Saturday Night At The Races

[cliff]

Selections for Friday February 6. Looking for some upsets tonight. Could be a good pick3, pick4, and exacta box night.

Race 1

#5 Panda Cafe - hasn't had both a driver and post since the claim, has both tonight
#4 Jate's Boy - beaten favorite looked sluggish last week, has the class nonetheless
#3 Jaccka Midnight N - old timer a couple steps behind the top two, Aaron back a plus
#7 Patrick Craig Cam - best of the rest, no post tonight

Race 2

#5 Dublin Dollars - odds on, assuming Andy is back driving tonight
#2 Tommy G - will be better in second start for Don, back on the gate
#1 Charming Comer - looked bad last two, but will get a nice rail trip
#9 Lukenbak - another who will drag along for a minor piece

Race 3

#5 Fortune Ho - like the claim, five year old wins at a 22% rate Best Bet
#1 Exceptional Toy - in form and should be solid from the rail.
#7 Sparks Of Gold - super sharp, post will be a problem
#6 Allamerican Viper - Merriman's choice, too good to stay down long

Race 4

#7 PC Sam - going against the book, but something not to like about all the others Longshot Special
#6 Sunday Attack - is the youngster ready to make the move up? we'll see
#1 Liftoff Bayama - has the rail against a suspect group, doesn't win much anymore
#9 Eagle Tack - threw out the anchor last week, rebound is possible

Race 5

#3 Fox Valley Jammin - had nothing for the Prez last week, love Deaton with this horse Value Play
#1 Happy Riggs - expect to see him back with the 8 claimers soon, hasn't shown anything for a month
#6 Up Front Guy - always game, can't put any higher from this post
#2 Dontgetintheway - sharp, but stepping out of his class

Race 6

#5 Hooray For Mom - destroyed a lesser field last week, could be good for two in a row
#1 Keno Vicky - very sharp with the rail
#2 Speed Talker - have to respect Meadows trotters
#3 Chust Chudy - beaten favorite didn't make a move last week, have to question her form

Race 7

#5 Sultan Desbi - great shot against these for the class dropper
#3 Go Again - odds on, but sorry, I have a problem with claimers dropping
#4 Knob Hill Splash - really a nice horse, proven winner at this level
#2 Spires Trick - like the claimer in this condition, especially with Deaton

Race 8

#4 Bologna Lips - looks ready tonight
#7 Chippendale Dancer - love the horse, not the post
#5 Celebrity Yank - haven't been able to keep him off the board lately
#3 Smok'n Coalburner - cross your fingers, due to break

Race 9

#4 Sneaky B Skipalong - shipped here to get a check, may get the top one
#5 State Of The Union - close in his last two, has won this event before
#6 Lite Me Up - scratch out of the five hole last week, not a good sign
#2 Royalton Star - sharp, but a bit over his head tonight

Race 10

#2 Artistic Dreamer - new connections, Deaton back aboard
#9 J T Stenna - continues to be very sharp, don't like the post
#7 Slade Gram - earned an impressive win last week, tough spot here
#4 Utica Hanover - finally competitive in this class

Race 11

#2 Lucca's Revenge - the obvious choice, if Andy is driving
#1 Bustamante - super sharp, gets post relief plus Deaton
#3 R Cowboy - second to a very good one, have to include
#8 American Tribute - extremely sharp, post a problem

Race 12

#2 Category Six - sharp and consistent, ready to win
#5 Handsome Prince - third start back, should be more involve tonight
#3 Rella's Trick - on the board last three, should be there again
#4 Whatanartist - blast from the past, from the qualifier still looks like a race horse

Race 13

#4 Mans Star - moves inside against a not so stellar group Value Play
#3 Armadas Rocket - claimer in a cheap condition, quit last week, not encouraging
#5 Knockout Sahbra - always scores this cheap, just never wins
#2 Take Down Hall - the mystery continues with his struggles

Good Luck
