Race 1
(2) SWEET ALYSSA picks up a huge driver change in a field full of question marks. (1) TREAT FOR MY SWEET filly looks terrible on paper but has flashed some ability. (8) YOUROLDLOV-ELETTER owns only one lifetime win but is a threat in the weak field with a smooth trip.

Race 2
(5) STONEBRIDGE ULTIMO gelding is probably the horse to beat and should offer a fair price with a suspect pilot. (3) A LOCAL BAND went an improved effort last out. (2) ALL EYES ON HER filly has yet to move forward in her career but finds a soft field.
Race 3
(1) GLIDED TOWARDS ME gelding just raced evenly last out but gets the best post and should be in line for a ground saving trip. (4) INCREDIBLY SPORTY has shown good late kick against this group; threat. (8) WILDARTISCAPE comes off a game victory and could have gained some confidence.
Race 4
(2) VALLEY PHOTO lightly raced trotter has lots of room to improve against an inconsistent group. (1) AMAZED has shown a decent burst of speed and faces slightly easier. (3) AIR FORCE BLUE is one of few threats in the race despite his poor record.
Race 5
(10) ALWAYS ABOUT KATEY will offer a much better price and can beat this group with a smooth trip. (8) SYNERGY SEELSTER will be blasting out for position but needs to avoid an early battle for any shot late. (9) STATE STREET LIZ is sharp right now and just needs to find a way into the race; threat.
Race 6
(6) BANDS MUSE filly faces older but could be starting to turn a corner off a much improved effort. (4) KITE FLYER two-year-old filly will be very tough to beat if she stays trotting; short price. (7) OMYGOODNESS is capable of a piece with some racing luck and a good effort.
Race 7
(1) LOLITA HALL mare comes off a nice victory and should have more to offer second start back off a layoff. (3) PERCHED ON TOP filly will pop at a price one of these weeks; threat. (5) BIKINIS ON TOP picked up the pieces last out and needs a smooth trip; use underneath.
Race 8
(9) SANDCASTLE GIRL comes off two bad lines but is one of few threats to the favorite. (6) SECONDS LATER filly loves finding a way to get second, however the pacer is in a really weak field. (8) JOVANNA beat a similar bunch a few starts ago but needs a good setup.
Race 9
(2) TIME OUTA JAIL was hit with another driver's whip last out making a break. If the trotter stays on gait he will be tough to get by late; driver's choice. (1) FOX VALLEY YAVONNE mare finally finds an ideal spot to get back on track and adds a significant driver change. (9) EVIL URGES well bred gelding owns all the back class but could need a start over the track.
Race 10
(5) SUE'S YOUR DADDY filly just missed in this class last out; versatile. (1) PRETTY PLACE should offer a big price and was a winner at this level the start prior. (2) LIMA CALLIOPE rarely wins but is capable of a good effort from time to time.
