Selections for Saturday May 2.
Race 1
#1 The Long Goodbye - big effort last week, very weak 8 claiming field
#6 Whos Yur Daddy Now - keeps advancing to the next level, post no help tonight
#3 Eagle Tack - moves back inside, racing surprisingly well at this level
#4 Go Again - ties to make the jump again, found wanting in the past
Race 2 I didn't have a clue, so I let Big Al make these picks
#5 Special Bay -
#4 Keven Goz Commando -
#9 Lady Railaway -
#6 Lisa's Mom -
Race 3 Value Play
#4 My Stroke Of Luck - now that Jimmy G has seen victory circle, we can put him on top
#3 Jates Rookie - last won in this exact spot 1/29 with Mr Sugg presiding
#2 Ohio Star - sign of life last week
#9 Chief Connection - haven't seen him make a move forever, will need to do something to win from here
Race 4 Wide Open
#1 Travel Bug N - the horse is deadly from the rail
#5 Harmony Oaks Tom - the horse has come alive with Merriman
#3 David Erol - sort of a default choice, nothing else inside to worry about
#2 El Personal Pace - just a guess
Race 5 Best bet
#6 Colossal Sahbra - beaten favorite ran into a toughie last week, nothing like TI in this race
#4 Rhiannon O Rhye - caught outside last week, should be ready for a good effort tonight
#1 Goldies Girl - racing pretty well and has the rail
#9 Voo Doo U Too - was stinking up the joint when last we saw her, looks to have improved
Race 6 A Two Horse Race
#2 Forever Friendly - third start back, have liked him since day one
#5 Nuclear Cam - outclasses the rest of these, even if he's not at his best
#4 Eagle Creek Patrol - makes her living in this class, seldom wins
#1 Inquisitive Me - out of his class, but has the shortest distance to go
Race 7 Easy Exacta
#2 Up Front Hanover - convincingly last week
#4 Irish Raider - seldom in this cheap, a tough four year old
#1 Noble Star King - still sharp, just above his normal class
#7 Oneforthepresident - post the big drawback
Race 8
#1 Glasslite - nothing sharp enough to beat him tonight
#2 Touch Of Nay - always tries and always trots, in against weaker tonight
#5 Wyatt - slightly better post draw, on the board last three
#4 Be A king - I know what you're thinking, but he looked pretty good in his first start
Race 9
#6 Itza Goozi Girl - this is just the kind of suspect field she should handle
#9 Sweetie Peetie - locked in last week, seemed to have some pace
#3 Imafirmbeliefer - no shot against that crew last week, fits much better against these
#4 Classy Sarah - moving back up after a valiant effort
Race 10
#2 Soul Redeemer - crushed lesser last week, will be tough again
#1 Spastic - the class, but hasn't exactly been tearing them up over in Pa

#9 Elm Grove Gerson - improves every week, tough company tonight
Race 11 Breaker Breaker
#5 Conductors Timeout - picked it up last week, would love that 9-1 again
#1 Yankee Coburn - decent mile last week from the outside, subject of a recent claiming war
#2 Sierra's Joy - back home again, proven winner at this level
#6 Son Ofa Spur - third start and a positive driver change, has also won at this level
Race 12
#1 Category Six - should control the pace again tonight
#9 B T Attack - tough horse, the double qualifier will help, the post will not
#5 Lite Me Up - very stale date, need to see him race
#6 Up Front Guy - on the board last five, full field hurts his chances tonight
