Handicapper Tips & Picks

APPLE VALLEY has so much back class and has been facing much tougher company as well throughout the year. This is a massive drop and should be a winning drop. FILLYS REVENGE showed speed last out and also takes the drop. But her race may be for place. SILVERSHOE CHIXY should be closing some ground late. She's worth a look underneath in the gimmicks.

PERLUCKY has speed, has class and draws favorably. He should be able to wire this bunch. NEVER MIND has games wins in his last couple. He will also rate close as the mile oval has suited his style nicely. CALDERONE posted a solid score from the outside last out. He's back at the same level tonight but finds a couple of new, tough contenders.

A pretty evenly matched bunch as INTIMIDATION looks to be the controlling speed from the inside. WOWHESAROCKSTAR has been sharp since shifting to Hawthorne and finds the right time to try this level. CAPTAIN SLEAZE improved last out but has just one win in 27 starts this year. May be better to use underneath in gimmicks.

BET MINE has faced tougher throughout the year and has held his own. Consistent starts and the shift to Hawthorne could be all he needs. ROUND HERE BUZZ has back class. The only concern for him is the layoff as he may need a race. JULERICA figures to be sent for the top. Could hang around for a share.

The best betting race on the card. ROCK IT OUT draws well, has speed, and comes off a good open-company win. FOX VALLEY STEELER has had a decent season but was in just a bit tough last out. This looks to be a good move to tonight's spot. ROLLIN COAL has ability and likes the track. May rate closer from the inside draw.

GREAT SEATS comes in off a big effort last out. Should get a good trip with the inside draw. TRUFFLE DOG benefits with the move to the mile oval. Gets pace to chase and will come charging late. TOOKADIVEOFFDIPPER is so classy. He surpassed $700k in lifetime earnings in his last start and is still going strong.

Worth looking at a price horse in here. CHESAPEAKE SUNRISE will be a massive price but can improve tonight. He faced tougher in Indiana and had to overcome the outside draw last out. STAR COMMANDER is still looking for his first win on the year. He draws favorably tonight and should be able to show some speed. STREET BOY hasn't raced in a month. With the outside post he could be looking to pick up the pieces late.

YEAHBOYYEAH held his own in his Hawthorne return last out from the outside draw. A better post tonight and ability to show speed puts him in the mix. ERNIE THE MOOSS oftentimes rallies late in the lane. Was compromised a bit by tough draws in his last couple but has no excuse tonight. NUI BA DEN was a good third last out. The shift back to Hawthorne may be getting him on track.

The fact that Trackmaster allows 9-1 to be a M/L in kind of funny to me but that's what we see with MARYS PRETTY GIRL. She continues to improve and should be charging late. KIZZMELIKEUMISSME figures to show speed. Was a solid mile last time out. TONCREDBLYFASTFORU has tactical speed. A little class relief should help.
