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

3RD RACE – (4) POWER DREAMING N could not have been uglier after taking all sorts of support in U-S purse debut. Obligated to give him another shot.

4TH RACE – (2) MODERN ROCK AS finds himself well-placed for season bow. Surrounded by speed both sides and could be bit short, but intrigues, so nod.

5TH RACE – (5) I RUN THIS SHOW did outrace his odds in latest and both local tries suggest he can go with these. Has not shown ability to leave, however.

7TH RACE – (3) PELICAN BLUE CHIP has been a tease in past tries, with closing second (to No. 4 here) latest example. Outdraws what he has to beat here.

9TH RACE – (2) TELL ME A JOKE earns another gaze in one of evening’s intriguing races. Some tough trips of late, now sandwiched between two legit foes.

10TH RACE – (2) WESTERN BEACHBOY drilled lesser two back, then had no eight-ball shot. Season-debuting polester may seat everyone, perhaps pocketed.  

12TH RACE – (6) LIMELIGHT BEACH and his seven-figure bankroll return for first local visit since November, ’17. Finale level dirt cheap for him, so we nod.
