BALMORAL
1/2: 2w, + closers
ANIGHTWITHWILMA - Left from post 8 and was parked to the lead in :28 4/5, had to accelerate to meet a challenger and paced a :27 3/5 second quarter, held the place gamely
MONTICELLO
1/2: 9w, ++ speed
1/1: 6w, no bias
12/31: 9w, ++ speed, off track
HOWMUCHUBENCH - Trotter had post 6, followed cover wide from third over and finished sharply to win against a significant speed bias
PASSION STARLET - Left from post 8 and was parked the mile without cover, held well
CRYSTAL SIZZLER - Trotter had post 7, left and tucked, made a nice middle-move to reach the leader and held the place gamely behind the bias-aided 6-5 winner
DOVER
1/2: 5w, no bias
1/1: 3w, no bias
THE SHEPHERD*** - Trotter had a tough parked out trip before finding a tuck before the three quarters, held okay considering
COME TOGETHER*** - Was parked the mile without cover from post 6 and dug in for the sharp win
IDEALIST*** - 10-year-old claimer went first over and destroyed the field
DREAMLUCK - Left from post 6 and was parked to the lead in :27 3/5, set a pressured pace hounded by the tough 3-5 winner and weakened; price factor in exotics
HOT STREAK HANOVER - Had post 6 but was 8th and on the move at the quarter, made up good ground through the middle-half, brushed three wide off weak cover and flattened out but only lost by 2 lengths in a respectable effort
NORTHFIELD
1/2: 5w, no bias
1/1: 7w, + speed
FULLY LOADED GUN*** - Left and was parked two turns off a quick half, finished 2nd behind the 1-2 winner
THE MEADOWS
1/2: 1w, + closers, off track
FANTASY CHARACTER - Paced a big middle-half uncovered from post 8, wore down the leader but was out-kicked on the money by the favorite over a track that was tiring and favored covered up horses
POMPANO
1/1: 5w, no bias
12/31: 6w, + speed
THE GENERAL - Three deep leaving from post 7 and used hard early, held well
*** = extra-sharp preferred plays

ONE NINE NINE raced quite wide en route to a commendable second behind future stakes winner Man Stuff the only time she saw action last spring. She wintered at Payson Park before working four times here on the Poly, and should be ready to rumble with Da Silva riding for a live barn.

Trainer Mark Casse hit with 20% of his second-out droppers to maiden-claiming company over the past five years ($1.50 ROI). MORNING HAS BROKEN was a chalky second vs.
