Race 1
(5) NOBODY PANIC probably needs a start but does have room to improve for a new barn. (2) MISS RIGS has just been racing evenly; command a price. (1) VICTORIA SWAN gets sent out for hot connections against a very soft bunch.
Race 2
(9) HANGON MAN shows some competitive efforts at this level and will offer a big price. (6) ORION'S BELT went a big three-quarters of a mile last week before fading late. (5) MCPORT IN A STORM rarely wins but does look fast enough with a smooth trip.
Race 3
(5) TURN TWO was a game winner against similar two back. (1) RHONEYCRISP should be in line for a great trip up close. (9) STRIKING TURBO had some sneaky late trot last week just missing.
Race 4
(8) SAINT PETER needs some racing luck but can sweep past late with a decent setup. (1) LUCKY REI benefits from the rail but still needs more. (2) NOAH'S SHARK hasn't won a race in a long time; use underneath.
Race 5
(4) QUEEN OF RACING is just now back in racing shape after the layoff; threat. (6) U-BOMB HANOVER adds trotting hopples and picks up a top driver. (9) JAILHOUSE HOOCH should be closer turning for home this week.
Race 6
In a really weak field, (7) MAJORITY WINS TWO picks back up a top driver and will offer a big price. (5) QUATRA FOLIUM hit the board at this level last start. (4) BLACK RIVER DRAGON closed some late ground in the qualifier last week.
Race 7
(6) NORTHERN SPARK is just now back in racing shape and picks up a huge driver change. (9) LADY EDITH will look to drop and pop down in class. (3) HOORAY FOR WILLIE gets a big post edge on the main threats in the race.
Race 8
(9) BESTINTHEBUSINESS just missed last week racing gamely. (6) THINK BIGGER shows some competitive efforts against slightly better. (2) HES WELL CONNECTED burned cash at this level last week and looks to take heavy tote action again.

Race 10
(9) GOOD SIDE was close against slightly better three back. (6) GRANTLAND is just now rounding back into shape after the layoff. (5) MR RANGER adds second-time Lasix but will need a good drive from a provisional pilot.
Race 11
(4) BANK GUARD might have an excuse with the off track last week. (1) ICINGON DE CUPCAKE keeps the top driver with the best post. (3) SS TYS AFLYIN is probably best used underneath against this group.
