Race 2
(4) SEEKIN FOR GLAMOUR mare should find this spot easier than her last few; short price. (2) THEDAYYOUHAVEMADE looks to be sitting a good trip up close. (7) WESTERN BOUDOIR gets sent out for a low percentage trainer but has been competitive against better on the year.
Race 3
(8) SHEZ SO SASSY could be the sleeper in the race at a price with some racing luck. The 3-year-old filly was revving up for a brush when she made a break last start. (2) FOX VALLEY YOKO filly was the best horse in the class for a while at two and looks to be primed for a better effort second start back. (4) PERSUASIVE LOOK made a break last out but was a nice winner prior; threat.
Race 4
(6) ROCK N KILO four-year-old mare is sharp and just needs a similar effort to her last two. (2) BABYSHOEBUYER doesn't win often but will be in the mix. (7) ALWAYS TALKING has shown steady improvement but is probably best used underneath.
Race 5
(4) ANGEL DEMON filly makes her first start of the year against a suspect bunch. (5) ARTS-ROCKSTAR looks to primed for a better effort third start back off the layoff. (10) FOX VALLEY RUBY just missed last out and was the top driver's choice; threat.
Race 6
(6) HUDSON JESSE four-year-old mare will offer the better price and has a big driver advantage on his main rival. (5) JUSTICE JET will look to make it nine for eleven on the year; short price. (4) ANTS INER PANTS mare raced super last out and with any kind of similar effort to that she could upset the apple cart.
Race 7
(3) ALWAYS REESE well bred filly has a lot of upside and picks up the top driver. (4) SILVER GAL also has potential and faces an easier bunch. (5) RAVISHING IMAGE will look to make it two straight for proven connections.
Race 8
(7) FOX VALLEY AUBRY filly pacer has been facing significantly better and should get the jump early on her main competition. (10) DP ANGEL is one of few threats to the top choice especially with a good setup. (5) EXCELERATED SPEED mare drops back down to spot where she can get a piece.
Race 9
(2) RED SOLO CUP burned cash last out just getting picked off late. The well bred stallion has been a touch disappointing this year but still owns a good brush. (6) MY FUNKY FARKLE was right there with the top choice last out; threat. (3) TRICKY NICK owns ability and is just now back in racing shape.
Race 10
(7) REAL SHEILA filly dispatched this same group for fun last week and can do it again with a smooth trip. (1) GORGEOUS DUNE gets the best post and has room to improve in a field full of question marks. (6) FOX VALLEY REDHEAD has just been racing evenly; command a price.
