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

1ST RACE – (6) SOME PLAYA returns here at same bottom-feeder level he handled two starts ago. There’s not much inside to dissuade him from leaving gate.

2ND RACE – (4) KING’S CROWN LITE has not misbehaved in pair of tries since adding trotting hopples. As with opener choice, expect this one leaving, too.

3RD RACE – (7) PEMBROKE WILDCAT did pass few late after dipping to this level. Same venue means same dilemma, can compete if he can get involved.  

8TH RACE – (7) ACEFORTYFOURAMANDA earned a four-eyeball in her return from brief R&R. Saved ground, slipped out, just missed. Lousy draw again.

9TH RACE – (7) CELIA CANTABA is not for the squeamish, since it’s fair assumption she’s away last here. Useful, but taken hoping race falls apart up front.

10TH RACE – (4) ABRAXAS BLUES N improved in second U-S effort and gets some class relief here. Don’t know about early foot, but could take finale shot.
