Race 1
(2) VERTIGO HANOVER was an easy winner at this level a few starts ago. (4) FEELIN CORNERED owns only one win on the year but gets sent out for the top barn in the country; threat. (1) TOLEDO BEND GATOR gelding can crank it up late but could need a start over the track.

Race 2
(6) CHASE THE SUN doesn't come into the race with the best form but has beaten much better on the year for a streaky trainer. (1) CRAIG MICHAEL gets the best post and should be in line for a decent trip. (2) SANTA'S SPECIAL gelding is one of few that has been competitive at this level and could show improvement for new connections.
Race 3
(3) ORSE POWER gets sent out first start for the top barn in the country. The connections are deadly with first timers racing for them. (1) JAGGER BLUE CHIP is just now back in racing shape and will be used very aggressively from the best post. (2) TEST OF WILL also gets a huge trainer change; threat.
Race 4
(4) TEAM ZORDIN was the top driver's choice and will be in the mix early. (8) FORTUNE SAILOR gelding just needs a good setup for a chance at a piece late. (2) LADY REV mare is inconsistent from week to week but will look to make it three straight against a much better field; command a price.
Race 5
(2) POWER ROCK has been facing better and will be tough to beat with an easy lead; fires early. (6) FORTUNE'S JENNA gelding needed his last start off over a month. The pacer gets sent out for capable connections and is one of few threats in the race. (1) BANDICOOT picks up a significant driver change with the rail.
Race 6
(1) MYBROTHERGEORGE well bred pacer will look to drop and pop driven very aggressively down in class. (5) IRA'S BIG GUY ships in from out east where the gelding had been going some big miles. (3) BOLERO ANDREW went from barely getting around the track to razor sharp in a matter of a few starts; threat.
Race 7
(5) SENOR GLIDE seven-year-old stallion makes his third start back off a long layoff and faces a much easier field. (1) FLORIDA MAC ATTACK comes off a nice win and gets a great post. (7) NORMA'S ROSE picks up a top driver and will likely try and fly off the gate for a spot.
Race 8
(5) LITTLE PRINCE beat a better field last out and just needs a trouble-free trip to cash. (3) TYLER'S Z TAM makes his second start for new connections and could be one of few threats to the top choice. (1) STORMY WEST well bred stallion comes into the race off a nice victory; threat.
Race 9
(7) MYTHICAL HALL raced gamely last out not missing by much from a very tough post. The classy trotter should get the jump on his main competition. (8) VICTORY IS COMING mare needs to find a way to stay within striking distance off the top choice for a shot late. (9) ACTION-BROADWAY owns all the back class but could need another start based on her last effort.
Race 10
In a tough race to gauge (6) BETTOR'S CHOICE should benefit from early gate speed and the top driver. (2) ONHISHONOR HANOVER gelding has not won at this level but has been racing gamely; fires early. (7) REAL FUTURE will offer a great price but needs to find a way into the race along with some racing luck.
Race 11
(6) MASTER STROKE needed his last start off over a month and was full of pace prior to the time off. (2) WIT AND WISDOM has really turned it around in his last few and can threaten with a good trip. (1) KING OTRA picks up a top driver from the rail; threat.
Race 12
(1) ART'S ON FIRE gelding faces much easier shipping in from out east and gets the best post. (2) SEMALUE EXPRESS has shown a good burst of speed when timed right and should be in line for a nice trip up close. (3) DVCFLYINGFRENCHMAN is in the same boat as the top choice and could be sitting on a good effort.
Race 13
(2) HEAD OF THE BARN is racing better than his lines indicate and keeps a top driver. (1) LIBERAL three-year-old colt makes his first start for a new trainer with the best post; threat. (3) KEYSTONE ROYCE was an easy wire to wire winner last out but will need much more; command a price.
Race 14
(4) FANCY CREEK ELUSIV needed his last start and should have much more to offer second start back off a long layoff. (1) LOST JEWELS gelding should benefit from his gate speed; fires early. (9) BETTOR WIN gelding has been razor sharp for the new connections and just needs to find a way into the race from the second tier.
Race 15
(5) MODERN WARFARE picks up a significant driver change and has been competitive at this level. (4) STRANGE HANOVER has yet to win in twenty-nine attempts on the year but has been very close in recent; threat. (1) JET SET STYLE closed nicely last out and makes his second start for new connections.
