Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet.com players:

3RD RACE – (4) DAMION DIESEL HAHN gets a useful getaway for fourth try off bench. Thus figures closer, need not be that much versus other limited lads.  

4TH RACE – (5) ARMOR HANOVER returns to town while slipping down to bottom-feeder level. Been own worst enemy more than once, swifter than these.  

5TH RACE – (6) BIG CHUTE was last seen in Petticoat Series. A bridesmaid twice down in Philly, may need a way in here but taken to work if able to find way.  

7TH RACE – (5) ONEIDA BLUE CHIP hasn’t done much wrong in her four seasonal starts. Gets free ride and same venue as last week’s down-the-road effort.   

8TH RACE – (3) HANDSOFFMYCHIPS seemed to be in tight quarters last out, having some pace late. Inside duo shouldn’t scare him so perhaps in play here.   

10TH RACE – (8) D G’S ELSA may not get involved from hinterlands, but we’ve chased her often enough. If she wins from there and we miss it, hell to pay.

12TH RACE – (2) SUMMER SIDE has been much better of late after series of awful efforts. Former Sheppard winner is well-placed to get good trip in finale.
