Race 1

(7) IM WITH HER impressively roared past the field last time to win going away in this class. She should be good for another. (8) MAIN STREET GIRL looks like she may have been a bargain at $18K at the Harrisburg sale and she seems to be the main danger to the choice. (9) THAT’S MIA BAD is capable of better than she showed last time; consider for exotics. (3) LYONS GIRLHANOVER moves inside and she can improve on her distant 4th in her debut.

Race 2

(5) DRAFT YEAR made his move too late last week and he was caught trying to advance into the fastest quarter of the race. A more aggressive steer gets it done here. (1) OMAHA OMAHA beat the choice last time off a comfy uncontested trip up front. He is the one to catch, but he may have a tougher trip this time. (8) WILL CAN GO drops out of Grand Circuit company and he should be heard from here if he can stay flat. (2) JOEY BATS is in good form and he can take a share.

Race 3

(3) STORMONT CHEF trotted a 56 3/5 back half last time but she was too far back. She can beat these if she starts his move earlier this time. (5) KADABRA QUEEN is obviously one of the best in here, but notice the trend so far of her winning only in OSS Gold races; your call. (10) SORCERESS SEELSTER is another who is obviously capable, but it is hard to predict what her tactics will be starting from the worst post in a conditioned race. (2) GOTTA PAY TO PLAY should be a speed threat and she could steal this if they leave her alone on the front end too long.

Race 4

(2) THE DOWNTOWN BUS gets back to a class where he should be competitive; slight nod. (3) IOWA NEIGHTIVE was wildly over bet last time considering he hadn’t raced in 45 days. He should give a better account here. (10) STREET BOY is worth a look coming in off a sharp qualifier. (4) SUPERSPORT ships west off a decent effort; consider for exotics.

Race 5

(1) PRECISION HANOVER gets driver Henry back following a good effort last time. Expect a more aggressive steer here. (9) APOTHIC faces much easier here after trying some of the best in her division; using. (7) WHOZYOMAMA left hard for command, took a shuffle and then passed some rivals. That was a good effort and Roy sticks here. (3) PROTECT BLUE CHIP can take another slice.

Race 6

(8) BLINDED BY LINDY had no chance racing against the best on the continent last time. She should improve sharply here. (1) STRITCH almost knocked off the Grassroots leader last time in a very good effort. She may be the one to beat. (4) VEYRON has improved sharply in his last two starts; using. (6) FONDUE should take another share here and she could win if the trip shakes out her way.

Race 7

(9) SAVANNAH SPLENDOR set good fractions on a very sloppy track and couldn’t sustain it late. He should be tough here on the front end. (10) CHARMBO ORBIT drops and he will likely get put into play early here, especially if there are claims in; using. (6) IDOLE DUHARAS is in good form and he can threaten. (7) PLAY IT AGAIN SAM can’t be dismissed going for Moreau off the claim, but he needs to make 7 lengths up on the choice looking at their most recent starts.

Race 8

(2) GOTTAGETMESOMATHAT gets a lukewarm call here in a race where he may get away with an easy lead. (6) MONI JUSTICE is showing improvement for Henriksen and she could pop here. (7) LADY JUSTICE faces much easier; beware. (4) LATE SHIFT always looks good on paper, but her 0 for 22 record doesn’t inspire.

Race 9

(1) HILL YES had a brutal trip facing Grand Circuit trotters. He should return to form here. (10) ONLY PASSING THRU has already won several times in classes similar to this; using. (8) I JASMIN has 10 slices in 33 starts. Expect more of the same. (6) MAJESTIC KAT has missed more than a month and she will likely get an easy trip.

Race 10

(1) BEACH GODDESS and (9) MACH THE CUT both come off very impressive wins and are likely to be the main combatants here; slight nod to the former based on post. (3) CLOUD DIVA was decent racing off the shelf last time. Toss in Tri and Super bets. (2) FADE AWAY will be a speed threat and she could stick around for a slice. (6) FRANSCHOEK takes a lot of smaller shares. She can hit the ticket here.
