Race 2
(5) SAFE FROM TERROR two-year-old makes his second lifetime start, should improve, and will offer a big price. (3) FOX VALLEY REDHEAD filly closed exceptionally well and would be tough to beat with a similar effort. (4) FEETONTHEDASHBOARD filly could have the most ability and was the driver's choice coming off a nice qualifier. However the connections could be more interested with a training trip in the freshman's first start; use caution.
Race 3
(3) WE ALL BLEED RED filly just raced evenly last out but should be in line for a great trip up close. (6) RUSHING FORCE well bred trotter flashed good ability kicking for home in the qualifier. The colt just needs to stay trotting for a huge chance. (7) YOUTH GONE WILD nice looking 2-year-old filly showed excellent gate speed in the two qualifiers.
Race 4
(1) ALWAYS BELIEVE draws the rail, adds second time lasix, and will offer a huge price. (7) SUNSET DREAMER scored his first win last out racing gamely; fires early. (3) DAVE'S ART has slowly been progressing and is one of the better horses in the weak field.
Race 5
(4) ON MY OWN filly was actually much better last out despite making a break early. The pacer's gait was also dramatically improved. (7) DREAM ROLL well bred filly is the horse to beat but the pilot has cost her two straight victories. (6) WATCHBELLEPACE could be the sleeper at a price with a smooth trip.
Race 6
(2) JUST ENOUGH showed a decent burst of speed last out at Maywood and finds a wide open and evenly matched race. (7) IVE GOT THE KEY looks to offer low value and has yet to show a winning effort on the year; use caution. (6) DOTS BIGBOY had terrible posts on bad tracks at Hoosier. The pacer takes a significant drop in class and faces much softer; threat.
Race 7
(1) REALLY AWESOME well bred trotter raced exceptional in the qualifier and will get a nice trip if he minds his manners. (2) MR MUSCLEMANIA is really starting to become a nice consistent trotter but could be vulnerable late. (5) LIZ'S BLACK BEAUTY mare makes her second start back off a long layoff and has room to improve.
Race 8
(2) CARNOUSTIE pacer could have gained some confidence with the victory last out and will have a big chance with a smooth trip. (4) CAMILLE ROSE rarely wins but has been much sharper the last six weeks. (5) MOON BAY DANCER could benefit from an early spot off the gate and will try and pick up the pieces late.
Race 9
In a very tough race to handicap (5) LOVERS HOLIDAY will offer a huge price, has an excuse last start with the bad track, and has the ability when sound. (1) ONE LOUD DING mare has been racing gamely and gets the best post; threat. (4) CASINO COMP mare put in a super qualifier but gets sent out for a provisional driver.
