Selections for Tuesday April 7. Hope the track conditions improve. Sunny and 82° here in Vegas by the way. Sorry, couldn't resist. ;D
Race 1
#7 Rose Run Freddie - last week's trip puts him in the winners circle against these Value Play
#2 Three Good Fellows - 0-11 this year, has been a bottomless money pit for yours truly
#1 Gimme Gimme Gimme - a sign of life last week, should get even better
#3 Keep Counting - nice move last week, beaten by a good one
Race 2
#7 Smartiscape - easily the best of this crowd Best Bet
#8 Sand Kanyon - I know what you're thinking, but look at that qualifier
#6 Whispers Art - decent first start, should improve
#2 Made For Cruising - when in doubt, bet the "No Nukes" , Del line stands out
Race 3
#3 Actions By Chip - another easy choice, where is Ryan S tonight?
#1 Diamond By A Nose - was in very tough last week, these are easier
#2 Ben Mor Lane - nice early foot, will be in good position
#5 Fortune King - very consistent, too much power inside him tonight
Race 4
#4 Provara's Best - the last race he had a shot was 03/02, will leave against these
#2 Breeze On By N - no excuse last week, can't go back to the 13 year old
#1 Democratic Dragon - has sharpened up a bit, the rail a big asset in this race
#5 Red Heads Star - moving up a bit, but he's pretty sharp
Race 5 Value Plays
#6 Van Ashen - impressive rally last week, gets the class drop and a driver upgrade
#3 Perfect Western - a blast from the past, time will tell if he's all the way back
#5 Allamerican Amigo - badly beaten favorite in his third start back
#4 I've Got Life - a two minute qualifier fits right in with group, may need a start
Race 6 Wide Open Affair
#9 Packet Fulla Stars - really like the mile he trotted last time Matt drove, big shot against these
#1 D T M - Merriman's choice says a mouthful
#4 Hey Ray - JD last to win with him, shouldn't drop off much
#7 Keystone Tristen - major test tonight with this post
Race 7
#6 Night Trouble - class relief in his second start, may be enough
#3 Irish Shade - locked in most of the way, is racing better than his line indicates
#5 Hoosier Lion - has been racing very well for Matt
#4 Nuke Kidin Town - has really stepped it up recently
Race 8
#3 Go Again - will lose one day, probably not tonight
#5 Oneforthepresident - has the ability, in a losing rut
#2 Ryans Hall - as sharp as this one gets
#4 Alpine Hall - beat some bad horses last week, has shown some ability
Race 9
#7 Thebigguyfromtown - have been impressed with his gutty performances
#3 Class Worker - Merriman sprinkles him with fast dust, and poof he's gone
#5 Allamerican Raider - drops from the claimers, always a good angle
#9 Eagle Thriller - always have liked the horse, post and driver could be better
Race 10 Wide Open Affair
#1 Contradiction - has the speed to wire these if Joey has the hands
#5 Lumberjack Lavec - very impressive recovery last week, Kakaley back aboard
#3 Elektrafreak - more trot than we've from her lately, fits better on Fridays
#2 Smok'n Coalburner - will be odds on, but he can't be trusted to trot the mile
Race 11
#5 French Attack - does his best work on off tracks, a deserving favorite
#3 Game Portia - many, many chances 0 forever it seems
#6 Cg's Wonder - difficult to keep him off the board these days
#7 Art's Special Boy - looking to the future, qualifier more impressive after a second look
Race 12
#5 Rudy - if he kicks it in gear a little earlier, watch out
#9 Solocam - beaten favorite should be solid, post no help
#1 Race Track Cruiser - looked like a race horse last year, looking for improvement
#4 Happy Riggs - off about a month, need to see how he looks on the track
Race 13 More Value
#3 Texas Tenderloin - locked in late behind dead cover, another chance tonight
#1 Lucky And Free - finally a post, form still a ?
#9 Mans Star - third start back, now or never
#5 Jaccka Midnight - was outside a long time last week, easier task tonight
Good Luck
