Mondays Maybes

[cliff]

Selections for Monday January 12. I could be wrong, but it looks like a chalk players delight, assuming of course that the weather improves.

Race 1

#9 Deputy Gabriel - the fastest of these speed challenged trotters
#7 Smooth Dreamer - on the board every start, never breaks
#6 P Willy Putt - lots of action at the windows last week, gotta like the driver change
#5 Rap S J - left aggressively last week

Race 2 Ugly Alert

#1 Sic Em Tiger - Matt should control the fractions, may steal another one
#4 NL Nuclearmedicine - post relief, was on the move before the interference
#7 Noble Moe's First - the "classiest" of the group, terrible form to go along with the negative post
#5 MJ's Fantasy - new barn, maybe new ideas

Race 3

#2 Hoofner - in a good spot for a rare victory against this weak field
#1 Vrahos Again - beaten favorite moves to the rail
#9 Rocky Bay - an automatic play, big driver change
#6 Quantum King Leo - a week away

Race 4

#1 Take Down Hall - fresh set of hands and the rail should be enough
#9 Rabbitman - recovered from the oopsy and still managed show money
#3 Suzy's Boy - eventful trip last week
#5 Shannons Boy Scout - first positive post in this class, would benefit from a catch driver

Race 5 Ugly Alert

#2 Noble Fire - someone has to win it, claimer has some early speed if Andy uses it
#1 Sole Music - Kakaley and the rail, doesn't race in air much
#9 Wreckless Preston - seldom mention this one, shows how sorry this group is
#6 Justin's Buckeye - more consideration if Kakaley had stayed aboard

Race 6

#9 Jack N Sam - yikes, qualified faster than any of these can go
#7 Valentinos Peace - on the move before the break, challenging post again
#5 Keystone Darnley - third to a couple of toughies last week
#4 Heza Chip - demonstrated some speed earlier in the year

Race 7

#4 General Maximus - third start back, should be tough Value Play
#7 E C K - over his head in his last two starts, nothing like those horses in here
#2 TJ's First - moves inside on the drop, usually against tougher
#1 Kassamatt - sharp, for him

Race 8

#9 Look Who's Invited - only one to beat on the class drop, like the new driver
#1 Earnhardt Hanover - took notice of this one big time last week, a two horse race
#2 Validated Cam - bad luck last time, looks third best here with the driver change
#5 Rocknroll Attack - has been earning checks, would like to see more speed

Race 9

#1 Grit Your Teeth - Kakaley's choice looks like the winner
#3 RJ's Message - nice efforts in his last two
#2 Take The Profit - fast enough if he wants to trot
#4 Handsome Harley - wins every other race, too much power inside him tonight

Race 10

#3 Mighty Mason - gets Aaron back, leaves tonight
#1 Mans Star - fits this class well, just doesn't win very often
#5 Tato Tato - surprised them last week, tough to do a three peet
#9 Northville Albert - expect another tough trip

Race 11

#9 Lookout Macaroo - figured he would improve with Aaron, but wow oh wow
#1 Sunday Attack - didn't show it all in the qualifier, probably a week or two away
#6 I Can Scoot Too - big improvement in his last two
#4 Yoo Hoo Bunny - proven winner in this class

Race 12

#2 Celebrity Yank - class, post, & driver relief, what's not to like?
#3 Thunder Boomer - impressive start for new barn
#1 Honorable Guy - could surprise the favorite if he stays on gait
#9 Doctor Reece - the time off is not encouraging

Race 13

#9 Gramma's Guy - post gives me pause, but he's super sharp
#1 Increase Profit - third start back, better than a three claimer
#2 Armbro Deck - Merriman more than the horse won last week
#4 Validated Parking - making moves

Race 14

#9 Hi Got The Jack - easy pickings against this struggling group Best Bet
#1 I'm Patrick - improved with lasix, catches the rail
#4 Steamroller - a new set of hands for his second start back
#5 That's Textbook - game, but speed challenged

Good Luck
