Some insights into tonight’s last-of-the-month racing program for our IdaBet players:

1^ST RACE – (3) CHERRY BLISS has been thrice third in her last three tries, which ought of make her governess of this crowd. Has to be as useful as any here.

2^ND RACE – (2) DEUCES FOR CHARITY had some tight-quarters interest two starts ago then went wrong way in latest. Edge with much better getaway now.

4^TH RACE – (4) I’M THE REAL MAJOR is probably better-suited taking a dip back to bottom claimers, but draws better this time. Foes appear to be sketchy.

5^TH RACE – (2) GLAMORGAL doesn’t owe us after gutty, two-move win, picking off fave when ‘peeked’ in last. Remains solid, low-end claimer, so we stay.

6^TH RACE – (3) REASONABLE FORCE was going nowhere fast in against back-class foe last out. Taken in iffy ‘Welcome State of the Union Venaglia’ event.

9^TH RACE – (1) SHUTTHEFRONTDOOR is a stone closer who wins draw. Automatically gets her closer, but there double very be first-up trip in store for her.

10^TH RACE – (4) ARI ALLSTAR couldn’t reach from pocket in last, though probably needed more room. Surmise he can go at this level, gets nodded in finale.

$2 +/- (thru Sun., Jan. 28) – 20 wins ($209.80)

from 98 ($196) selex (+$13.80, funds dwindling, but logic remains solid)

highest-priced winner – MORE THAN MANY ($21.80)

lowest-priced winner – SOTO ($2.70)
