Some insights into tonight’s first-of-month racing program for our IdaBet.com players:

1ST RACE – (5) TOMEI SEELSTER invades off Northfield win. Half these ladies made there last start elsewhere, this one worth shot in hard-to-figure opener.

2ND RACE – (1) ARRAKIS is just a 1-fer this season, but takes class dip and always been able to leave gate. No mystery, so taken to take these as far as he can.

3RD RACE – (3) McCLINCHIE N has had enough chances versus better foes than these. Now bottom feeder, so by condition, need not be much to handle them.  

4TH RACE – (3) MAJOR WAR has been opposing better across river, having minimal to show for it. Not a prolific winner, surmising he fits against lowest level.

6TH RACE – (3) DEDI’S DRAGON went evenly after about month off. Now wins draw for those in for higher claiming price, so earns timid endorsement here.

8TH RACE – (6) DONGL RUNDLSCRK N has not been simple to figure out since U-S arrival. Seems to have ability, tries a fresh set of hands this time around.    

9TH RACE – (6) ZOOMING hasn’t been in this dirt cheap in forever, if ever. Can outleave inside quintet, or not. Regardless, he’s substantially swiftest of these.
