Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet.com players:
1ST RACE – (1) NORTHERN ASSASSIN A figures to be nothin’ more than low-hangin’ fruit here. Eight-hole to pole with solid work lines at this level, gazed.
3RD RACE – (3) UNBEAMLIEVEABLE chased from pocket upon arrival in last, outgamed by inside foe here. Surmising this one is gonna be forwardly-placed.
5TH RACE – (1) FERNLEIGH REBEL N is another moving seven places in. Couldn’t hack second move as fave in last, gets much easier route this time around.
6TH RACE – (2) ROCKIN’ THE BOYS A continues post-relief prattle angle, this one inside half-dozen venues. Last effort more than credible, can handle these.
7TH RACE – (3) ACEFORTYFOURAMANDA has been a frequent object of our affections, despite spoiling useful trips in last couple. We’re in forgiving mood.
9TH RACE – (4) HIGHLANDBEACHYCOVE arrives from Canada in good form, winning twice in last three. Owns small-track resume that should work here.
