Race 1 - $50,000 Guaranteed Pick Five Pool
Race 4 - $50,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Race 1
(7) P L JILL well bred trotting mare was impressive last out setting a lifetime mark. (3) ABSOLUT SEELSTER four-year-old mare has won three straight but will need more on the big track. (2) ROSE RUN REANNA has been racing gamely and will be in the mix early.
Race 2
(5) JORDAN BLUE CHIP impeccably bred filly looks like a seasoned pro already in just two starts; short price. (4) SHAZAMM might be the only threat to the top choice coming off two excellent efforts. (3) EX HANOVER well bred filly makes her debut for capable connections.
Race 3
(4) ALLOVERAGAIN two-year-old filly could be the sleeper in the race if she minds her manners. (3) SORCERESS SEELSTER has already banked a big chunk of change racing against the best; short price. (5) FLY FLY SELENA has lots of room to improve off a good first learning experience.
Race 4
(8) ARAZI five-year-old makes his second start out for a top barn. (6) NEXT THING SMOKEN drew off impressively at this level last week. (5) CHARMBRO ORBIT showed a huge close last week from an impossible spot off the drop in class; big chance.
Race 5
(10) DRY SILK FLOWERS filly stormed home in her debut sweeping past the field with an impressive brush. She will need to find a way into the race but can make it two wins in a row. (1) BREEZY gets a big post edge on the top choice. The filly has closed nicely in all of her miles. (4) LOVE KILLS filly has faltered as the favorite in two straight; command a price.
Race 6
(1) NORTHERN STARLIGHT filly gets the best post and has been trotting up a storm. (5) KAMERAN HANOVER looks to be improving for proven trotting connections. (2) WARRAWEE SHIPSHAPE almost blew up the tote board last week closing from far back.
Race 7
(5) DELANEY R filly gets sent for a top barn coming off a super qualifier. (2) MISS MARY MACH filly has been facing the best and should find this spot much easier. (1) THE BAY FRONT well bred filly has lots of upside making her debut from the rail.
Race 8
(1) TRUMP THAT has had his nose on the wire in every effort. The 2-year-old will offer the best price of the contenders and should get a perfect stalking trip. (2) SUMMER TRAVEL will look to stay undefeated at a very short price. (5) DRAGON TIME picked off the top choice last week with a big late rally.
Race 9
(6) INTENDED STYLE will look to make it four straight at this level. (1) IDOLE DUHARAS has just been racing evenly but could be ready for a better effort from the rail this week. (4) SPORTS VISION gets sent out for capable connections off an open length victory.
Race 10
(4) BLENHEIM got rolling about this time last year. The 4-year-old has tons of ability and can pop any week. (1) WINTER HARBOR impeccably bred pacer has raced well in two straight; threat. (8) HILL OF A COLT has been vulnerable late in miles; use underneath.
