2:39 GP 5th SONICUS (#1, 9-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:05 BEL 1st LOVE TANK (#4, 9-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:44 GP 7th ROUGH ENTRY (#2, 4-1) back to more suitable spot after being over-matched in all recent tries. Working well for high percentage barn. – Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:13 BEL 5th COMPROMISER (#6, 5-1) lacked speed in his debut sprinting on dirt, but he was finishing up well in that race while not appearing to be hard-used in what might have been a prep; has turf and distance on the bottom of his pedigree; switches right out with Saez taking over. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
6:32 WO 4th MISTER M V P (#1, 4-1) was never in the hunt after getting away slowly from the inside against tougher on the turf in his latest. He filled out the exacta in each of his two previous outings on different surfaces and could get back on track here while being reunited with Contreras. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
6:45 MED (Harness) 2nd DIRE STRAITS (#2, 3-1) cruised in his baby race debut and followed it up with a “WOW” stretch rush into a wicked headwind. Muscle Hill-sired homebred looks to have some ability. – Derick Giwner | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
7:15 BEL 9th LEGEND’S SONG (#10, 10-1) debuted for this tag last month and was very green from the start of that race while trying to get out for most of the trip; comes right back at the same level and can improve quickly if more clued in this time. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
8:36 WO 8th BENNY’S BUTTON (#2, 20-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Ron Gierkink). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
9:05 WBS (Harness) 7th SCRIBBLERS (#1, 3-1) loomed like he might win in early stretch last week, but the leader had plenty in reserve and that rival’s :26 4/5 kick was too much. Off that solid debut effort, he gets the nod here. – Garnet Barnsdale | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
