1,2,5,6,9 with 4,5 with 6 with 1,9 = $20
Race 1
(7) MAJOR COUNT has been competitive against tougher in four straight. (5) SNEAKY SAM owns a win at this level and should be closer turning for home this week. (2) TIMELESS UTAH shows a good late closing kick and is the horse to beat with a decent setup.
Race 2
In a very tough race to gauge, (5) BUBBA DELIGHT showed a decent burst of speed at this level last week. (2) MIDNIGHT GAMBOL gets sent out first start for a new barn but looks to offer low value; use caution. (1) OAKS WARRIOR should be better second start over the track with the best post.
Race 3
(3) HARD TO ROCK THIS was a solid second at this level last week; threat. (5) DEW IN THE DESERT trotting mare is very fast when she minds her manners; versatile. (7) JUST A STEADY HALL owns wins against better on the year.
Race 4
(6) THETIS picks up a huge driver change against a suspect bunch. (7) ALISHA'S BIG STAR will look to make it three straight wins at this level. (3) DOORAH CHEERLEADER hit the board at a big price last week; use underneath.
Race 5
(5) FLY'N ELLIE has been much improved in two straight. (3) LATTE JO looks to be a threat with an easy early lead. (4) STRIKING BIG BEN has lacked stamina late and is probably best used underneath.
Race 6
(5) BOLD DECISION will look to drop and pop down in class. (4) CYCLOPS has been competitive against better on the year. (3) AMERICAN FIGHTER put in a very nice effort from far back last out.
Race 7
In a really weak and inconsistent field, (7) MICVICAR hasn't won in over two years but did have some sneaky late trot last week. (6) DETAILER doesn't win often but the 9-year-old will offer a monster price in against a suspect bunch. (4) SWEET BEN has just been racing evenly and looks to offer a low price.
Race 8
(1) LUCKY REI should be much closer turning for home with the best post. (2) THE KOP looks to be in line for a nice trip up close. (9) ACTION METRO MAX gets sent out for capable connections in a field full of question marks.
Race 9
(5) SONG IN MY HEART well bred trotter shows some good efforts against similar. (4) POPPIN TAGS was an easy winner when last seen at this level. (1) WHOLE LOTTA NASTY has some question marks coming off a scratch but does draw the best post.
Race 10
(6) PV DRAGON just missed beating a better bunch last week; big chance. (1) HIGH AND TIGHT might be one of few threats in the race but has only one win on the year. (2) PACE SEELSTER has burned cash against similar in two straight; use caution.
Race 11
(9) HENPECKED three-year-old filly needs to mind her manners but has a stellar win record. (1) J-S FOR JUSTICE four-year-old makes his first start in a new barn with the best post. (7) GO GO GEORGE gelding owns some gate speed which could put him in the mix at a price.
Race 12

Race 14
(3) ST LADS SHAMAN made a miscue last week on the sloppy track. The lightly raced 4-year-old appeared to be on the right track before last week. (6) JOHN L has hit the board in three straight and four of five. (5) GO RRRILLA has lots of room to improve facing significantly weaker.
Race 15
(2) RESCUE TEAM classy mare dominated at this level last week running up the score; short price. (5) FOUNTAIN PEN pacing mare is much better than what she shows on paper. (1) STEPHIE CLAY might need a start coming off a layoff; use underneath.
