Race 2
(5) WINGULL faces a weak bunch and any late life will prove profitable. (7) QUICK KIL has had many chances but races this level second time in a row looking to make some money to pay the bills. (3) WANDERER was parked for life in last. Moves in and gets a long look.
Race 3
(4) HOLDIE L seems ready to get it done facing this kind. Got parked two back, stepped up, toured the track. Drops back and gets lucky this evening. (9) STOLEN CROWN was first over in last and tired. Should be able to work out a better trip in here. (1) DODGEME DISPISEME has the rail and will not find a softer spot.
Race 4
(3) CANNAE BARRON has been banging at the door last month and gets narrow vote in well-matched race. (8) MAGICAL JIG was nailed on the wire last two. Needs to overcome the post. (7) CATALINA KID got it done on the engine in last but also faces long journey to the top from here.
Race 5
(1) FUTURE PAST has the rail and drops down. Went well this level in recent past. (2) SCREAMIN DREAMIN seems to have forgotten how to win but has hit the board often this year. (5) TYRANNY SEELSTER has flashed some late speed last few and gets the call to make it interesting.
Race 6
(7) SANDBAR SLUGGER should be able to work out a covered trip in here and a late rush gets him home on top. (3) HERSHEY PLEASE was outkicked in last but same move will get him close. (1) MAXIMUM VIKING has position on the others and speed enough to stay close.
Race 7
(6) NIRVANA GEAR wired slightly weaker in last but has been sharp last three. (5) RADAR LOVER challenged in the lane last time but came up a bit short. Needs to be tougher but tougher gets it done. (2) DESIRE RESORT can be right there if he times his one move better than he has been doing out of town.
Race 8
(5) STORMY GHOST has flashed some late speed and some determination in last couple. (2) TOALLY FRESH won last out of the pocket and can be ideally placed once more. (3) MAJIK MASTER fits well this level and should not be overlooked.
Race 9
(2) HIGH GEAR WINNER won last with game late rally and faces slightly weaker. (3) GO HERBIE GO was parked the mile in last and held well enough to earn a long look tonight. (5) DAY TO DAY was unable to carry her speed to the end in last and moves out from the rail.
Race 10
(1) GRAMS LEGACY was used two back and tired, toured the track in last. Moves in tonight and can get it done with right trip. (3) WOW POWER moves in, faces weak bunch. (5) DANNYS MAN was a beaten favorite in last. Has to be respected but moves up a bit in company.
Race 11
(3) SEE YA LATER DUDE wired this kind last time and gets the call to be hard to beat once more. (6) SONICPEDIA came home strong two back but just missed. Last was a parked the mile effort and he broke in the stretch. Best effort makes him a serious threat. (1) STORM HAWK has speed and the rail but faces better.
Race 12
(4) DOUBLE A GLORIA just missed two back on the front end and came on too late in last. Looks like a win is the logical progression. (3) TOES has rallied late in all recent. (1) JAY JAY REDSKY has speed and the rail and will be around in the stretch. A little racing luck could get him to the top when it counts.
Race 13
(1) ICONIC STYLE put in a terrific uncovered effort in last after clearing second-tier traffic and will be hard to beat tonight. (3) SHADY TOWN wired lesser in last. (4) LLOYD ARNOLD also wired lesser in last and has to be respected.
Race 14
(1) MAJOR AT HEART takes another modest drop and draws the rail in a now-or-never scenario. (4) EXPRESSO FORTE faces weaker. Has shown some early speed and some late speed and can not be overlooked. (3) LIGHTNINGINTHESKY seems to be much more consistent than the rest.
Race 15
(7) AMERICAN PILOT closed strongly in latest and will be tough with same late rally. (3) MIZUNO ships in, draws well. (4) AWESTREOS was parked the mile two back and tired. Sat close up throughout in last and weakened a bit. Should be close but has to toughen up to get 'er done.
