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

1ST RACE – (3) UNCLE LILE A returns here for fourth try off barn change. Far from prolific winner, should step around inside two before outside fave arrives.

2ND RACE – (3) CHUCARO ACERO BC is not what he used to be (we can relate). Back here as a ‘rock bottom’ and draws better than others in same dinghy.   

3RD RACE – (3) JUSTICE MY WAY has not raced regularly in quite some time before tonight. Previous from outer post wasn’t bad and these there for taking.

6TH RACE – (2) HOOVES ON FIRST did get the gaze in last when slipping to this level. First-up third then and surmising she gets off seasonal schneid in here.  

9TH RACE – (2) CHEYENNE TRIENGEL tries it second after barn change, showing speed before tiring. Another ‘poor winner,’ though figures leaving tonite.

10TH RACE – (5) DOJEA SOLO goes as same bat time, same channel, same bat venue and same bat class as last week’s four-eyeball. Speed, fade, another shot.

Starznheaven remained undefeated at Plainridge Park after scoring his third consecutive top-class win when he went from worst to first in the blink of an eye to win the $16,000 Winners-Over Handicap pace on Monday afternoon (June 18).

Starting from post eight, driver Greg Merton hit the pylons last while Mysharona Bluechip (Eddie Davis Jr.) and Kenrick N (Ron Cushing) were engaged in a knock-down, drag-out fight for the lead. Those two went at it to the quarter in :26.1 and the half in :53.3 before Mysharona Bluechip pulled away from Kenrick N up the backside while Quick Shot (Drew Campbell) and Starznheaven moved up on the outside at the three-quarters in 1:21.

At the top of the last turn Starznheaven tipped three-deep around Quick Shot and was under a full head of steam. With a high-line in the left hand and minor urging with the right, Merton gave Starznheaven his head and the horse responded by scooting away from the pack to a four-length victory in a new lifetime mark.

It was the eighth win of the year and 30^th lifetime for Starznheaven ($4.20) who has now banked $79,375 this year for owners Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, Donald Emond and Lawrence Karr. The 6-year-old son of Rock N Roll Heaven is in the midst of a career year.

The time of 1:49.4 was the fastest race at Plainridge Park since Givenupdreaming won by three lengths in 1:49.3 on July 5, 2016. Givenupdreaming was also owned by Burke-Weaver-Bruscemi.

2.30 – Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) 

BENBATL
This race is not often won by an outsider and I am going for Benbatl here. He stays a mile and one furlong (1800m) so Ascot’s stiff, straight mile (1600m) will really suit. He has also won fresh before and, with Saeed bin Suroor horses hitting form, I think this will be good bet to start your Royal Ascot.

3.05 – Coventry Stakes (Group 2)
CALYX
John Gosden’s horses are running well at the moment and I think it says something that he has selected this horse for this race, one of the best two-year-old contests of the season. He was an impressive winner first time out, despite being a bit green, and there will be plenty of improvement.

3.40 – King’s Stand Stakes (Group 1)
LADY AURELIA – Bet of the day
I was impressed when she won this race as a three-year-old last year as it is not often won by a horse that age, so now she is four years old she will be even stronger. She will have been set out for this race and looks a rock-solid proposition.

4.20 – St James’s Palace Stakes (Group 1)
WITHOUT PAROLE 
He won his last race in not a flashy style but he likes to make the jockey work hard and keep a bit up his sleeve. There is definitely more to come from him and is trained by the man in-form, John Gosden..
