4,5 with 6,8,9 with 9 with 1,2,4,5 = $24

Race 1

(5) WHATCHYASTARINAT is sneaky-sharp right now and he might benefit from a top driver. (2) ALWAYS A FORCE set a lifetime mark down in class last week while unchallenged. (3) FRATERNITY needs a good setup but is capable.

Race 2

(1) TRIXIE’S JETHRO will be very tough to beat with an easy early lead. (2) TOP DOLLAR is an impeccably bred trotter that could be in line for a decent trip up close. (4) KEYSTONE CHESTER had some sneaky late trot last week against a slightly better bunch.

Race 3

(6) READYSETLETSROLL can pop at a price with an ideal setup. (9) STRAIGHTOUTACONSIN has been knocking on the door in recent tries. (3) K-ROCK has made the most money on the year and drops down a notch.

Race 4

(8) LONG LIVE THE KING has really blossomed into an exciting racehorse. The 3-year-old went a wicked three-quarters of a mile last time. (4) THE NEXT TRIUMPH drops down off a solid second. (6) STORMONT WIZARD has room to improve third start back off the long layoff.

Race 5

(7) CAPTAIN VELOCITY should offer good value bumping up and gets sent out for a red-hot barn. (4) ISLAND JET will be very dangerous with a top driver. (1) WORLD OF GAMING shows a win in this class and gets the best post.

Race 6

(2) TSUNAMI SEELSTER raced very well from a tough spot last out. (4) BARN SIS has been competitive against much tougher in recent. (3) NORTHERN SKYWAY bumps up a notch off an impressive victory.

Race 7

(1) MAXIMUS DEO has been huge for new connections in this series so far. (2) CHIP OR DON set a lifetime mark last week going coast to coast. (6) DARTMOUTH HALL needs a good setup but has been competitive with this group.

Race 8

(5) GYPSY LEATHER gets sent out for capable connections and owns tons of gate speed; fires early. (3) VALIENTE STRIDE is looking for three straight and has been on a tear since the first claim. (1) J J TANNER should be in line for a decent ground-saving trip.

Race 9

(5) CROSSWINDS DODGER had no business winning last week from far back off a really easy middle half. (2) BUBBIE BOY has hit the board in four straight including two nice wins. (1) BROOKDALE FLETCHER owns only one win on the year; use underneath.

Race 10

(9) UNDERCOVER STRIKE should be in a better position turning for home this week. (6) POP I is the horse to beat on paper but nothing will be conceded in the final this week. (4) JUST A STEADY HALL has won two of three for a top barn.

Race 11

(4) CROSBYS CLAM BAKE will be tough to beat with an uncontested lead; fires early. (5) GRANA PADANNO needs the leaders to mix it up early for a chance to sweep past late. (3) GALE FORCE HANOVER will likely get a chance to sit on the top choice’s back the entire mile.

Race 12

(8) SOUTHWIND AMAZON has been the ultimate war-horse the last few years. The pacer will look to make it 22 wins in 38 starts on the year. (6) FOURBOLTMANE gets a huge post edge on the favorite in the race and has been sharp. (9) STRIDE OF PRIDE owns multiple wins at this level on the year and should get a decent setup to close into.

Race 13

(9) BIG GAME HUNTER drops down a notch after being bet under the board against a better field last time out. (6) GRANTLAND should be sharper third start back off the long layoff. (10) ROYAL ASSASSIN dropped and popped down in class last week but will likely need more from a tough starting spot.

Race 14

(1) SWAN ON THE BANK just missed against better two back. (2) LABATT HANOVER ships in from out east and will offer a big price. (5) STAR BUSTER is very inconsistent from week to week but a good effort puts him in the mix.

Race 15

(6) DRAGONOLOGY might be starting to get a little tired after a long season, but his best effort should be more than enough against this group. (5) KHAN BLUE CHIP has just missed in two straight; fires early. (4) BLAKEMORE takes a big step up but is getting sent out for hot connections.

Race 16

(9) TERRORIFICVELOCITY is a well-bred pacer that is capable of pacing a big mile with a good setup. (5) SAM HILL is still going strong and owns tons of back class when right. (7) ASCARYONE HANOVER gets sent out first start for the top barn in the country.
