Race 2
(5) SF TERRIFIC KISSER gelding gets sent out for a barn that is tough to go against. (6) TERROR OF THETRACK has been pacing consistent miles but could use some racing luck and a good trip. (1) KENNAIRN LIFE SIGN has gate speed, the best post, and an aggressive driver.
Race 3
(5) HEZA RUBE has a ton of talent and should win if he can mind his manners. (6) TROTALOT well bred trotter could be turning a corner after a very long layoff. (4) SUPER LUSTRE gets a good driver change and just went a big effort against less.
Race 4
In an evenly matched and tough race to handicap (1) HALLIN GATOR picks back up the better driver and gets the best post. (4) BUSTER MEE N has shown a decent burst of speed and also gets a positive driver change. (6) FREDSABULLDOG could offer a good value coming off a nice effort making up good ground late.
Race 5
(8) NORMA'S ROSE takes a big drop in class, should offer a big price, and has a chance if the trotting mare can ration out her speed early. (9) HOWDY DEWEY well bred 4-year-old has lacked stamina late but could get a nice cover trip this time out. (6) ANNIE'S MASTER mare has been overachieving with her good gate speed; use underneath.
Race 6
(9) SAND ROYAL BLU well bred trotter was an easy winner in a similar spot a few starts ago and just needs to stay trotting for a victory. (1) HELLO CARLO is inconsistent at times but finds a good spot for a piece. (2) KAHOKU made a break last out but fits the class nicely especially should the top choice falter; threat.
Race 7
(3) FOX RIVER MARK faces significantly easier and should be tough to catch with an early breather. (6) WATER HOUSE has shown signs of improvement in his last few and finds an inconsistent field. (9) LEE A BRYANT is capable of pulling the upset but needs a lot of racing luck; use underneath.
Race 8
(6) LONESOME ATTACK was a game winner last out and will look to steal away upfront. (1) GOODNITE GOODLUCK looks to be in line for a great trip and could be one of few threats in the race. (7) RUST BELT should offer a big price and has flashed the ability to step up against these at times.
Race 9
(8) ROSE RUN LOGAN adds lasix for the time and just needs to find a way into the race for a big chance. (6) MYTHICAL HALL needs to stay trotting but has been very competitive against these. (1) EDIT gets the best post and has been racing gamely; threat.
Race 10
(9) ROCKIN FINISH well bred gelding comes off a big win and could be on the move early for the top driver. (2) JS TANGO should the top choice have some traffic issues the pacer is a huge threat to go coast to coast on the front end. (5) LYONS JOSHEPHJNR stallion was used very aggressively last out and has shown a big burst of speed for the top barn in the country.
Race 11
(8) FOREVER GOOD could offer an enticing price coming off a miscue. The pacer gets sent out for red hot connections. (6) FUDGE appears to be turning a corner and could have more to offer. (1) CASH'EM IN set a lifetime mark last out second time in a new barn. A repeat of that effort probably makes it two straight.
Race 12
(9) REAL SAMART could be overlooked a bit with the second tier. The veteran pacer is just now rounding back into shape and should be sitting on a big effort. (8) T R KILOWATT SAM will either win going away or come up empty in a second start out for a very inconsistent barn. (7) IMPRESSIVE JET has upside and has been racing gamely. The pacer needs a trip and some racing luck but could hit the ticket at a price.
Race 13
(3) FIERCE DESIRE gets post relief and has been closing from impossible spots. The four-year-old would be a huge threat with a similar effort. (6) CHASE THE SUN has been tough to go against in this class and is facing a much softer bunch than his last few. (4) SIR JACK has some positives despite being winless on the year. The pacer picks up the top driver and finds an easier spot than his last two.
Race 14
(2) HEZA STAR CRUISER should be in line for a nice ground saving trip up close to the pace. (3) TIDEWATER TOMCAT just missed last out to a game opponent; fires early. (4) GENUINE STAR gets sent out for a new barn and is tough to gauge; command a price.
Race 15
(6) THE CLASSIC Z TAM has been knocking on the door and makes his first start for new connections. The pacer gets a huge driver change and could use a smooth trip. (2) CRY FOR CASH could draw off or finish up the track going on the trainer's recent results. (1) REMBRANDT VAN RYN drew off down in class but a similar effort puts him on the wire.
Race 16
(2) HALLIN gets another good post to work with and has a top driver. (9) NOBLE FITCH races well with Merriman in the bike. (4) MAJIK MASTER gets some post relief and has been consistent at this level.
