TUESDAY MINI BITS by Sugar Doyle

R1 PP8 – Dips in class and fitting well with these; a PICK 5 possibility.

R2 PP4 – This mare is always in the hunt; a strong PICK 4 play here.

R3 PP2 – Major class relief and will look for the drop and pop tonight.

R4 PP1 – This grit-grinder always shows up; a huge shot with these.

R5 PP3 – Razor sharp filly has won 5 of her last 6; the HI5 must play.

R6 PP2 – Claimed in latest and now picks up LPR; could be go time.

R7 PP9 – Moving in from the AE spot for PP3; LPR in the race bike.

R8 PP6 – Picks up Rooney and does fit well in this wide-open affair.

R9 PP1 – She has to stay closer, but does fit well with these; beware.

R10 PP6 – Likely blasting off the gate for LPR; a big shot in this one.

R11 PP4 – Leaves right behind the car with gate speed; a HI5 player.

The Raceway at Western Fair District will once again celebrate the season of giving with its sixth annual Drivers’ Holiday Challenge, taking place on Tuesday, Dec. 9 from 5pm-10pm.
