From the Ayers Above – Feb 20th
Race 1: 4- Widemere Maggie – Draws into a race where several could win; this one gets the slight call over the others to take tonight’s opener. 1- KJ’s Foxy Lady – Could be tough from the rail. 5- African Violet – Was a winner last time out but faces tougher competition this time around. 7- Upland Hanover – Could add value to the exotics.
Race 2: 1- TT’s Little Lass – Was a winner two starts back and could strike again tonight. 3- Hillary’s Style – Drops in class and could be tough in here. 5- Nuck Phil – Has been racing well and that rend looks to continue. 2- Puddle Jumper – Draws better tonight and could be in the thick of the action.
Race 3: 4- Kayleigh’s Future – Made the ticket in both of her most recent races; could step up and lead that ticket tonight. 1- Esteemed Members – Looks to do well from the rail. 5- Polly Flower – One of several in here that could make the ticket.
Race 4: 1- A Dandy Bryer – Draws the inside advantage and that could be key to being successful tonight. 9- Dear Caterina – Should get a good trip from the second tier. 7- Fly Me Courageous – Could do well upon coming to Northfield. 6- Sunrise Sunset – Has as good of a shot as any in here to complete the Superfecta.
Race 5: 4- Fox Valley Smooch – Draws into a race...
