Race 2
(8) ROSE RUN PRINCESS should offer a big price and just needs to find a way into the race. (4) ONE DIRECTION might be ready for a good effort off the bench. (9) CROWNED WITH GLORY gets sent out for a low percentage pilot but is one of the fastest trotters in the race.
Race 3
(2) CULLENS BLUE JEAN should be able to beat this bunch with a smooth trip. (3) SOMEKINDAPARTY takes a good drop in class; threat. (5) SANTAS SPECIAL looks terrible on paper; use underneath.
Race 4
(3) MOTOWN MOE is very fast off the gate. The pacer just needs to ration out his speed. (4) P L DRAGON closed big ground last week from far back. (5) BREAKIN THE LAW went from empty to awesome last start against weaker.
Race 5
(8) ROYAL ASSASSIN needs to find a way into the race but is a threat with a good setup. (2) IRISH IHADA HARLEY takes a huge drop in class with the best driver. (7) TEAHOUSE HALL will offer a big price but is best used underneath.
Race 6
(1) KING MUSCLES looks to be in line for a great trip up close. (3) VAYA CON DIOS has burned cash in three straight; use caution. (9) HOORAY KATIE rarely wins but should be able to shake loose for a piece late.
Race 7
(8) READYSETLETSROLL was sharp off the layoff and should be ready for a better effort second time back. (3) NATHAN beat a softer bunch last week but does have another good starting post. (1) BRANDED GUN gets the best post in a weak and inconsistent field.
Race 8
(2) REDISCOVERY six-year-old stallion gets sent out for the top barn in the country against much weaker. (8) T RED is very inconsistent from week to week but is capable of hitting the ticket with a good effort. (3) HARDTS OR BETTOR has just been racing evenly but should be in line for a ground saving trip up close.
Race 9
(5) MEGATRON raced well last week just missing from a tough post. (6) UBETTERUBETTERUBET has been competitive against tougher on the year. (4) EWALD HANOVER gets sent out for proven connections.
Race 10
(1) STEVIE DIAMONDS gets the best post in a wide open and evenly matched race. (5) MAN HE CAN SCOOT was the driver's choice and will be used aggressively. (7) WAYNE THE LEFTY owns a lot of back class but needs a fast pace to close into.
Race 11
(5) VICIOUS LIES will look to make it two straight off an easy win off a layoff. (4) KICK A LOT takes a huge drop down in competition. (9) FEAR THE FOOTBALL should be closer turning for home this week; use underneath.
Race 12
(9) ADIOS AMIGOS pacer has been competitive at this level. (5) THESHARKSBACKNTOWN comes into the race off a win against similar last start. (2) MORGANSGETSHERWAY has room to improve for a new barn.
Race 13
(3) ROYAL KEE WEE N went a big three quarters of a mile last start before tiring late. If the pacer rations out his speed he will be tough to catch; driver's choice. (7) JETSTREAMDONTTOUCH raced well last out at this level and picks up the top driver. (5) JUMPIN JACK J is fast enough to compete but is probably best used underneath.
Race 14
(9) HERE COMES HUDD should have had more last week at this level but is one of few in the race that shows competitive lines. (7) BEACH BOY TOY could pick up the pieces late with a good setup. (4) AT DAYBREAK is 0 for the last two years; command a price.
Race 15
(9) IMA NUISANCE takes a significant drop in class; threat. (4) TOUCH AND GO veteran pacer should be much closer turning for home this week. (6) ELOCUTIONIST dominated a soft bunch down in class last week; needs more.
Race 16
(1) CANADIAN TOUCH picks up a huge driver change. If the pacer minds his manners he will be tough to beat. (2) I SCOOT FOR CASH is just now back in racing shape and has room to improve. (5) ENEE WEENIE AND ME pacer can jump up with good efforts from time to time.
