Spot Play: POWERFUL ABOVE ALL (4th)
Race 1
(7) BLUE SWAN went a big qualifier last out and has a ton of talent. (10) TINY PRANCER should offer good value from a tough post against a very weak and inconsistent field. (3) PONDA PREMIER has yet to put it all together but could be close.

Race 2
(7) LIMA REAL EASY has been facing much tougher open sire stake company and now drops down; big chance. (5) LET'S NOT DWELL has a nice pedigree and has flashed talent despite tiring last start. (2) MR PEARL has steadily been improving as part of a good-looking entry.
Race 3
(7) STARRY SKYS mare went way too fast last out and still almost held on. The mare finds a field with few contenders and just needs to ration out her speed. (5) FOUR HOUR NAP looks to be in line for a great trip up close; threat. (6) KITTY O'BRIEN seven-year-old is always capable especially with a fast pace to close into; fires late.
Race 4
(8) POWERFUL ABOVE ALL sophomore trotter comes into the race off a break but will offer a big price and could upset with some racing luck. (9) SOUTHERNCOMFORTZONE probably has the most upside in the race but has also had trouble staying trotting. (5) CERTAINLY raced well in his last start before being scratched.
Race 5
(1) SKYWAY BRENLIN lightly raced pacer has a big engine and should be in a great spot turning for home. (2) ITS A BIG SECRET is in the same boat as the top choice and could certainly hit the wire first. (9) CATCH THE WAVE sprinted a big last quarter last out but will have a lot more work to do; use underneath.
Race 6
(5) HEARTLAND LIBERTY sports a terrible record on the year but finds a really soft spot. The pacer needs a smooth trip for his best chance. (9) YERMANOS has shown signs of turning it around recently but does get a low percentage pilot. (2) PARKED ONDA STREET closed the most ground in the race last out and should be closer turning for home.
Race 7
(5) OCEAN GIRL sophomore filly pacer faces older but improved nicely in her last start. (6) WESTERN COWGIRL mare made another break last out and is tough to play but can go a decent mile when she stays pacing. (7) ALWAYS A JEWEL just races evenly but could hit the ticket underneath with a decent effort.
Race 8
In a field with two contenders (7) ENCHANTRESS LADY will need to bring her `A' game to stay undefeated in five starts. (6) CARDINAL WIND has been trotting up a storm against much better besides the top choice. (2) SWAN PRINCESS put in a game effort last out but is best used underneath.
Race 9
(2) JOYFUL GAME gets a huge driver change and should win with a smooth trip. (7) VAL'S WAY exploded late last out from way back. The filly has the look of a pacer who just figured it out. (1) MS SOLONGBYEBYE has been much better in her last three and should be in a great spot early.
