Best Bet - (2) REEL - Race 7
Spot Play - (3) STEVIE SEELSTER - Race 5

 
Race 1 - (1) TYLERS BEACH BOY gets a big post position swing in his favour today and I’ll side with him to turn the tables on (4) GO MUD who has the knack for working out good trips racing near the front and should be in the mix again this afternoon. (2) TUITION MONEY gets St Louis back here and that puts him squarely in the picture. This is a good race to price shop.
 
Race 2 - (2) CASHMERE IVY sat a trip and notched a huge upset last week. With her improving form, she could double up here. (4) IDEAL SPACE is always in the hunt and the slightly better post here could make the difference for her; Exacta factor. (1) KINNDERUNTOUCHABLE is likely to land in the Tri here starting from the rail.
 
Race 3 - (3) UP TO SPEC had a nightmarish trip last week. He should be able to find the pylons early this time and he gets top billing. (1) MACHED UP exits the Austin Memorial, draws inside and gets St Louis. There is plenty to like there. (4) JIM WHO should be closing late to take another share here.
 
Race 4 - (5) TEAM LEADER has hit her best stride racing at Dresden and a threepeat looms here. (2) MACH SHARK was a winner last time she drew a post as good as today’s and she should be the main threat. (6) KAHLUA MORNING couldn’t seal the deal when she had an inside post. I’ll use her underneath here.
 
Race 5 - (3) STEVIE SEELSTER tried to leave last week but others had the same idea. She should be able to clear these quickly and once she makes front, she should be gone. (2) SEE THE DELIGHT was no match for a dominant winner but she should contend for a spot in the Exacta here. (1) SWEET SUN can sit a nice following trip here and finish on the bottom of the Tri.
 
Race 6 - (5) WEST RIVER CINDY is in top form and she has a good chance to win her third straight despite drawing a worse post this week. (4) ENCHANTED MISSION was a good 2nd to a predictable winner here last week and he should be the main danger. (1) AVUNCULAR is sure to set the pace again but I’m not sure he can repel the likely challenge of the choice in the third quarter.
 
Race 7 - (2) REEL goes for Team St Louis off the claim here and he is sure to get sent on a speed mission, taking advantage of his good draw. (1) GRITS N GRAVY should leave with the choice and sit a nice trip and he could be a pocket rocket late in the mile. (3) CAYO LOCO steps up in class but she is coming off a big win and she shouldn’t be taken lightly.
 
Race 8 - (1) ON THE TAKE comes up tagged here and owner/trainer/driver Rankin isn’t afraid to send one. He should go down the road vs. these. (2) BUNKHOUSE BRAWL is likely to track in the choice’s pocket throughout and he can complete a chalky Exacta. (6) A BIT A BILLIE tried first up last time to no avail. She can pass a few of these this time and take a share.
 
Race 9 - This race seems to set up for a stalker type and I’ll give (3) LARJON LESTER a slight nod. (5) TERRA COTTA LAD notched an upset last week here in a sharp performance and he should be a major player right back. (2) CANTCOUNTMEOUT will be racing near the front again and he should stick around to land in the Tri.
 
Race 10 - (1) IONIA couldn’t get past Caulfield last week but in this short field she can control her own destiny leaving from the rail. (2) MASS BALANCE figures to be the other leaver and these two could race 1-2 throughout. (3) MAGICS LUCKY CHARM is capable of better and she should start quicker here. Give her a look for the bottom of the Tri.
 
Race 11 - (1) TOWNSHIP WILLY draws his first good post in forever and he meets a field that he can beat here; down the road. (2) FOX VALLEY ROLLIN will also benefit from post relief and he should be an Exacta factor. (3) BAYONET is another who figures mainly because he gets a better post. Three starts back he was only a neck short after starting from the 3-hole.
