Race 1
(1) MIGHTY MINI lightly raced filly has some upside racing against a soft bunch. (2) SUNSET ACRES JAMES should be in line for a decent trip if the 3-year-old can mind his manners. (3) MRS PEPPERS scored a maiden-breaking win last out against similar.
Race 2
(5) ARTFUL BLISS gets sent out for capable connections and looks to offer a big price. (3) GOTTA GO B B takes a significant drop in class against weaker. (4) UNTOLD LEGEND doesn't win often but does show a win at this level.
Race 3
(6) ALANA'S WAYS owns a ton of ability and faces much weaker. (4) INDIANA ANAMEGO is capable of hitting the ticket underneath at a big price. (1) SOUTHERN KID should be ready for an improved effort second start back off the scratched sick.
Race 4
(2) JACK'S MAJOR shows decent efforts against slightly better and picks up a huge driver change. (7) CONQUER THE CHANCE has room to improve third start out in a new barn. (9) MCLEISH has hit the board in four straight.
Race 5
(1) LONG LIVE THE KING sophomore gelding will run up the score if he stays trotting; short price. (2) BANK GUARD has been improving despite burning cash at this level last week. (3) SEMI BEGONIA just missed at this level two back.
Race 6
(9) DUSTYLANEKAZAAM adds second-time Lasix picking up the top driver. (5) HARVEYBEAR has been knocking on the door against similar; threat. (2) R ES JJ shows competitive efforts at this level and gets a great starting post.
Race 7
(4) MASON MAN had some sneaky late trot last week against similar and looks to offer a huge price. (3) RAISE THE W flashed some ability at Hoosier and has room to improve second start out in a new barn. (1) BOBBY ONE MILE scored at this level last week and now gets the rail.
Race 8
(7) KHAN BLUE CHIP picks up a huge driver change in an inconsistent field. (5) FUSION FIVE went a huge three-quarters of a mile against better two back. The 4-year-old just needs to ration out his speed. (4) ULTIMATE G has been facing slightly better at the Meadows.
Race 9
(4) STEALTH JETTA should be much sharper third start out for capable connections. (1) STRONG HOPE benefits from the best post; threat. (3) MARGARITA MAN has yet to win on the year; use underneath.
Race 10
(1) GUNS N MONEY could offer the best price of the contenders in a weak field full of question marks. (2) HA HA should be in line for a decent trip up close. (9) HARFO HANOVER has hit the board in two straight at this level.
Race 11
(6) DREAMSTEELER owns the most class of the bunch but will need a trouble-free trip. (3) IMPRESSIVE CHIEF gets a post and driver edge on the top choice; fires early. (9) CALM AS CAN BEE shows excellent closing ability over the track.
Race 12
(1) BRIAN J has flashed a big burst of speed for the new barn. (2) CARIBBEAN SHOOTER faces slightly softer with a good post. (3) SOUTHWIND JOKER will look to drop and pop down in class.
Race 13
In a very tough race to gauge, (5) DANISH DESIGN looks terrible on paper but fits in with this bunch and will offer a huge price. (7) SUNSET GIRL picks up a top driver and has hit the board in two of three. (8) ME THE BOSS needs a lot of racing luck but showed some improvement last week despite the disqualification.
Race 14
In another weak field, (3) MORELAND FLASH adds second-time Lasix and is one of few in the race that shows some competitive efforts against better. (6) GRANTLAND probably needs a start but kicked home nicely in the qualifier. (9) JO JO IN THE SKY should be line for ground-saving trip up close.
Race 15
(5) MUSCLE ON BROADWAY picks up a huge driver change dropping in class. (9) BROADWAY JOE finished second at this level as an overwhelming favorite two back. The four-year-old will offer a much better price this time out. (2) FANTASY LEAGUE probably needs another start after a seven month layoff; use caution.
Race 16
(6) E R TRUEVALUE takes a huge drop down against softer. (3) NORM AT WORK had some sneaky late pace against better two back. (5) ONEISALONELYNUMBER well bred pacer flashed a big burst of speed last week closing from far back.
