Some insights into tonight’s first-of-the-month racing program for our IdaBet players:
3RD RACE – (3) SKATES N PLATES returns to for first visit since October, ’17. Surmising he tries to outleave both inside foes and take these as far as he can.
6TH RACE – (5) SELL A BIT N offered a crisp close two starts back, needed late room after leaving in last. We’re stubborn enough to try again in distaff derby.
7TH RACE – (1) IMA TRAGEDY N is admittedly a difficult recommend off his recent form. However, sees pole here, so sort of litmus test whether he’s useful.
8TH RACE – (5) FREEZE OUT made wide bid after equipment delay in last, only to flatten late. Enough post relief this time around to see if she can find a way.
10TH RACE – (2) KING’S BARNS has never been a favorite of this missive, but did win last time he had legit getaway. That came against level lesser, though.
11TH RACE – (3) PIECE OF THE ROCK was more than flat in latest, fourth at odds-on. Taken in finale simply figuring can’t be that poor again, or maybe not.
