Maywood Friday, May 9th
 
1st race
                
6-  Buck Knife…  Razor sharp in defeat last week using his speed.  A little bit better post.
5-  La Cabana… Third or better in last six including a pair of wins.  Seems the one to beat.
2-  Heath… Improving third and may be getting back to the high level he was at earlier.
9-  Fox Valley Recluse… Game first-over winner here last week and sitting pretty in 2nd tier.

2nd race

4-  Drop My Candee… Three-wide rally fell short as the chalk but wasn’t far off.  Edge.
6-  My Cary Grant N… Swept four-wide off a closing bias in the slop to win.  Works harder.
5-  Mighty Mason… Rough trip coming out of same race as above.  Best takes this.
3-  Trillium Path… Back after a layoff for a good layoff barn and gets Oosting in the bike.

3rd race

4-  Place Of Destiny… Drops in cheap enough where a well-timed move could win at value.
2-  Chicachicaboomboom… Won easy returning an $8.00 mutuel.  One to beat again.
3-  Lexington… Drops $8K first start back from Florida for a winning barn based here.
1-  The Ultimateweapon… Awoke to win last and the rail puts in a bright light again.

4th race

2-  Speedster Sahbra… Threw a nice race and now adds Oosting for a good inside post.
7-  Easy Road Again… Was too far back which could very well be the case tonight.
3-  Royce Raider… Popped off a perfect trip to win going away.  Barn has been on a roll.
5-  Sure Dream… Have seen this barn’s stock perform well since returning on local scene.

5th race

7-  Absolutely Ed… Overcame road trouble to miss in a close call.  Clear sailing wins.
6-  Joe Momma… Used twice and defeated for the second time as the chalk in as many starts.
8-  Jordon Wins… Exploded off a fast pace to win going away.  Right place, right time?
4-  O Prettyboyfloyd… Sharp effort on the lead in last.  Getting there will be the key tonight.

6th race

2-  OG’s Bowchitski P… Been waiting for this one to pop.  Drops and moves inside here.
8-  Call Me Roy… Likely favorite from anywhere but here.  Can still get up at a fair price.
7-  Junk Yard Jones… Wasn’t as sharp last week but the effort was there.  Tougher post.
5-  Fox Valley Tempest… Caught out first-over and the trip got the best of him.  In shape.

7th race

1-  Taylorlane Ace… Drops and draws the rail in a wake-up situation for new driver.
7-  One Park Place… Bows at four after a solid ICF three-year-old campaign.  Top barn here.
5-  Determine This… Bows at three for E. Miller off a pair of solid Florida qualifiers.
3-  Ben’s JD… Tops in this field as far as form goes right now.  Well-timed move wins.

8th race

1-  Rio’s Z Tam… Looked real good winning here last week and now draws the rail.
9-  Cappuccino Blaze… Had no excuse in last start.  Simply outclosed.  Rates high again.
6-  Caps Classic… Former class is starting to flash some form for a winning team.
5-  Wolf Creek Willie… Drops back down to a winning level.  Needs a well-timed move.

9th race

7-  Wesley Snip… Moved too late.  Tough post again and that’ll provide the value here.
3-  The Panefactor… Took a mark here earlier and a runner-up in a sub 52 mile at Balmoral.
5-  Well To Do Guru… He’s better than average and a neck shy of winning his second straight.
1-  Indy Dreamer… Got a wake-up call in last.  This is a tougher spot but a strong entry.

10th race

2-  Perfect Tattler… Back on the local scene where his last win took place a year ago.
3-  Detail’s Baby Boy… Tough trip photo finish loss may paint him as the one to beat.
5-  Traider Raider… Hasn’t shown much when not on or near the lead.  May be leaving.
4-  Bon Eire’s Squire… Seeks third straight win against a lot tougher.  Offers value.

11th race

5-  Dancingwithwolves… Even efforts coming out of some quick Balmoral miles.  Rates nod.
4-  Jurassic Hanover… A 14-time winner last year still looking for his first of the year.
3-  Raps Big Boy… Drops out of an Ohio Sire Stake into a soft condition.  Handles the half.
2-  Mr Cam Man… Won last with a lot of guts.  Could need an easier trip for an encore.

12th race

7-  Master Garrett… Drops back down to the level where he tallied a win two starts back.
3-  Town Bullet… Toss out his last and he’s been rock solid with better.  One to beat.
2-  Fox Valley Target… Okay third off the claim and figures to be in the hunt throughout.
5-  Versary N… In too tough last start and does have some winning lines to show for.

13th race

2-  MVP… Wasn’t far off and now moves to the inside where he could make an earlier move.
4-  Babyfacenelson… Set the tone as the chalk and came up short.  One to beat again.
8-  Starlite Player… Perfect trip winner moves to the 8-hole but barn is on the upswing.
1-  Western Deal… Rail trip likely looking for a spark.  Can’t rule out.
