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

1^ST RACE – (3) LUKE’S COWBOY comes off credible effort upon arrival from central Jersey, site of both seasonal wins. Improves with better opener draw.

2^ND RACE – (1) SOVEREIGN BANNER N dips and wins draw, so sort of a form endorsee. That said, gonna need to dig up early foot from a confirmed closer.

3^RD RACE – (2) DRUNKEN DESIRE A has two wins in last two seasons, a fact that inspires zero confidence. However, returns into ‘20’ that should not scare.

5^TH RACE – (1) ONE THROUGH TEN remains at same ‘tag’ price. Pylons and speed first try for barn with early-season success. Takes these as far as he can.

8^TH RACE – (3) KEYSTONE WANDA has not raced poorly thrice here off barn change. Class dipper directly inside, but this lass seems competent for these.

9^TH RACE – (3) SHE’SJUSTADELIGHT N did pass a couple late first start after two months of R&R. Rarely seen in this shallow, so surmising she’s leaving.

10^TH RACE – (4) JAG OUT could not last as last week’s, two-speed number ‘peek,’ but remains at a workable level. May have to get used to get front in finale.
