Best Bet: YAWANNASEESUMMUSCLE (3rd)
Spot Play: MONARCH BLUECHIP (12th)
Race 1
(2) DREAMANOTHERDREAM will look to drop and pop down in class. (4) POPPA'S PICK ships in from out east and faces easier; threat. (6) NINO MARINO doesn't look the best on paper but is capable of picking up the pieces in the right scenario.
Race 2
(4) CHICKENWITHABANJO has just been racing evenly but finds a weak field full of question marks. (6) BOSSY AUSSIE has been competitive against similar and will offer a big price. (5) REAL EVIDENCE filly makes her career debut on lasix for the first time. She is one of few in the race with upside.
Race 3
(7) YAWANASEESUMMUSCLE well bred filly makes her second career start off a big first effort showing a nice burst. (4) UP CHUCKIE is tough to endorse on the top spot but could hit the ticket underneath. (8) HANGIN JUDGE burned cash last week but should offer much better value from a tough spot.
Race 4
(2) BUPA BRUSIER has yet to win in thirteen career starts but has been much improved in his last few efforts. (1) ROYAL FINALE gets the best post off a nice win. (9) DO WHAT picks up a positive driver change and will offer a big price.
Race 5
(5) HEMLOCK TOUGH GUY just missed at this level last week and should offer the best price of the contenders. (3) ROCKIN H CHEERY O has been competitive against much tougher but looks to offer low value. (1) S F SCORPION gets the best post against a weak bunch.
Race 6
(5) ARNIES KICK START faces weaker competition for new connections and is back on lasix; threat. (3) LIMA RITCH doesn't look the best on paper but is capable of a good brush. (9) BOLD SECRET is probably the horse to beat dropping in class but has made some miscues recently; use caution.
Race 7
(2) MEADOWVIEW ARTY went a big three-quarters of a mile last start against much better. (3) VAYA CON DIOS gets sent out second start for a new barn against easier. (4) BUCKEYE PATTY comes into the race off a scratch and is best used underneath.
Race 8
(9) OUR MCLOVIN takes a huge drop in class and keeps the top driver. (8) REAL SAMART is another dropper in the field but needs to find a way into the race. (2) MODERN WARFARE might have needed the start last week and has room to improve.
Race 9
(6) DAYPLANNER trotting mare owns a class edge on most of the field when right. (4) QUANTUM CASHMAN should have had more to offer in his last few but is capable with a good effort. (2) SAY IT BEST comes off a win against easier and is best used underneath.
Race 10
(1) T M MAJOR STORM adds second time lasix with the best post. (5) ONEMORELASTCHANCE was an easy winner at this level a few weeks ago. (4) PRVO was the top driver's choice; threat.
Race 11
In one of the toughest races to handicap on the card, (9) UP ALL NIGHT needs a good setup but will offer a big price. (3) BUMMED OUT has been competitive against better; threat. (2) GORDIEISANARTIST should not be played on top especially at a short price.
Race 12
(2) MONARCH BLUECHIP nice looking trotter makes his first start in the top barn. (5) NED PEPPER was tremendous last week off the layoff. If the trotter races like that he has a big shot. (4) ROSE RUN QUASAR will look to make it four wins in five starts but needs more.
Race 13
(2) D J SUPREME will look to drop and pop against easier. (9) MODEL NINETYFOUR also takes a significant drop in class and has a good history at this level. (5) BET ON ART has just been racing evenly; use underneath.
Race 14
(5) ROCKIN SOCKEM makes his first start for new connections against easier; driver's choice. (4) TOYS LEGACY has been racing gamely against similar. (9) MYSTICAL BAY has hit the board in three straight starts; threat.
Race 15
In a weak and inconsistent field, (1) LANSDOWNE ROAD will look to take no prisoners down in class for the top driver. (2) RIVER N ONIONS at one time would have been a heavy favorite in this class but has just been racing evenly. (9) SONIC RAIDER owns wins against better but hasn't been right for a few weeks.
