Pick 4

Race 9 - OC 32k/N2X - 1m 40yd Dirt

2 - Dixie Pipe (9-2)- Won four in a row, steadily moving up the ladder. Gets a trainer and a jockey upgrade. Can handle the jump.
8 - Spy Story (7-2)- Ness off the cliam.... - 3rd - $1 Tri. paid 231.30
7 - Bridled Quest (5-1)- Won twice earlier in the meet. Sprinting is not his game so draw a line through his last. Very competitive at this level two back. - 2nd - $1 Ex. paid $75.20
9 - Shipwatch (6-1)- Will be gunning from the outside. - Won - $16.60

Race 10 - MSW 20k - Abt. 1 Mile Turf

5 - Ally (9-5)- Third time out for the Motion Crew. Just missed in her last. Will be a bit tighter after that effort, looking for a better closing kick. - 4th
6 - Carol's Tour (6-1)- Form looks spotty, but draw a line through the dirt races and it becomes clear that this one is a turf runner. - 2nd - $1 Ex. paid $20.70
9 - Blush on Cue (4-1)- Finally got on the turf and turned in her first ITM finish. Possible improvement in store 2nd over the blades.
8 - Stirrup Cup (2-1)- Gets Centeno, needs to find her closing kick. - Won - $6.80

Race 11 - Clm 12500 - 1m 40yd Dirt

6 - Stop That Akki (3-1)- Ness off the claim.... Huge jock upgrade. Sports a stamina building 1 mile work since the claim. All systems go. - Won - $6.60
3 - Kathy's Escolha (12-1)- Not sure why Ramos was running this mare on the turf. Back to her preferred surface today. Slight drop in class, hopefully she'll show a little more speed and get her self in the game a bit earlier.

Race 12 - Clm 5000 N1Y - 7f Dirt

1 - Oberalp (9-2)- Slight drop, possible wire to wire threat in a race void of speed. - 2nd
3 - North Bend (10-1)- Seems to be waking up. Extra 16th will help as will Centeno.
7 - Gentlemens' Club (12-1)- New faces often win these dated nickle's late in the meet. - 3rd
9 - Seize (7-2)- Been burning money all meet. Ronnie Allen sees fit and this wouldn't be the first that he has woken up this meet.
