Race 1
(2) YSS SUPER STORM might offer the best price of the contenders and should be sitting up close. (9) FATHER JULIO needs to stay trotting but is one of the faster horses in the race. (5) ACTION-BROAD gets sent out for top connections.
Race 2
(6) ALASKA mare was razor sharp last week drawing off impressively. (1) ALANA'S WAY gets a post edge on the top choice but will need more. (3) SLICK SARAH has hit the board in nine of fourteens starts on the year.
Race 3
(1) INFRONTANDFORGETIT looks to make it four straight; fires early. (5) NEXT WOMAN UP sophomore trotter is also on a nice winning streak. (6) IMA JUGGERNAUT filly went from awesome to empty last week. A bounce-back effort puts her in the mix.
Race 4
In a weak and inconsistent field, (1) KRISTINE K made an early miscue last week but can redeem herself at a price if she minds her manners. (9) MATTY WILL is one of few in the race that has flashed a decent burst of speed, however the 3-year-old is 0 for 28 lifetime. (2) CARIBBEAN MOON should be in line for a decent trip up close.
Race 5
(9) DATSYUK owns back class and was solid in the qualifier. (8) ZOLENA doesn't look the best on paper but is capable with a good setup. (7) ME THE BOSS is just now back in racing shape; threat.
Race 6
(4) JUST PLAIN LUCK had some sneaky late pace against tougher last start. (3) BARBARIAN well bred pacer faces slightly weaker. (6)IMA NUISANCE rarely wins but will offer a big price in soft field.
Race 7
(1) ULF HANOVER takes a significant drop down against weaker. (9) PHAT STACKS might be the only threat to the top choice with a decent trip. (7) DREAM CRAZED showed good improvement last week third start back off the bench.
Race 8
(2) POP COP needs to ration out his speed early for his best chance. (1) THIS TIME should be able to sit in the pocket but needs someone to push the top choice early. (9) GOOD WIN EARL could hit the ticket at a price; use underneath.
Race 9
(2) MESMERIZED takes a big drop down in class with a much better starting post. (1) CURLYS SON gets sent out for capable connections with the best post. (3) HUPOMONE has been close against similar.
Race 10
(3) MILLIRON PETE was an easy winner when last seen at this level. (1) SOUTHERN WINDS owns only one win on the year but went a big back half last week just tiring a bit late. (6) LUCKY KING shows some competitive efforts against slightly tougher on the year.
Race 11
(1) MAGIC MVP needed the start last week and gets the best post. (3) BOX OF LUCK set a lifetime mark last out going wire to wire. (2) COUNT ON ROSEY filly is probably capable of beating this bunch but needs to stay trotting.
Race 12
(1) GASTON has room to improve third start back off the layoff with the best post. (9) SMELL THAT ROCK owns some decent efforts at this level a couple of months back. (2) ROKNROL FREDDY adds first-time Lasix; threat.
Race 13
(1) CABO SAN LUKAS is one of few in the race that's been competitive at this level. (3) SWAN FOR YOU gets sent out first start for a new barn against a weak and inconsistent group. (2) T T TUCKER looks terrible on paper but has made the most money of the field on the year.
Race 14
(3) AILERON six-year-old pacer went a huge mile on the fair circuit last start. A repeat of that effort makes him tough to beat. (1) BUBBA DELIGHT has hit the board in three of five starts. (2) HALFA CENTURY has just been racing evenly but should be close turning for home.
Race 15
(9) MASON MAN picks up a huge driver change against a weak field full of question marks. (7) GUIDE EM has been facing slightly tougher but needs to find a way into the race. (6) ROMEO has hit the board in two of three at this level.
Race 16
(1) TYE SEELSTER loves burning cash but should benefit from the rail. If the nine-year-old stallion can ration out his speed he will be tough to catch. (5) REJOICEANDBEGLAD might be the sleeper in the race at a price. The ten-year-old raced gamely last week and needed the start. (3) SINK THE MCBISMARK owns only one win on the year but does fit in with this group nicely.
