DRF HARNESS
Race 4 - $50,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Best Bet: UPFRONTLUCKYCAROL (9th)
Spot Play: STAR RUFFNREADY (5th)
Race 1
(8) MEADOW SEELSTER self destructed last week in the Autumn Final, but should appreciate this softer group. (2) ETERNAL QUEST finally draws well in his third career start and is poised for a big effort. (7) JAYPORT ALL MUSCLE has hit the board in each of his last two and is a good option for the triactor.
Race 2
(2) DAZZLE N DELIGHT has been a consistent threat in this class and just missed last week, by a nose. (5) JABAS LUCK has been at her best as of late and returns to this circuit. She draws inside and offers excellent gate-speed. (7) SHANGHAI MIMI was a winner last week at London, comes from the Puddy barn and gets McNair aboard.
Race 3
(5) VANCE BAYAMA was a winner in his latest by over four lengths. He draws well once again and remains at this level. (2) AMERICAN ISLAND comes from the Moreau barn, moves onto this circuit and is capable of dropping multiple seconds. He's versatile and has a good record this season. (3) ARRIVED LATE comes from the Johnson barn and has been knocking on the door as of late.
Race 4
(2) TURBO MACH might offer a price in his career debut, but qualified nicely and appears to have some upside in this wide-open tilt. (1) NINETYMILE HANOVER draws the rail and has hit the board in three of his last four. (3) TYMAL PRONTO was a game second two back and shows back-to-back miles in 1:54.
Race 5
(2) STAR RUFFNREADY is a price option in this dash as he ships in and gets Zeron aboard. He has loads of back class and races in this bottom condition. (5) STRONG HOPE suffered a tough trip last week, but draws well in here. (6) OUR MOJO finished third last week after utilizing his gate-speed and is rounding into form in his third start off the bench.
Race 6
(1) TOSCA draws inside this week after finishing second by a neck last start. (4) ILLSEEUINCOURT closed well last week and displayed the speed needed. (7) BODY TALK closed to finish third last week from a post 10 start. She comes from a top barn and will offer a low price once again.
Race 7
(9) PIERAZ is a price option with Jamieson back aboard in this bottom class. He has the speed and comes from a high percentage barn. (10) NOBESTBFOR has hit the board in two of his last three and comes from the Baillargeon barn. (8) WHIPPET GOOD has nearly $1 million worth of back class and gets Hudon aboard this week.
Race 8
(8) SI SEMALU has posted back-to-back wins at this level and appears to be the horse to beat. (6) JAC SPADE finished a game second last week in this class and gets Christoforou back aboard. (7) RAVE ON is the picture of consistency at this level and is a good option for the triactor.
Race 9
(4) UPFRONTLUCKYCAROL was a game second last week and has been racing at her best for trainer Maxwell. (7) HER NAME IS LOLA drops in class, shows the speed and may offer a fair price. She's capable of a bounce back effort and has five wins this season. (5) SMARTY PANTS doesn't like to win, but is a logical option for the traictor.
Race 10
(8) KIKISKISSINKOUSIN was an open length winner last week in this class and has won four of her last five. (2) BEST RISQUE draws inside, comes from the Fellows barn and has been a consistent top threat at this level. (7) A REAL COMMITMENT suffered a tough trip last week in this class, but draws better tonight and has a terrific overall record this season.
