It's been a long time since I had a card like this

Handicapping this card, I felt much like the late great John Banner aka Sargeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes. "I see nothink; I hear nothink; I know nothink."
I have absolutely no feel for this one at all. Normally, when that happens, I take a few days off. But with the upcomign holiday, our draw schedule is totaly facoch-ta (A Yiddish word that means about what it sounds like {and forgive the spelling}, so hopefully I will find a better way to freshen up my viewpoint. Good luck.

Race 1: 3 Iknowwhatboyslike- Looked much better with Deaton last time; 1 Viking Mia- 3rd back angle and certainly fits from the rail; 4 Forever Friends- Improving for Team Sherman.

Race 2: 2 Lisa Charcacter- Robin chose her over #4, my initial pick. Let’s take a flyer; 4 Kimmy Cruiser- Had problems last time here, risky; 1 Memphis Glow- Awful in last, also a risky choice.

Race 3: 6 Forever Lucky- Moves out after 2 straight wins, a tough challenge; 7 Renaissance Woman- Has a chance for owner-drover Aaron; 9 I Give You My Word- Raced well in local bow.

Race 4: 3 Eyeseefame- Wow, Giss, you’re really out on a limb here. 1-5; 5 White Cheeks- Has ability, but not as much as the choice; 2 Admirals Diamond- Other than the snowman start, she ahs been solid; 9 Cruizin At Dawn- Tough trip and bad post moving to this level, another chance.

Race 5: 3 C R Dream- I’ve always liked her and now she gets a trainer change; 7 Frenbrook Fiasco N- Seems to like the Route 8 Oval better than Leb; 5 Cinderella Blue- Gets A. Merriman.

Race 6: 4 Jo-ju-jan- Lukewarm call off the 1st-time Charlino angle; 6 All Over Now- Some class relief, but hasn’t made a penny last five; 3 Attack On The Town- Fresh set of hands angle.

Race 7: 9 Cosmetician- May make the paddock draw-gate move heading to the quarter, sharp; 7 I Am Samsational- Huge effort in last, road trouble here? 3 Flightime Sage- Should be better with a local start under her belt; 2 Zip Ping- Pulled from the Delaware sale and here she is.

Race 8: 3 Action Jenna- Why do I have a feeling Virgil-Charlino will be a pretty good combo? 5 Surf Song- One of the few who is legit in this class; 1 Radiant Star- Improving & rail should help.

Race 9: 4 Honey Creek Abby- Success with Shetler in the past, if I recall; 2 Katies Valentine- Fresh & did some work last time; 3 Action On The Beach- Trip did her in, another chance here.

Race 10: 3 Sweetie Sue Cam- Aaron’s choice over 2/5/6/9. Racing as well as she ever has; 7 Get Ready To Rhumba- Post’s no bargain, but always give you your money’s worth; 4 St Jated Strike- No shot wit the draw in last, try her; 5 Commissioned N- Fresh set of hands may help.

Race 11: 5 Rosie Caribia- Total lack of interest from snowman, don’t dismiss; 8 Golden Fizz- Always tries, regardless of post; 6 Enticing Attack- Hangs around, faces softer and gets Dan C.

Race 12: 9 Dream Misty- Charlino may be the difference in this one; 5 Alhambra Bokay- Fresh hands may help, she did work in last; 4 Longlegacy- Shows a few good lines with Aaron driving.

Race 13: 6 Cora’s Grace- Monstrous class relief off some credible efforts, jogburger; 9 Ace Up Your Sleeve- Drops to level of her last win six back; 2 Can Do It Forever- May be better from #2.

Race 14: 1 JJ’s Request- Showed some signs last week, and get s Dan C again, plus a rail; 2 Bully Joni- Gets Sugg with Charlino choosing off; 7 Eagle Creek Beauty- Loves this track, ignore the form; 3 Livenadinconcert- Will get an aggressive trip from J.D.
