Race 1
(1) DONTCALLME DUDE picks up a huge driver change first start out for a new barn. (7) JOHN L has room to improve third start back off the layoff adding Lasix. (6) DONTWASTEOURTIME will offer a big price in a field full of question marks.
Race 2
(9) PLOW BOY has been knocking on the door at this level. (4) GREAT ELIMINATOR owns only one win on the year but should be much closer turning for home this week. (3) INDIANA ANAMEGO trotting mare was a game winner in this class last out.
Race 3
(3) NEED CASH FOR GAS shows more ability than most of the field. (1) THE LAST SHARK will benefit from the drop and the rail. (4) D GS SUAVEMENTE picks up a top driver in a really weak and inconsistent field.
Race 4
(7) YANKEE L is 0 for thirty-six starts on the season but has been close in recent. (5) MAD MAUDE has hit the board against similar in five of eight. (3) ROCK A HULA BABY is a question mark having been off three weeks; use caution.
Race 5
(7) MRS PEPPERS appears to be turning a corner having raced big in three straight. (5) ASHLEY FREEDOM will be sharper second start back off the short layoff. (9) RHONEYCRISP has just been racing evenly; use underneath.
Race 6
(1) ACTION METRO MAX gets sent out for a top barn with the best post. (3) AMERICAN DREAMER is probably the fastest horse in the race but has made breaks in two straight. (4) SOME POWER has room to improve first start out for a new barn.
Race 7
(4) BOOYAH TJ should be sharper third start back off the layoff. (6) TICKET TO SEATTLE has made the most money of the field on the year and will offer a big price. (5) STEALTH HANOVER showed big time ability last year at three and has put together two decent qualifiers in a row.
Race 8
(8) WILBUR'S Z TAM had won three straight in this class before bumping up a notch. (6) GLENEAGLES is very inconsistent from week to week but is capable. (9) WALKING TALL was impressive last week against slightly weaker.
Race 9
(7) HOORAY FOR WILLIE had some sneaky late pace last race against much tougher. (8) EMERALD CHIP might have been the horse to beat with a better post. (9) CAN TAB THIS picks up a top driver second start back off the layoff.
Race 10
(2) MCLASSIC should be in line for a decent trip up close. (4) ARTACHE HANOVER closed nicely last week at this level. (1) FANCY FOOTWORK will look to drop and pop down in class.
Race 11
(8) MOOLAH BEGONIA three-year-old filly has been huge since the private acquisition. (7) BANK GUARD has had a solid year; threat. (1) BOBBY ONE MILE shows some good efforts at this level.
Race 12
(1) SINNERS PRAYER should benefit from the start over the track last week; fires early. (8) SENATOR CHARLIE will need a lot of racing luck and a fast pace to close into. (4) BESTINTHEBUSINESS owns back class and is very fast when right.
Race 13
In a really weak field, (5) BENNS CLEAROUT is one of few in the race with a decent burst of speed. (2) DENVER DEAL seven-year-old trotter needs to mind his manners for a chance late. (7) REAL DJ HANOVER was an easy winner in the qualifier last week and will offer a huge price.
Race 14
(9) TWINKLE LIKE A STAR is just now back in racing shape; threat. (8) JAZZY JOHN finds a very soft spot and shows some faster races than most of the field. (5) NO FOREIGN EXCHANGE had some decent late pace two back.
Race 15
(3) FASHION CHOCOLATE six-year-old looks to be back on track after a long layoff. (1) NORMAN SKIDD MARKS picks back up a top driver with the best starting post. (4) IMPRESSIVE CHIEF raced well last week closing good late ground.
Race 16
(6) ODDS ON SERPENS well-bred pacer shows a win at this level and should offer value. (4) MCMOOSE just missed in this class last week. (2) SINK THE MCBISMARK pacer rarely wins and is probably best used underneath.
