From the “Ayers Above MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 9
Race 1: 2- Jojo’s Journey – Could be a price play tonight, first off the claim for trainer Brian Loney. 5- Ulf Hanover – Gets some post
relief this week and should race back very well. 6- Top Dollar – Could be a factor with a clean effort. 1- Fantasy League – Draws the rail
this week after a tough effort from the outside last out, expect a strong effort.
Race 2: 4- Archetto Hanover – Will be coming from off the pace late as there could be a pace duel up front. 2- This Baby Rocks –
Dropped to this class last time out and handled it with ease, has the speed to set the pace. 5- Stevie Diamonds – Has a little bit of early
speed to contend with, will be up front early. 1- Reggie Raider – Could add value from the inside.
Race 3: 2- Buddy Hally – Takes a big drop in class after a roughed up trip last out, expect more at a short price. 6- Pay The Winner –
Won very easily against easier company last out, watch the tote board this week. 4- Gale Force Hanover – Could be on the ticket late
especially if he uses his powerful closing kick.
Race 4: 3- Caribou Beach – Is one of my price plays of the day, class drop combined with post improvement could garner a victory.
1- Sassy Osborne – Another with a big shot in here. 2- Twin B Stingray – Another that gets post help after a strong effort last out.
4- Think Bigger – Has as good of a shot as any in here to complete the Superfecta.
Race 5: 1- Tsunami Seelster – Manages to get perfect trips just about every week, expect another clean effort. 8- Timeless Utah –
Has the ability to be prominently placed on this ticket. 3-...
