Saturday October 25 picks

Race 1

#4 ONE MORE HUG seemed to get back to her best last week with an impressive half-length defeat in 1:51.3. #3 COVERGIRLPATTYANN has been facing unusually tough fields recently and should fit nicely here. #1 MAJOR TRAP fits if she handles the transition to the one-turn mile.
Suggested bet: Daily Double – 3,4 w/ 5,7

Race 2

#5 KOALA KAT can perfectly cap a terrific meet with two more wins. #7 PRETTY MAY FLOWERS looms a major danger in her Colonial debut. #3 DREAMANDA likes the track.
Suggested bet: Pick-3 – 5,7 w/ 3,5 w/ 4

Race 3

#5 FOUR STARZ HORNDOG looks like a legitimate heavy favorite in this division after a terrific sophomore season. #3 MINNESOTA MARY has been rock-solid all meet long. #2 PINK SWEATER can win on her best day but this has been a rough meet for her.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 3,4,8

Race 4

#4 CAVIAR KISSES shouldn’t have much trouble winning right back after a nice win in this condition Tuesday. #1 ROSE RUN JUMBO has several solid tries against similar this meet. #6 ALEX ON LASER ROAD is the only three-time winner in the race.
Suggested bet: Pick-4 – 4 w/ 1,5 w/ 1,2,4,7 w/ 7,8,9

Race 5

#1 RAZZLE DAZZLE ME seems to have gotten good in his last two races. A repeat of Tuesday’s effort would result in a repeat win. #5 JOYFUL SPORT has two straight photo finish wins. Another would be no surprise. #3 SILVER DUCK should be finishing fast.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 1,3,5

Race 6

#7 TACTICAL ADVANTAGE picked up his fourth win of the meet, and second at this condition, last week. #4 T V SHOW KOSMOS is showing plenty of signs of life late in his 10-year-old year. The 53-time winner is obviously good enough. #2 IN WAY TOO DEEP destroyed easier earlier in the meet but couldn’t quite handle tougher Wednesday.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 2,4,7

Race 7

#7 JUST BELIEVE IN ME couldn’t handle substantially tougher but picked up a win and a place at this level earlier in the meet. #8 CINCY CHI LIZZIE was flying late against similar Tuesday. #9 MOONLITEBILLANDBOB should be dangerous at this level.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 7,8,9

Race 8

#7 CASHMERE has been facing tougher all meet, with some success. #3 LADY SAINT was a good second in arguably the toughest nw2 trot of the season last week. #6 COTTON BLOSSOM never got untracked last week but has shown flashes.
Suggested bet: Pick-3 – 3,7 w/ 1,2,3 w/ 3

Race 9

#2A BOSS OUTLAW was a very good third against the pacers on the grounds last week. #1A FIRST RATE is good right now and that 1:50.2 mile here last year jumps off the page. #3 BLUERIDGE FINANCE did well against the top contenders last year.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 2 w/ 1,3

Race 10

#3 ROMPAWAY ALVIN proved his superiority in this series in the first two legs. The absence of main rival Electric Chicken only helps the cause. #5 MABLESIMAMAZED was a good second behind the favorite last week, just inches ahead of #4 IMPRESSIVE JILL.
Suggested bet: Daily Double – 3,5 w/ 9,10

Race 11

#9 JAMES LYON HALL should appreciate the class drop. #10 ISLAND ZORRO is stuck on an epic losing streak but is clearly talented enough. #2 ETHICAL HANOVER might have needed his last and is clearly good enough on his best day.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 2,9,10
