Selections for Friday January 9. Longshot Mike and I agree more often than not on tonight's card. How scary is that. From out here in the fun and sun, the weather forecast for Northfield looks very crappy. Let's hope for clearing and acceptable track conditions.
Race 1 Ugly Alert
#1 Talk Of The Party - has the rail and at least has shown an interest in racing
#9 Alot Of Ideas- had some time off, with a recent barn and driver change
#3 TT's First Jet - form is sucky, but maybe Elliott can wake her up
#4 Skyway Happy - first time Kakaley has been a solid angle
Race 2
#2 Fiesty Kindof Luv - looking at her lifetime stats, this one has more upside
#1 Kipling Avenue - very nice effort from a difficult post
#4 Dia Magdalene - Ralph has a good one, Ralph needs to give up his seat
#4 Maratinney - broke and recovered, will be in the hunt if she minds her manners
Race 3
#7 Fleur De Le - overwhelmed a similar group last week Best Bet
#2 Game Portia - still waiting on this one to break through
#3 Miss Panama Beach - that Kakaley got off is telling
#9 Dessies Girl - form may have peaked, tough post
Race 4
#3 JL's Nite Music - easily last week, should handle this somewhat tougher group
#4 Electric Highlight - always a threat, may not be as sharp as top pick
#2 Virtual Dream - good effort in her first start back, could bounce tonight
#1 My Little Tizzy - first out last week, probably happens again tonight
Race 5
#3 Ideal Becky - on a bit of a limb here, but that was a major league move last week Value Play
#5 Time By Sevens - a nice move herself, Becky has the better post
#3 Polo Jenn - still not her old self, nine years old and almost 200 starts
#1 Ms Maize N Blu - expected more last week, may have over evaluated her
Race 6
#9 Belle Beckley - pretty fair move against a better field last week Value Play
#1 Cottonland Daisy- Nisonger went right down the road with her, Aaron could do likewise
#2 Tabby - would be the pick if her form looked better
#4 Hurricane Kelsey - won some races last year, form has been off
Race 7 Wide Open Affair
#4 Pat's Fantasy - has looked sharp, except for the Jones drive
#9 Survivor I Am - credible effort against better last week
#3 Patty Jodine - always gets support at the windows, I'm not sold Vulnerable Favorite
#4 Mydailybread - mare fits with these, not crazy about the driver
Race 8
#3 Lucinda's Girl - JD's turn to control the fractions
#5 Jo Jo's Circus - getting started has been this one's problem
#9 Little TLC - likes the front end, more consideration with a different post
#2 La Suvera - best post in quite a while, should have something to say about it
Race 9
#5 Oceana Hanover - finally gets a post, and the edge here
#2 Brilliant Vision- seems to do better in bad weather, could surprise
#7 Krissy K - nothing wrong with her, post is the problem
#6 Sweet Potatoe - up in class, will have to come from behind Vulnerable Favorite
Race 10
#5 Watching Ellie - big move in one of the faster paced races of the evening, pray for a price Value?
#2 Beach Girl - slowed the pace to a crawl, Kakaley is better than the horse at the moment
#7 Gram Of Gold - first out against a tough one last week, a covered trip tonight
#6 Rhiannon O Rhye - hasn't had to work from this far out in a while, we'll see Vulnerable Favorite
Race 11
#5 Towner's Big Sadie - been waiting to give this one the call, both a post and driver tonight
#9 Towner's Greatlady - really like this one also
#1 Scoot To The Top - moves back inside, another case of liking the driver more than the horse
#4 Sand Alexandria - loses on the post draw sweepstakes this week
Race 12
#4 Jarmoto - kept coming after a very fast early pace Value Play
#2 Green Acre Annie - Kakaley is back with a well timed move
#3 Iknowwhatboyslike - moves up a bit, hard to leave her out
#5 Sierra's Joy - had things her way last week, tougher assignment tonight Vulnerable Favorite
Race 13
#7 Prettylittleangel - 3rd start off the scratch, good shot to beat the favorite Value Play
#1 Eagle Creek Beauty - the rail and some excuses, still don't like the way she's has been backing up
#9 Three Choices - scratching my head, she is better than she's looked
#5 Slick-As-Sleet - grabbed show money last week, these aren't much tougher
Race 14
#4 Midnight Obsession - nice move last week, better post to operate from tonight
#7 Miss Top Flight - usually in against tougher, like the driver switch
#1 Secret Treasure N - no form, can't play an 11 year old against a bunch of younger mares
#9 Tiger's Big Girl - speed challenged, but should get a nice rail trip
Good Luck
