 4 Dw’s Big D- Wyers chose this one over the ML choice off the Q, a big tell; 2 Miss Debron- Best post draw since before the BP oil spill; 7 Get Lost Linda- Always hangs around.

Race 2: 6 Lima Adore- Eligible at time of entry off good Tioga race & 1st time Dan C.; 1 Dragon Fires K- Will protect the rail & is a major player; 5 Wesern Hoss- Raced well for Deaton in last

Race 3: 6 Sunrise Sunset- Charlino chose over the #4, who appears the main threat; 4 Marantha Hanover- Has faced better and won’t suffer with Deaton; 7 Suited N Booted- First time started showed a move in the qualifier and may have more to give.

Race 4: 6 Alakazam Mike- Huge closing effort in last, but he can still be his own worst enemy; 2 Western Eddie- Has done good work & gets a competitive draw here; 4 Currently Flying- Won last time Charlino drove him, facing better here; 5 Nl Nuclearmedicine- Usually hangs around.

Race 5: 4 Little Ms Sunshine- Maybe she’s starting to put it together for Bolyard? 2 Lone Star Winner- Good effort first time with a tag; Imahoneyconchman- Could be anything off the qually.

Race 6: 1 Coupon Lady- Charlino chooses the first starter over the 5 who got my initial call; 5 Touch Of Kathryn- Has generally faced better; 6 Jl Nate The Great- Third start back angle.

Race 7: 4 Lightiscape- I have no idea who will win this race, so we might as well go to the first time Charlino angle; 5 Tricky Tactics- Shows a slight close now and then; 1 Red Star Buck- I hope Gosselin’s truck is okay tonight; 9 Windspur- Fresh horse, but Koch chose off.

Race 8: 9 Diehl’s Deal- Was better reunited with Deaton and drops down; 4 He’s Fulla Chip- Rarely wins but often on the ticket; 1 Valentinos Peace- Needs to be more forward early.

Race 9: 2 Jd’s Houdini- In a positive form cycle, but 1-22 winning; 5 Magic Dart- Gets Stahl and should contend; 4 Three Sox Missing- Another one who often contends but rarely wins.

Race 10: 5 Frank Lloyd- Will Charlino have the Wright stuff? 8 The Hef- Catch driver on a Henry Beachy horse, a strong call despite the snowman; 6 Moira’s Intended- Gets Lasix and may go forward; 2 Bell Valley Diva- Good qualifier, needs to behave.

Race 11: 1 Victory Princess- Exceptionally sharp and gets the rail here; 3 Count On Kate- Back racing at her best level, consider; 6 Lima Darlin- Starting to get it and gets Charlino.

Race 12: 6 Victory Caller- Raced well in the Sires and faces lesser here; 5 Sam Has Class- Was impressive in his last start, a solid win; 7 New Riegel Star- Hey Thom, I’ll have a half-chicken dinner.

Race 13: 5 Yana Returns- looked like a different horse dropping down. Cue Elton John. 1 Foo Too- Old guy qualified well and the rail suits him; 4 Rich Man Poor Man- Has had some bad racing luck lately; 3 The Swami- Can Morales win the Oskar?
