Handicapper Tips & Picks

#6 FOX VALLEY CORSO settled for place last week though visually turned in a "winning" effort for the level. #4 ZENA LOU was 7-2 last week and had an excuse in running to give a look as she projects to be much higher odds. #9 SNAP KRACKLE NTROT also had consideration last week though eliminated with the break and seems intent with the hopples (and K. Husted) back on.

#1 WILAMAR SPARK, C. Stewart had an off week last week and could see improvement from horse and rider. #2 LOULITA sits logically back under similar conditions to where she has been competitive throughout her career. 

#4 ILIKEMEBETTOR A over #5 HE'ZZZ A WISE SKY based on current form cycle and trip coming into this race. #2 GET E UP has not quite been on the level of those two, though should find himself back to a top effort today to get back into the number at a price alternative to #6 PLAY ME ROCK.

#3 FREE ART has been consistent all season though coming off his best effort this year. He repeats he is winning for run if he races back to his other efforts the race opens up and upgrades #1 FOX VALLEY KODIAK and #5 JR STRIKE THREE.

#2 APPLE VALLEY was likely going to be favored before the scratch on Night of Champions. She has the current form on her side and edge though will give up recency and finds a driver change to J. Franco. Recency sits with #7 NO WIN NO FEED A though will give up local experience. #3 BOMBAY PARKWAY might have won if not for the adversity on 10/22 (common race) and validated that effort with the comfortable win last week. 

The early pace should be honest given the complexion of this group and that scenario could assist #1 HEALTH BAR in this event and with C. Stewart taking over tonight. 

#7 JERI SUE was in hand and not asked on 10/29 her prior form makes her a main player. It could be seen as a positive the connections step up in class and C. Stewart remains in the bike. 

#3 MY UPTOWNE GIRL finds a subtle class change and given her current form fits as a main player in today's field. Trip will be key for #8 RONA MAE though current form cycle suggest she returning to a competitive effort. #7 LOOK KIMBO has followed an every other pattern this season and while this is a tougher spot than where she has won on that pattern a move forward can be projected here. 

Tough to look outside the three inside mares and as a case can be made for all three coming into this race the board (and on track visuals) can provide the necessary separator. 

#9 TREY ROCKETTE returns as an upgrade from their effort back on 10/22 from the trip and reunites with driver, K. Wilfong. The connections of #2 RJ ROCKS have shown confidence since the 10/15 win with the steps up in class and he has shown the ability to hold his own. The big change today could come from the board as he did not offer value on the step up the prior two weeks and could see a drift today given the morning line. #4 MARSHALL MALONE was one of the "overlay" runners as a result and finished with the win along side #10 JULERICA. 

#9 HELLO SWEETIE BOY gives up local experience and recency skipping October. His form this season make him a player and is encouraging K. Wilfong sticks around. #2 ROCKIN PULSE seems logical returning to this circuit with his effort here on 10/15 in line with today's group and condition. #6 FOX VALLEY MONACO was more competitive than perhaps the running line and finishing position last week under similar conditions. #3 MACHDAVID is the major wildcard in here making a late season return. Going back to last summer, those efforts make him a standout in this group.
