RECOMMENDED CHOICES

# 3 REVENGE TEA 5/1

# 1 BLUE GENE SONG 6/1

# 8 K D LA BREW 6/1

I think REVENGE TEA is a respectable choice. Will most likely come out sharp - I have liked the way this filly has moved speedily to the front end recently. This pony must be bet upon at the expected big odds. Look for a strong outing with the class drop. BLUE GENE SONG - Has been running soundly lately and will probably be on or close to the front end early on. The class figure of today's race is much lower than her last contest. K D LA BREW - The quick return to the races points to a formidable effort today.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES

# 2 PHANTOM STRIKE 4/1

# 1 SILVER VALLEY ROAD 6/1

# 6 STONEY BURKE 5/2

I like PHANTOM STRIKE here. Overall the speed figures of this pony look quite good in this affair. Don't overlook this gelding in your bets - very dangerous with Butler aboard. Posted a sound Equibase speed fig in the most recent race. Can run another good one in this contest. SILVER VALLEY ROAD - Risk takers should note that this animal runs with second time Lasix today. STONEY BURKE - With a formidable 64 average speed figure at the distance, seems well suited for today's contest. This racer has a wonderful win percent in dirt sprints.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES

# 6 BOB'S MARLEY 5/2

# 8 WASSON ISLAND 8/5

# 2 DANUBE'S HAWK 8/1

I give the nod to BOB'S MARLEY here. Has quite good speed figures and has to be considered for a wager in this contest. Must be considered based on the competitive speed rating put up in the last outing. Must be given a chance given the class of races run recently. WASSON ISLAND - She has been moving quite well recently while recording very strong speed figures. Recent figs for the jockey - 21 win percent - make this filly stand out in this field. DANUBE'S HAWK - With Shepherd aboard her, this mare ought to be able to break out early here. This trainer has done well lately with entries racing at this distance and surface.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES

# 7 CATCH A STAR 3/1

# 5 BEWITCHING GEM 10/1

# 4 BEAUTIFUL INSIGHT 4/1

CATCH A STAR has a respectable shot to take this race. Is hard not to consider based on Equibase speed figs which have been respectable - 61 avg - of late. Reliable average speed figs in dirt sprint races make this animal a definite contender. Win percentage under similar conditions may be the key for this mare. BEWITCHING GEM - With Rivera on top her, this mare ought to be able to break out sharply in this race. Has to be given a chance against this group displaying very strong figures recently and an average speed rating of 60 under similar conditions. BEAUTIFUL INSIGHT - Will more than likely be one of the early speedsters of the group going into the halfway point of the contest. Could best this group of horses based on the speed figure - 63 - of her last race.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES

# 3 MISTER MERZ 3/1

# 5 SUDDENLY SILVER 6/1

# 7 RICHLAND CREEK 5/1

MISTER MERZ looks to be the wager in here. Will most likely compete very well in the pace contest which bodes well with this group of animals. He should have a strong outing versus this easier field of horses. With a very good 91 speed fig last time out, will clearly be a factor in this contest. SUDDENLY SILVER - Bell has a win percentage of 23 over the last 30 days. Has the look of a money-making play. RICHLAND CREEK - Shows signs of the look of a lucrative play, averaging a solid 89 speed rating which is one of the best in this field. With a nice Equibase class figure average of 103, has one of the top class advantages in this group of horses.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES

# 2 PURSUE A DREAM 7/2

# 5 AKA LILY'S LAD 10/1

My pick in this race is PURSUE A DREAM. Looks formidable for the conditions of this contest today, showing solid figures in turf sprint races as of late.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES

# 1 MAD ABOUT FUZZ 4/1

# 2 ZIGAWATT 7/2

He has posted solid numbers under today's conditions and will almost certainly fare well versus this group of animals.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES

# 3 TRS MABEE A HOT SHOT 4/1

# 1 KAT KORA 9/2

# 6 SIX BUDS FOR YOU 3/1

TRS MABEE A HOT SHOT is the most respectable bet in this race. This horse has some longshot angles going for him. Has to be given consideration as he drops to compete against this softer lot. With a strong 60 speed fig last time out, will unquestionably be a factor in this contest. KAT KORA - Has been racing in the most competitive company of the group of horses in this race lately.
