Race 1
(2) LILYS REAL BOY will offer the best price of the contenders; threat. (1) ROCK OUT appears to be the horse to beat dropping in class. (3) THAT'S SOME PLAN rarely wins but has been competitive against much tougher on the year.
Race 2
(1) FRANK THE FISH is one for fifty-one lifetime but raced well last week from a very tough spot. (7) HUDSON VALLEY well bred trotter has lots of room to improve in his second start back off the layoff. (4) WHYKATIEWHY flashed some ability at two and just needs to stay flat for a piece.
Race 3
(1) MAJORITY WINS TWO picks back up a top driver and finally draws inside. (3) HEZA HOTSHOT has finished first and second at this level in two straight. (2) SOUTHERN SAGE has just been racing evenly; use underneath.
Race 4
(5) NORTHERN SPARK gelding has won two straight at this level and makes his first start out for new connections. (1) SL ROYAL GEORGE just needs to stay trotting for a victory. (3) MAN SHES HOT was solid in the qualifier for a new barn.
Race 5
(4) DP SPOOFEE doesn't look the best on paper but finds a really weak and inconsistent field. (2) BOURBANS BEST could be the horse to beat with an easy early lead. (3) D GS SUAVEMENTE rarely wins but does pick up a top driver.
Race 6
(3) SECRET TRAINER looks ready for a nice effort adding first-time Lasix off of a really nice qualifier. (6) HERE'S JOLENE has hit the board in five of six starts. (9) ULTIMATE ONCORE had some sneaky late trot in the qualifier and will offer a big price.
Race 7
(4) ISAAC'S IDEAL will look to make it three straight against similar. (9) MOONSHINE MICKEY has been very competitive in this class. (1) HARVEYBEAR draws the best post in field full of question marks.
Race 8
(4) BANKER TWENTYFIVE just needs to stay trotting for a piece. (5) COWBOY COUNTRY might have more to offer after an easy win at this level. (1) DYNAMIC MAN should be closer turning for home this week starting from the rail.
Race 9
(1) WESTERN FELLA went a nice effort last start just missing. (3) INSTANT THRILL drops down a notch and keeps the top driver. (9) AMERICA'S FLEET should be in line for a better trip this week against softer.
Race 10
(2) MONARCH BAUR fits in with this group despite bumping up a notch. (5) JUST A STEADY HALL has had no excuse in two straight; use caution. (3) ONA DREAM went a really fast three-quarters of a mile last race just tiring a bit late.
Race 11
(4) SUPREME MACH N looks due for a good effort drawing inside. (3) ROLL'EM UP gets sent out for a capable barn picking back up a top driver. (5) PLAY IT AGAIN SAM had some decent late pace last week against slightly tougher.

Race 13
(10) HOLYHOLYGUACAMOLIE needed the start last week off a month. The 8-year-old trotter is very fast when things go his way. (9) SEA FEATHER can beat this bunch with a smooth trip. (1) SUMMIT CITY ANNIE has just been racing evenly; command a price.
Race 14
(3) GIUSEPPE MOLLUSCA has not won in a long time but shows good efforts against better. (4) APLIN HANOVER heavy morning-line favorite couldn't seal the deal last week at this level despite getting a very soft middle half. (2) MCLASSIC has hit the board against much tougher on the year.
Race 15
(9) DUSTO should offer a good price taking a significant drop in class. (4) ZOOM ON ROMEO also drops down a notch after a solid effort against better. (1) JOES ON A ROLL put in a good closing move from a tough spot last race.
Race 16
(1) FIRE IN THE BELLY will be used aggressively down in class. (6) JUXLIVIN MY DREAM made up a ton of late ground last week; big chance. (2) ONEISALONELYNUMBER shows some good efforts over the track but needs a smooth trip.
