Race 2
(6) FRONTIER CODY Indiana bred colt makes his career debut in a wide open field coming off a solid qualifier. (3) GUMCORNER SUE has been trotting faster than most of the field and just needs a smooth trip to hit the ticket. (2) ROSEANNE filly makes her third start back off a layoff with a better pilot.
Race 3
(1) BUBBA TELLS ALL will need some racing luck with the low percentage pilot but has flashed ability in a weak field. (6) PATHOLOGIST faces much weaker competition and will be used aggressively. (3) C NOTE well bred colt could be ready for an improved effort off a solid career debut.
Race 4
(8) WESTERN COWGIRL has yet to win in sixteen starts on the year but drops in for a tag; threat. (9) ODDS ON ROLOMITE well bred filly raced gamely last out and is one of few in the race with upside. (6) OCEAN GIRL two-year-old faces older and needs more to hit the top spot; use underneath.
Race 5
(2) SKYWAY BILLY is a proven winner in a suspect field and could offer good value. (5) JOEL'S Z TAM two-year-old pacer tried his best to upset the heavy favorite last start only to come up short. The colt has tons of room to improve and showed heart last out. (1) MIGHTY HOT SHOT gets the best post off a nice first effort.
Race 6
(9) RUSSELL L looks terrible on paper but the 11-year-old veteran could upset at a price if he races back to a prior effort. (2) EAGLE A SCOOTIN is just rounding back into racing shape but rarely wins; command a price. (6) HEARTLAND LIBERTY has been pacing consistent miles but doesn't like to pass late.
Race 7
(3) BOBBY B BREEZE has lacked stamina late but should be able to handle this field. (2) SPEEDY ALBER gelding has ability and is capable of going a big effort. (1) STONEBRIDGE ULTIMO well bred trotter gets the best post off a really nice victory.
Race 8
(1) ONE LOUD DING is very inconsistent but one of his better efforts puts him in the mix. (10) JOYFUL GAME is better than the field if the low percentage pilot can work out a trip. (9) MS SOLOONGBYEBYE has been on the improve and will be firing early.
Race 9
In a tough race to gauge (7) FOUR HOUR NAP never had a chance last out from a tough post but should be much closer turning for home. (5) KENDYL mare goes for red hot connections that can't be left of your tickets. (8) KITTY O'BRIEN actually benefits from the outside post and will be the main danger with fast fractions; fires late.
