Race 1
(1) MIGHTY MINI gets a huge post advantage against a soft bunch. (7) VOODOO MAN sophomore trotter might have gained some confidence after a maiden-breaking score last week. (9) ASHLEY FREEDOM picks up a top driver and does own a win at this level.
Race 2
(3) PERKY PIPSQUEAK raced gamely parked the mile last out. (1) LAST BIT OF LUCK has hit the board in three straight at this level. (2) CONQUER THE CHANCE should be in line for a decent trip up close.
Race 3
(1) ALANA'S WAYS owns good ability and finds a weak field full of question marks. (5) LINDYINOVERDRIVE has been competitive at this level in two of three. (2) MY INDIANA filly trotter owns decent gate speed when she minds her manners.
Race 4
(1) ROYAL ASSASSIN will look to drop and pop down in class. (2) ONEISALONELYNUMBER picks up a huge driver change and could find a much easier lead this week. (9) PRINCEOFROCKNROLL has room to improve third start back off the short layoff.
Race 5
(2) LONG LIVE THE KING has dominated in two straight; short price. (9) SL ROYAL GEORGE has been sharp in two straight after having no excuse the start prior. (1) MOOLAH BEGONIA might be one of few threats in the race but would need racing luck.
Race 6
(3) THE KOP picks up a top driver in a weak field. (1) TYE SEELSTER has some question marks coming off a scratch but had good late pace at this level last month. (2) HOT SHOT HILL has hit the board in three straight at this level; short price.
Race 7
(7) FANTASY LEAGUE can probably handle this group with an early lead. (6) CHARLESTON HALL will offer a monster price picking up a top driver. (2) PEMBROKE SNAPSHOT hit the board at this level from off the pace last start.
Race 8
(5) TEBOW TIME was an easy winner when last seen at this level a few back. (2) KHAN BLUE CHIP gets sent out for top connections; fires early. (9) LUCKY KING should be in line for a ground-saving trip up close.
Race 9
(2) NORMAN SKIDD MARKS will offer a nice price getting sent out for a capable barn. (8) NORTHERN SKYWAY raced well last week from a very tough spot. (3) DRIVING MISS SADIE has been very inconsistent from week to week but a good effort puts the 4-year-old in the mix.
Race 10
(2) HUNCHIE benefits from the top driver and a good starting post. (9) T RED takes a big bump up in class but can pick up the pieces in the right scenario. (5) OWEN HANOVER shows some big efforts in this barn a few starts back.
Race 11
(1) BOOYAH TJ might need a start but has a decent history at the track. (2) MYSTICAL POWER owns a big brush when timed right. (5) CHIP OR DON has lots of room to improve first start out for a new barn.
Race 12
In an evenly matched race, (1) MCJAGERSONTHEMOVE drops down and draws the best post. (2) FUSION FIVE has been competitive against better on the year. (3) SAMMY SAID is fast enough when right; threat.
Race 13
(4) MASON MAN takes a significant drop down and picks up a good driver change. (10) ICINGON DE CUPCAKE doesn't look the best on paper but is a major threat with a trouble-free trip. (3) GO GO GEORGE raced well last week against similar.
Race 14
(1) GUNS N MONEY needs an easier middle half to seal the deal; fires early. (2) MCMOOSE should be much closer turning for home this week. (3) ENJOY THE SCENERY will offer a big price but is probably best used underneath.
Race 15
(5) SHINING GLORY had some sneaky late pace last week at this level. (3) THEBESTMANICANBE also raced better than the line looks last out. (2) R ES JJ has been much improved in three straight.
Race 16
(2) GRANTLAND was razor sharp first start off the bench. The six-year-old should have more to offer this week. (1) ALWAYS A FORCE picks up a huge driver change with the best post. (3) HILLBILLY HANOVER has been off a month but is very fast when right.
