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

1ST RACE – (5) FROG POND PRINCESS did not appreciate our gaze week ago, going first-up and backwards. Dips to land of bottom feeders, so we try again.

4TH RACE – (3) THE LAST CHAPTER was not awful in recent Bonus Trot Series. Generally minds manners, that may be enough to dispose of this ensemble.

6TH RACE – (3) CELIA CANTABA has been frequently ‘peeked,’ despite a lack of early speed. If she avoids first-up perils of week ago, she’s as useful as any.     

7TH RACE – (6) PEMBROKE WILDCAT gets another nod, though he’s not gonna get better trip than he had in last. Try again, if for no other reason than price.

10TH RACE – (5) BLACKNSWEET ADDA N goes second off a 10th-month layoff. Just seven starts a season ago, but have to surmise she’s good enough here.

11TH RACE – (1) CAPOZZO takes slip down ladder, which now places him at max of his abilities. Never much of a leaver, but functional if he gets half a trip.
