Selections for Saturday April 4.
Race 1
#2 Hooray For Mom - super sharp horse, super hot driver, best leaver with a post
#1 Master Wheels - generally give a trotter of this quality one break, should rebound
#4 Hello Carlo - what more does he need to do? Ken Koch can drive trotters
#6 Diamond Hunter - hasn't been out for two months, and now prepping for bigger purses, be wary
Race 2
#3 Linns Dream - post and class relief, second time lasix plus Aaron, what more do we need?
#1 Laughing Is An Art - the class here, but can't be in form off the layoff
#7 Delivered Rules - seldom seen at this level, could surprise
#4 Big Guy Forever - four year old generally competitive in this class
Race 3
#8 My Roomie - hits the bottom in his third start, better than these even from out here
#1 Engine Hanover - major class drop, hard to trust 13 year old legs
#6 Coluptuous - also dropping, would rather see her racing Friday
#7 Kueken - Dan K from the seven hole? Yup, that's how weak this field is
Race 4
#9 Broadway Petera - hits the bottom of the conditioners, post the only concern
#1 Secret Affair - no excuse last week, hard to go back to her
#5 Spirit Within - may not know what to do with an inside post
#3 Evacuation - Merriman can't win them all, or can he?
Race 5 Sould Be a value
#4 Sparks Of Gold - back to the level of his claim, great shot against these
#6 Super Max N - crushes 3 claimers, should be good against these too
#7 Make Me Proudchico - respect claimers moving up, post an issue
#2 Allamericanviper - always over rated, big time tonight
Race 6
#8 Dontgetintheway - post won't even get in his way Best Bet
#5 Spastic - has been one classy race horse for a long time, in cheap
#4 Whatanartist - home again
#2 Mr Cadillac - still in top form, will leave for position
Race 7
#7 Fox Valley Galaxy - four year old, first time Merriman, yep I like it
#9 Buzz Hershey - love the horse, can't trust the driver, especially with this post
#2 L Dees Dr Norman - over rated by ML handicapper, 1-26 lifetime not encouraging
#1 The Big Wazzoo - lots of miles for his age, first start in this class with a post
Race 8
#2 Heez Ruthless - bet against him last week, learned my lesson
#6 Painted Speed - will pick up the pieces if Heez not up to it
#5 Zakman - big effort, makes his living in this class
#4 Liftoff Bayama - surprised us last week, hit the board at 30-1
Race 9
#5 Up Front Guy - never fails when he drops from the open
#1 The Long Goodbye - object of a claiming war, he's a good one
#9 Red Cloud Rising - post guarantees a tough trip
#2 Knockout Sahbra - can hang around as we've seen
Race 10
#3 Whos Yur Daddy Now - beat a tough one last week, should be good for another
#2 Expensive Western - as sharp as we've ever seen him, 20-1? don't think so
#1 Osborne's Bullet - knew what to do with the rail last week
#7 Players Ball - always consider the four year olds, this is a good one
Race 11 Breaker Breaker
#4 Giulio - a real head case, if he stays trotting he wins, if not, well........
#5 Oceana Hanover - big move and close last week, doubt the ML will hold
#3 Chust Chudy - form is suspect, but she's been in tough
#6 Conductors Timeout - sharp, but a little too far outside to rate higher, about due to break
Race 12
#4 Ms Fun - lukewarm call, no standouts in this race
#3 Grand Firmation - third start back, has been an under performer for a long time
#1 Gates Of Heaven - at least has the rail going for her
#5 Baby Blue Pajamas - beaten favorite had no excuse, hard to go back to her
Race 13
#1 Stand N Shout - new barn, nice qualifier
#2 Sultan Desbi - would get the call with any other driver
#5 Lookslike Jet - should be able to leave a little better against these
#4 Take Down Hall - the Merriman factor
Good Luck
