12:30 GP 1st CAJUN MANDATE (#8, 3-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
1::58 GP 4th CUPID’S DUDE (#6, 10-1) has had plenty of experience at a mile and beyond now returns to the main, gets Lasix for first time, may prove right one in wide open mid-level maiden claimer. – Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:18 AQU 4th ALIPNE QUEEN (#3, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:32 GP 5th TORETTO (#2, 15-1) drops to cheapest level yet returning to what appears his preferred surface. Defeated Sigrun Fast Boy on graduation day, the latter Beyering 84 and 86 in his last two starts. – Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:22 AQU 6th EXTREME (#7, 6-1) earned consecutive Beyer tops in his first three dirt starts without winning early last year last year in Kentucky, then crushed maiden claimers shortly after returning from a layoff; chased a very fast pace off the claim for Handal two back; don’t mind him stretching back out after an even performance for third in the last one. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:25 AQU 8th TEXAS SWING (#2, 9-2) started out with some promise before struggling to stay on the track after finishing third in the Tampa Bay Derby early on; dropped last October to get back on track, and he has come forward since then while using his early speed; good effort last time when kept honest on the lead all the way before gamely prevailing, and he can handle this distance. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:33 SA 3rd ARDIS (#7, 3-1) can improve second time out, while dropping in class. She chased and cracked in her maiden-75 debut, now drops to maiden-50 with speed to be forwardly placed in a sprint without much obvious pace. – Brad Free | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
7:40 MED (Harness) 5th ALL THE TRUTH (#4, 3-1) had his hat handed to him three straight weeks versus much tougher and now gets to sneak into this class on a sub-condition. Gingras/Burke charge should prove difficult to defeat. – Derick Giwner | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
9:20 WBS (Harness) 8th TAHUYA BREW (#2, 3-1) got hung the route when claimed by Barrington. He gets a driver upgrade to Henry and he should have a good chance in this spot. – Garnet Barnsdale | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
9:35 YR (Harness) 9th KEYSTONE DASH (#3, 3-1) was much-improved off the barn change to Dowse and driver Bartlett can take this field a long way on the front end. – Matt Rose | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
