MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4

Race 1: 5- Slzburgerslzburger – Was a winner two starts back and could strike again tonight. 4- Charmbo Curiosity – Another that
won two starts ago and looks to be tough. 7- Mustang Tom – Could make the ticket despite the poor post draw. 9- Rocky Regal –
Could grab a piece of the action from the second tier.

Race 2: 1- B Seventeen – Gets the top-call to start the Pick 5. 3- Lexington Avenue – Made the ticket in two of his last three races
and looks to be right there again tonight. 2- Southwind Whiski – Could add value to the ticket.

manners. 1- Top Dollar – Should be a contender from the rail. 6- Wegoferdaprize – Could add value to the exotics.

to have a big shot in here. 5- Copper Coast A – One of several in here that could make the ticket. 6- Daliocity – Has as good of a
shot as any to complete the Superfecta.

Some insights into tonight’s racing program.

1ST RACE – (2) STARS ALIGN A could not sustain first-up move into an odds-on winner in last. Effort quite good, however, now a class dip, shorter route.

3RD RACE – (4) TEXAS TERROR N was caught in fastest mile of the new season, having no shot. Well-placed here in field that’s there for the taking, gaze.

6TH RACE – (5) SMALLTOWNTHROWDOWN earned the nod as soon as he won 5-thru-8 draw in week’s marquee trot. There’s no mystery here, catch him.

7TH RACE – (7) BLAYDE HANOVER does not owe us after wins last two tries. Claimed out of last and tested or class with rotten draw, but we stay anyway.

8TH RACE – (4) AIR STRIKE gets another ‘peek’ after he wins a mid-pack draw in adult pace. Stuffed into two-hole week ago, where he’s not nearly as lethal.

9TH RACE – (3) STORMONT CZAR A could not go with level higher when four-eyeballed in latest. Sort of have to stay as he returns to proven workable class.

11TH RACE – (1) NEW HEAVEN is strictly one to pick off after well-meant try week ago. Can’t vouch for double-digits odds of latest, but can’t go past, either.

——

$2 +/- (thru Tue., Jan. 29) – 15 wins ($87.40)
from 87 ($174) selex (-$86.60, we’re not immune to the sporadic downturn)

highest-priced winner – MALNIFICENT ($24)
lowest-priced winners – CHIP WALTHER/FASHION BYTHEBEACH
($2.80 each)
