Race 1
(5) FIFTY JOULES just needs to stay trotting for a big chance in a weak field. (7) HMM IS THAT RIGHT is one of few with a victory but will need to find a way into the race. (1) GUTH lightly raced trotter has room to improve against a suspect bunch.

Race 2
(9) PRETTY BOY CASH four-year-old should be in line for a ground saving trip and will offer a big price. (5) MI SIX lightly raced pacer put in a big effort last out from a tough post; threat. (1) LIL MISS DYNAMITE mare gets the best driver with the best post but is 0 for her career; command a price.
Race 3
(7) SAY IT'S TRUE has some positives despite coming off the miscue. The gelding makes his first start in a new barn and picks up a huge driver change. (1) LARRY P should have had more last out but will benefit from the rail. (3) THIRTYTOFINALSCORE just missed from the eight hole last start and will be in the mix with a similar effort.
Race 4
(1) STAR MASTER FOX has been knocking on the door and finds a suspect bunch. (2) UF DRAGONS HANOVER well bred filly gets sent out for proven connections and looks to be capable of better. (5) DRIVIN ON BY looks to have some ability and will offer a monster price.
Race 5
(3) UNLIMITED WINNER five-year-old trotter could have a chance for a low percentage pilot with an easy early lead. (1) BOOYAH TJ lightly raced 7-year-old crushed a similar group last out but will offer low value. (8) AL-MAR SNEAKY PETE makes his third start back off a layoff and looks to be improving.
Race 6
In a very weak and inconsistent field (3) ROCKIN H CHEERY gelding makes his third start back off a layoff and has shown a decent burst of speed. (2) MISS RILEY mare should probably be considered the horse to beat but gets sent out for a very inconsistent trainer. (6) COLBY D heavy morning line favorite could have road traffic to deal with if he doesn't leave the gate; use caution.
Race 7
(9) KEYSTONE RIDEAU veteran pacer faces much weaker and just needs a trouble-free trip to score. (7) COACH KEN could be one of few threats in the race to the top choice also taking a significant drop in class. (4) ARTISTIC DREAMER is capable of pacing a good mile and usually does his best racing upfront.
Race 8
(4) GET PACKIN picks up the top driver down in class. (1) CINCINNATI MYSTRES looks to be in line for a great trip but needs much more to get past the top choice. (9) WEST RIVER VICTORY could be the sleeper in the race getting sent out for new connections.
Race 9
(2) BUSTA MOVE faces easier and should be in line for a nice trip up close. (3) HALLIN just missed at this level last out and has been competitive against better on the year. (4) CRAIG MICHAEL gelding is an enigma but is capable of pacing a big mile out of the blue.
Race 10
(6) IDBEGOODATTHAT paced a huge mile last out and will be tough to beat with a similar effort. (2) U BETTER WATCH OUT gets a huge driver change and should be much closer turning for home. (1) MISTER RUSS has been racing gamely at this level and gets the best post.
Race 11
(4) NIRVANA GEAR could get an easy early lead giving him a shot at a price late. (1) MELVIN'S DREAM gets a big driver change for a red hot trainer; short price. (2) LIGHTNING LUCK pacer is better than his record indicates but is driven by a suspect pilot; use underneath.
Race 12
In a tough race to gauge (8) MJS VICTORY JODY is just now back in racing shape and should offer a big price in a suspect field. (2) SAMS YANKEE looks the best on paper picking up a significant driver change. (9) HARD ROCK TRIXIE comes off a blowout victory and could have more to offer; threat.
Race 13
(2) DANNYS ATTHEDANCE gets a big morning line down in class; threat. (3) SHAM'S BIG GUY has been competitive at this level but needs more; command a price. (5) ALLAMERICAN ZORRO gets a huge driver change for a new barn.
Race 14
(8) LEE A BRYANT will need a lot of racing luck but does have the ability with a good setup. (7) DANCE WITH DAN will offer a big price and just needs to find a way into the race like the top choice. (1) CYCLONE ASHORE gets the best post with a top driver but could be vulnerable if pressed early.
Race 15
(4) TERROR OF THETRACK picks up a much better pilot down in class. (1) BRYNDAN'S TOY gelding also drops in class but has been dreadful in his last two; command a price. (3) I RECKON SO rarely wins and is probably best used underneath.
