Race 1

Race 2
(3) YOUROLDLOV-ELETTER filly is 0 for her career but needed her last start and raced gamely. (8) OCEAN GIRL raced better at this track and has beaten a similar field. (7) MEGYN HOSTPUR has been racing poorly in her last few but is capable of much better.
Race 3
(6) SIMPLY BURBON freshman filly pacer faces older but put in an excellent first effort on the big track. (5) NITTY GRITTY has shown decent closing ability in a wide-open and evenly matched race. (4) OFFICIAL COURT filly has proven connections and could surprise in her second lifetime start.
Race 4
(9) SUGARSWEET CHERRY nice looking 2-year-old owns the best victory on the year against similar. (7) ALWAYS A JEWEL could get the jump early on the top choice but has raced very evenly late. (6) PRO SHOOTER never had a chance last out from the toughest post but is one of two with a win on the year.
Race 5
(5) BI POLAR ROSE raced huge off a month and should have a big shot at a nice payday with some improvement. (7) PERSAUSIVE LOOK disappointed last out after looking like the cream of the crop. The talented trotter has shown the best closing ability of the bunch from off the pace. (2) JAZZIE MERMAID will look to go coast to coast for the big money; vulnerable late.
Race 6
In a tough race to gauge (7) ARTS-ROCKSTAR picks back up the top driver and just needs a smooth trip for a piece. (2) GET THE TERROR is very inconsistent but was the driver's choice; threat. (3) MARZY BEARZY has yet to put it all together but could jump up any week.
Race 7
In an inexperienced field full of question marks (2) DUNESIDE LOUIE put in a good career debut before some tough racing luck in his last two. The lightly raced gelding has plenty of room to improve on the big track. (3) REALLY DAVE looks the best on paper but faces older and has lacked stamina late; use caution. (5) PARTY'S GOLD has some upside and is a proven winner.
Race 8
(9) PARKLANE CRYSTAL gets put in for the tag against a much weaker bunch. (7) CASINO COMP is just now rounding into racing shape after a layoff and should be sharper third start back. (4) JOYFUL GAME mare seems to be hit or miss from week to week but a good effort puts her nose on the wire.
Race 9
(5) ACT OF MAGIC has been a force at this level and does her best work at this track. (3) HOTMONES has won the most money in the field on the year and is racing better than her lines indicate. (4) SUN DREAM is having a tough year but could hit the board with a smooth trip.
