Race 2
(1) TROTTING GRACE will offer the best price of the contenders and should be in line for a perfect pocket trip. (2) GOOD DESIGN will be looking for three wins in four starts on the year. (3) WHITE PANTS FEVER has a ton of ability but is probably best used underneath.
Race 3
(4) BOOGIE ON DOWN takes a huge drop down in class against weaker. (6) LADY'S PARTY mare could use a fast pace to close into for her best chance. (5) LEXINGTON LADY fits in with this bunch nicely should the top choice falter.
Race 4
(3) FOX VALLEY HALSEY well bred filly has hit the board in all three career starts. (2) BRIENNE THE BEAUTY filly makes her debut off a strong qualifier. (5) WINTER GRAM had a lot of late pace last week with nowhere to go.
Race 5
In an evenly matched race, (3) SAN ANTONIO ROSE should be much sharper second start back off the long layoff. (4) ROLLIN COAL filly looks to have the kinks worked out and keeps the top driver. (1) SKEETER MACHINE has come back off the layoff sharp winning all three starts on the year; threat.
Race 6
(1) SKYWAY DUSTY just missed last week against tougher. (4) HER ROYAL HOTTNESS has been very competitive against this group. (3) ANOTHER TEMPATION has hit the board at this level in four of five.
Race 7
(7) WALTER WHITE gelding will look to make it two straight wire to wire wins; fires early. (6) ANNAS LUCKY STAR trotting mare has tons of ability and is probably the horse to beat in the short field. (5) PICKY PICKY VALOR four-year-old has been super since the layoff.
Race 8
(4) TOWN TEMPTRESS pacing mare has been sharp in two straight for a new barn. (6) PRETTY IMAGE has burned a ton of cash against similar on the year; use caution. (5) PHYLLIS JEAN is capable of beating this bunch with a trouble-free trip.
Race 9
(2) BLISSFUL PANSY dropped and popped against weaker last out. This field isn't much different and the 5-year-old was the driver's choice. (3) LOOK KIMBO picks up the top driver and has been knocking on the door at this level. (4) FILLY FORTY fits in with this bunch but needs a good setup to cash.
Race 10
(1) BROADWAY MOJO should be in line for a much better trip this week. (4) CRUZEN CASSI made a miscue last week gearing up for a brush. The three-year-old owns good ability and adds second-time Lasix. (2) BIG LOU looks terrible on paper but has flashed a big burst of speed.
Race 11
(3) LADY DAY has been competitive against much tougher on the year and will look to make it two straight at this level. (5) FANCY CREEK JOLENE takes a significant drop in class and is one of few threats in the race. (8) MY KIND OF DANCE mare is 0 for the year but has been racing better than her lines look.
