Selections for Friday January 30. Hope the weather improves and we can get this in. Not to rub it in, but it was 64 and sunny today in Vegas...go west young man, so the saying goes. 
.
Race 1 Ugly Alert
#1 Baby Blue Pajamas - has the rail and made some money last season, Bartley barn doing well
#4 Free For All - hasn't had the best of the draws, should be more involved tonight
#5 Timecando - hasn't won one forever, has the speed to compete with these
#2 Talk Of The Party - picked up a fourth last three
Race 2
#5 Fiesty Kindof Luv - only claimer in the race, Wyatt has been the trottin' man lately
#1 Wandering Dream - has the rail and the good early foot, crushed a similar group three back
#2 Connie Corleone - Ken back driving, softer group tonight
#4 Acadia Sis - form is suspect, could be sick again
Race 3
#2 Village Catera - moves inside off a decent effort
#5 Back Home Again - Merriman with a rare start for the Hollar barn, horse never has won much
#6 Betcha I Attack - the classiest of this group, has been out of sorts all winter
#1 April Fool Days - looked terrible last two, don't understand the ML 5-2 with Mr. Harris
Race 4
#2 Nude N Naughty - fought hard last week, suspect group of claimers
#9 Tabby - fresh set of hands, doesn't win often enough
#6 Janica - nice effort against tougher last week, needs a post
#4 Prettylittleangel - not really a claimer, but she's sharp, Young/Irvine combo making hay
Race 5 Great one to watch, tough one to bet
#2 Bibi Vai Vai - lost the win on the break, will be tough again
#4 Krissy K - exploded last week, these are tougher
#1 Sister Kathy - took advantage of the trip and break last week, can't count on it again
#3 Packet Fulla Stars - may have to settle for another fourth place
Race 6
#2 Katies Big Girl - big move from the eight hole last week, should wire these Best Bet
#9 Slow Cooking Sadie - Matt made it look easy last week, unconvinced she's that good
#4 Cathy - D - earns a check every week, can't seem to win her way out of this class
#5 Sweet Piggy Bank - good effort for new connections, looking for more improvement
Race 7
#1 La Suvera - second time Kakaley may be the same result as first time Kakaley
#5 Rhiannon O Rhye - third against a couple toughies last week
#9 Watching Ellie - expecting more from her, post won't help either
#6 Virtual Dream - moving up, should continue to improve
Race 8
#1 Hooray For Mom - class and post relief, will be tough to beat her tonight
#5 Anastasia Broadway - needed the claiming tag to get in, positive post for a change
#9 Sierra's Joy - proven winner at this level, like the first two more
#2 Super V Begonia - caught my eye last week, then there's the Wyatt angle again
Race 9
#3 Fleur De Le - the current female monster on the grounds
#4 Ballad Seelster - would get the call without Ms Mooney's horse in the field
#1 Cristal Daddy Girl - rounding into form
#2 Sara's Lil Sis - back from the east, Andy last one to win with her
Race 10
#7 JL's Nite Music - just needs a fair trip Value Play
#3 Secret Affair - hope you cashed last week, no price tonight
#9 Eagle Creek Beauty - doesn't win often, but makes a living in this class
#8 Towner's Great Lady - post woes continue, better than most of these
Race 11
#1 Kalfas Attack - good beginning against tougher, should improve
#2 Theresa's Princess - should be in the hunt again, unproven at this level
#7 Towner's Big Sadie - closed against tougher last week, post no help tonight
#3 Time By Sevens - yes, she was in tough at the Meadows, but those lines are sooooo bad
Race 12
#2 Swift Samantha - whoopie, no claimers in this group
#5 Mindy Love Brown - parked last week and wouldn't give ground
#4 Best Be Luck - lucky Merriman stuck around, horse has never been much
#1 Bigaffairintown - can't win her way out of this class, very stale date
Race 13 As Bianconi says: saved the best for last
#7 Illegally Blonde - Merriman drove at least half of this mares wins last season, super soft field
#3 Lovesick Blues - hoping the third start back angle works
#9 Lonehill Valvette - rare on the board finish last week
#4 Classy Sarah - just a guess
Good Luck
