Fillies and Mares Friday

[cliff]

Selections for Friday July 8:

Race 1

3 Date Worthy - the only claimer looks a bit too sharp for these.
1 Abba Zabra - drops back, hasn't done much since leaving condition claimers.
4 Viking Mia - back on the gate, under performing this season.
2 Wild Nordic - moves back inside, more consideration with a different driver.

Race 2

3 Soaring Cloud - completes the Robin Miller double.
2 Silky Sailor - the 11yo may have too many miles on her now.
9 Happy Occasion - should score with a rail trip from here.
4 Cinderella Blue - best of the rest.

Race 3

1 Anastasia Wildfire - will smoke these if she's ready; Mr. Miller on fire.
5 High Heels N Spurs - very sharp 4yo.
2 Can't Fence Me In - a few steps behind the top two.
4 Endless Vacation - will leave for position.

Race 4

#4 I Love Being Right - an easier trip puts her in the winners circle.
#1 Cooby N - won from the rail four back.
#8 Hawthorn Maria - no post, will be a player next week.
#7 I Am Samsational - has not been herself lately.

Race 5

#2 She'sa Town Girl - easy winner if she had a real driver.
#6 Grace Of Hearts - driver change may help her out of her funk.
#9 Karrydale Charm - no excuse last week.
#1 Ann's Win'n Design - lives in this class.

Race 6

#2 ICU Roller - don't bet the farm, but she should have enough for these.
#9 Paint Wheel - would like her more with a different post/driver.
#3 Fantastic Fran - disappointing last week.
#1 Shady Attack - could get a piece with the rail.

Race 7

#6 Emma Rose Ben - hidden form in last week's line, could win at a price.
#2 Storms Never Last - form a bit off last week, should rebound.
#5 Deena - very sharp, but it's much tougher from here.
#7 Jessies Band - I really like her, waiting for a post.

Race 8

#2 Royal Cam Osborne - best post for a long while, been waiting for a chance to play her.
#4 Moira's Intended - nice effort last week, closer tonight.
#3 Scandalous - a bit short in last two, could be a pattern.
#1 Paris H - shot to finally hit the board from here.

Race 9

#2 Princessoftheball - doing good work every week, drops and moves inside.
#1 Lima Adore - another who hasn't had a post for a while.
#8 Dream Misty - caught in a very fast mile last week, drops but no post tonight.
#7 Game Danica - can compete at this level, but not from out here.

Race 10

#9 Shez Good Osborne - a ringer looking for a payday.
#4 Longlegacy - would be an easy pick without Shez Good in the race.
#3 Admirals Diamond - hits the board too often to ignore.
#1 Caribean Cruise - a regular driver would do wonders for her.

Race 11

#3 Coupon Lady - hard to go against her until she moves up.
#5 Mindy Love Brown - about the only competition, it wouldn't shock to see her upset.
#2 Misster Wilker - perhaps the class in the field, should need a race or two.
#4 Campside Angel - steps outside her class, but that was an impressive win last week.

Race 12

#2 Can Doit Forever - back from Columbus, should be easy money against this group.
#1 Lisa Character - something been ailing her, qualified sharply.
#3 Sand Bird -
#6 Gram Of Gold -

Race 13

#1 Paint Tina - beaten favorite should have an easier time tonight.
#3 Saratoga's Best - drops and gains a positive post.
#2 On The Money - back to a much better level for this one.
#4 Holdzemfromfloppin - very game last week, too much class inside her tonight.

Good Luck

Cliff, thanks for the excellent handicapping. I was able to cash a $20 win ticket on #6 Grace of Hearts in the fifth race (10 x $31.80) and had a $1 exacta on the combination of #6 Grace of Hearts and #8 Whoville for $402. Total winnings in this one race alone: $720.

I had recalled how Whoville had been one of the sharpest mares on the grounds at Northfield either last year or the year before, but obviously my confidence wasn't THAT high because I only use a $1 exacta. The speed duel between the #1 and #2 set up the rest of the race.

Again, thanks for the picks.

Thanks TR,

Actually I thought that was the toughest race of the night to call, and I sat it out.
