From the “Ayers Above WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 25
Race 1: 5- Rose Run Ida – Took the hopples off in her last start and scored easily, the equipment change could make the difference in her. 3- Count On Rosey –
She has a good amount of early speed to contend with and that makes her tough. 1- Music Teacher– Gets a good draw to the inside this week and she could get
the perfect trip. 8- Katy Did – Should get a good trip from the outside.
Race 2: 5- Cowboy Blue– Has been racing extremely well from the outside, tonight he gets a better post and should get a good trip. 1- Graceful Jarmbro –
Looks to be tough at this level of competition. 6- Father Julio – Made a break right at the wire last week and was placed, if he can mind his manners he will be
closer. 2- Frank The Fish – Could add value from the inside.
Race 3: 3- California Love – Gets a good draw tonight and faces easier company than her last two starts, could be tough. 2- This Year’s Best – She has a good
amount of early speed and transitioned well from two to three, watch out. 5- Miss Rigs – Looks to be the value play underneath this week after a successful first
start of the year.
