Spot Play: LADY OF THE WEST (4th)
Race 1
In a really weak and inconsistent field (7) YANKEE JIM wasn't good last out but raced well the start prior and should offer a fair price. (9) YO-ZURI has just been racing evenly but does offer early speed. (4) HECTOR B could be the sleeper in the race and makes his second start back off a layoff.

Race 2
In another really suspect field (2) SUNBONNET SUE actually owns a win on the year and hits the board consistently. (6) BRIGHT VICTORY makes his career debut off a slow qualifier but finds a soft spot. (10) OUTTHERENLOVINGIT saved some ground before shaking loose late to split rivals but would need to find a way into the race; use underneath.
Race 3
(4) JETTING AROUND two-year-old filly pacer has been racing gamely and could use a smooth trip. (3) KAYS LUCKYDAY closed some decent ground last out from a tough spot. (2) VAL'S WAY filly gets sent out to the track by a trainer who usually has them ready early on.
Race 4
(7) LADY OF THE WEST is 0 for the year but did race extremely well last out. (8) IMNOTASONOFABEACH was roughed up last start but does have some ability in a wide open race. (6) NA ZDROWIE has really regressed after a good showing early but does have some early speed.
Race 5
(7) JB OUI OUI classy trotter is razor sharp and the horse to beat on paper. (6) BIG CHOCOLATE well bred stallion has trouble stringing victories together but will probably be in the mix early; threat. (9) REVER EVER gelding trotter is saddled with the worst post but did race huge in both starts at the track so far.
Race 6
(1) CARNOUSTIE only the driver or the trip could get this one beat; short price. (9) MIND ERASER put in a monster effort last out and probably needed the start as well. (2) LOVERS HOLIDAY is best raced from off the pace but would need much more to upset the top choice.
Race 7
(9) JUSTHAVENTMETUYET raced huge off a scratch digging in gamely and will be tough to beat with a trip. (3) SB BETTYS IDEAL filly has some ability and didn't miss by much last out to the top choice. (8) WINGS mare has progressed nicely over her last few efforts but might be in a tough spot if she doesn't leave.
Race 8
In a field with few contenders (3) ANTS INER PANTS has some back class to call upon in this field and raced gamely last out. The 4-year-old trotter never stopped coming all through the mile and might be too much for this group to handle with a similar effort. (9) OVERANDOVERVICTORY is really sharp and probably the only threat to the top choice. (8) HERE'S JOHNNY looks good on paper but would need more to get past the top two.
Race 9
(10) SEXY CARD SHARK came up empty last out but had been on fire previously. If the sophomore pacer reverts back to her prior form its lights out. (4) SEEYOUATTHEFINISH consistently hits the board and just needs to be a little closer turning for home. (9) WINDOW WIPER filly has a lot of ability and can really pace a good last quarter.
Race 10
(3) JUDE HALL takes a significant drop in class and looks to have more to offer than most of the field. (6) GRAM LEGEND comes off a nice qualifier after a layoff but could need a start; command a price. (5) L A CAMCHARGER has been knocking on the door but seems to be short the last part of the mile.
