All depends on the weather- we could have a thawing track which could make things interesting. Otherwise, this is a very playable card that appears to have a lot of value. Good Luck.
Race 1: 1 Vrahos Again- They opened up the class for him & has the rail; 6 Fast And Fearless- Raced well in last & hails from good trotting barn; 8 Heavenly Chip- Not sure he can overcome the snowman.
Race 2: 5 Heez Ruthless N- Class dropper gets a slight call here; 1 Jakey Boy- Hoping Feb 2 wasn’t his win for the year; 2 One Eyed Willie- At least he draws well against these.
Race 3: 6 American Grac K- Looks like Loy/Sugg have found the Key to this one; 4 Sunset Snip- Usually does a bit of work, consider; 1 Royal Hawaii- Could be anything with the improved post draw.
Race 4: 6 Lucca’s Revenge- Doesn’t always win, but always gets forward; 1 Brother Nick- Kind of hangs around and has enough speed for a pocket trip; 9 Tala Boy- Solid qually, but may need a start; 7 Rhapwiththestars- In god form, but unproven at this level.
Race 5: 1 Snow Storm Sam- Has the most positive angles and is the only NW1L8; 4 Theshadownose- raced well in sort of this class w/Noble; 2 Shady Sequel- I am just a glutton for punishment.
Race 6: 3 Sparks Of Gold- Sharp and gets a barn change, but same driver; 2 Pembroke Touch- Tyler chose the 3, so do I, but this one figures; 7 G Rod- Class relief off a win, the For Sale sign is out.
Race 7: 3 R U A Looker-Back at a level where he can only beat himself with this post; 9 Mulebarn Bob- A tad inconsistent, but must consider with Nfld’s leading driver; 2 Go Merrily Along- Has won two in a row, but a negative driver change; 7 Peggy Spur- Worth it on the bottom of the ticket at 20-1 ML.
Race 8: 2 Little Cam Can- Had no chance in last two, three back start gives me hope; 1 Slade Gram- Can hang around from this post with a top effort; 6 Cousin Mikey- Showed signs of life in last start.
Race 9: 4 Phagus Hall-Eligible at time of entry and (you can argue) a positive driver change; 2 Rapid City- Not ready to build a Rushmore-like monument to young Smith yet, but…7 Auto Pilot- Hasn’t been a beaten favorite in his last three.
Race 10: 6 Western Eddie- NW1L8 have a huge edge in this class; 2 Cooby N- Class dropper may contend; 9 Monbak- Suspect form, NW1L8, 1st-time Rideout barn; 3 Equinox Hanover- Will he finally show the Wright stuff?
Race 11: 2 Awesome Abe- This horse has faced some monsters and is far better than his form shows; 3 Bucky Can’t Caddy- Beat these two back; 1 Vp Hot Rod- May be braver from rail with fresh hands.
Race 12: 2 Pray To Me- Handled the move up in last, the others don’t have a prayer; 3 Casino Winner K- Best of the rest if he minds is manners; 9 Garland’s Brat- Dave II knows him better than anyone.
Race 13: 2 Irish Raider- Drops well below the level of his last win and may be a value; 3 Gordieisanartist- Not a nickel in his last five, will be overplayed; 5 The Big Wazzoo- A Noble choice over the 8; 6 Upfront Red River- Moves up off his first win in a couple years, but has missed some time.
