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

3RD RACE – (2) GIRLY COCKTAIL tries a four-turn miles this time around and generally minds her manners. That, and decent draw make her as useful as any.

5TH RACE – (2) ANNAPOLIS HALL has awful win profile, losing 32-of-34 tries over past two seasons. He does, however, outdraw main foes, so we take shot.

6TH RACE – (4) PEMBROKE WILDCAT did not easiest of trips in last after being forced wide in final turn. Has disappointed us before, but need not be much.

7TH RACE – (4) CADILLAC PHIL had no taker for 25-large, which should not have surprised anyone. Price is halved this time around versus very blank foes.

8TH RACE – (6) SWAN FOREVER hits town off an improved Pocono effort and intrigues. Scheduled to race here earlier this month, scratched with med issue.  

9TH RACE – (5) CHAPTER TOO has been quite solid of late, including last-out, two-move second this level. Slapped around a recent series consolation crowd.

From the “Ayers Above WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 16
Race 1: 4- Barn Yard Judy – Draws into a race where several could win; this one gets the slight call over the others to take tonight’s opener. 2- Erie – Is the
1st racing foal out of Baba S and has been flawless thus far not making any break; she gets a good draw and seems to be improving. 3- Conway Surprize –
Could be a factor with a clean effort. 8- Ashley Freedom – Will light up the exotics from post eight, don’t leave off the ticket.

Race 2: 7- Ultimate Winner – Could be victorious upon coming to Cleveland. 3- Lima Legend – Looks to be tough at this level of competition, throw out
the last start after being parked the mile. 5- Moneydontbuyulove – Comes back to Northeast Ohio after a few hit or miss starts at other facilities, look for
improvement. 1- S F Scorpion – Draws well towards the inside and could strike after making a break last time out.

Race 3: 4- Stud Alley – Was scratched in what would’ve been her last start in 2017, if she goes in her qualifying time it could beat these, layoff is worry.
1- Kayla Jade – Finished second last time out and could be right there again tonight. 5- Secret Swan – Made the ticket in three of his last four races and could
be right there again tonight.

Race 4: 8- No Pets – Added Lasix back in April and now gets the driving services of Wrenn; could be the value play of the night. 2- Johnny G’s Star – Another
with a big shot in here. 3- Smell That Rock – Draws well towards the inside this week, has some late closing kick that will make him tough. 5- Big Town Joe –
Has as good of a shot as any in here to complete the...
