Monday Racing Picks: Will Rogers Downs

Race 1 - PICK: Nocturnal Mission

- In-form trainer/jockey duo of Robertino Diodoro and Ty Kennedy can take the first race with the mare Nocturnal Mission who ran well in defeat last time and can go one better today

Race 2 - PICK: Two The Punch

- Two The Punch arrives on the back of two brave wins and although this is a better race it'd be foolish to write him off when in the form of his life

Race 3 - PICK: Tackson

- Last season's backend efforts would give Tackson a good chance in today's race and if he comes on from his seasonal return as expected he can win again in Rogers County

Race 4 - Bling Springsteen

- The well-named Bling Springsteen let us down last time out when the selection, but has conditions in her favour in this grade and can get off the mark for the second time

Race 5 - PICK: Hoyam

- Steve Asmussen will be able to squeeze a win out of Hoyam soon and today could be the day. The filly showed decent levels on her first two starts and if returning to that standard can get her first win today

Race 6 - PICK: Veronica's Dream

- It's worth chancing Veronica's Dream is fully fit for today's return as she boasts the best recent form with that win last time in August at Evangeline Downs

Race 7 - PICK: Karate Hottie

- Karate Hottie is likely to be a short priced favorite but that's well deserved in this field. She's been so consistent in recent starts and the step up in trip today should see her add another win to her resume

Race 8 - PICK: Leighton Kentucky

- It's anticipated that Leighton Kentucky will be overlooked in the betting market and it's worth taking the value with her today. The selection ran really well here last time and if building on that will surely be in the shake up

Race 9 - PICK: Estilo Femenino

- Steve Asmussen can land another one on the card in the shape of Estile Femenino. This mare has been running well of late and this drop in grade can see her get back on the score board

Race 10 - PICK: Savvy Spender

- Savvy Spender was only narrowly denied last time out at Will Rogers Downs when caught on the line and this drop back in trip will surely suit - she sets a strong standard
