Race 2
(4) BOOYAH TJ lightly raced trotter owns a good burst of speed and should be closer turning for home. (1) UNLIMITED WINNER gets the best post off a nice win and faces similar; threat. (5) LUCKY DANISH lacks stamina late but could hit the board with a smooth trip.
Race 3
(6) BRADYMEISTER owns the most ability in the field but does come off a layoff and is prone to breaks. (1) LOCONOTION trotting mare gets the best post and owns a victory at this level. (3) MJS VICTORY JODI has flashed a decent burst of speed when timed right; threat.
Race 4
In a wide open and evenly matched race (1) LIL MISS DYNAMITE is 0 for her career but will offer a big price from the best post. (4) UPTOWN ROMANCE picks up the top driver against a suspect bunch. (5) CONTINUANCE could show some improvement but needs a lot of racing luck; command a price.
Race 5
(2) FIFTY JOULES five-year-old trotter gets a good post and should be in line for a decent trip. (1) GUTH put in an improved effort last start and is one of few with upside in the race. (6) NISIA has some question marks coming off a scratch but can hit the board at a price.
Race 6
(4) MODEL NINETYFOUR popped at a price last out and is right back in at the same level. (6) FLIP ON IT just missed last start against slightly better; threat. (9) REAL SILVER has five career wins in ten starts which is far better than the rest of the field.
Race 7
(2) KF SHARK gets sent out for proven connections in a field full of question marks. (1) CYCLONE ASHORE raced well last out and looks to be in line for a nice trip up close. (3) FANTASYPAN gets a negative trainer change and looks to offer low value; use caution.
Race 8
(9) OIL SLICKER comes off a layoff but was the driver's choice and has flashed the most ability. (1) CRIME SCENE CRUZER looks terrible on paper but gets the best post against a really weak field. (5) HERSMAN gets a good driver change and is one of few that's been competitive at this level.
Race 9
(8) GET PACKIN classy trotter scored from this same spot last out and just needs to avoid an early skirmish to make it two straight. (2) BAND'S SUPERSTAR put in a really nice effort last week and is one of few threats to the top choice. (3) SBM GEORGIAN STAR mare could need a start coming off a layoff but is one of the faster trotters in the race.
Race 10
(8) JUMPIN JACK J is just now back in racing shape and just missed at this level two starts ago. (9) FREDSABULLDOG could be in line for a ground saving trip at a price. (5) BLESSING STONE parlayed a perfect trip last out but looks to need more.
Race 11
(2) SYMPHANTAB bumps up a level off a victory but finds an inconsistent field. (4) ROSE RUN JERIAH is in the same boat as the top choice. (7) LIMA LUCKY takes a huge drop down in class and just needs to find a way into the race.
Race 12
(7) MOST REMARKABLE veteran pacer finds a suspect bunch, will offer a nice price, and just needs a smooth trip for a big chance late. (1) SANDYS CANDY gets sent out for a provisional driver but does benefit from the best post. (5) TIMEWELL should be closer turning for home against easier; threat.
Race 13
In a wide open and tough race to gauge (9) EXPRESSO FORTE needs some racing luck but could pick up the pieces in the right scenario. (2) FULLY LOADED GUN should probably be considered the horse to beat especially with a huge driver change. (1) MR BAILEY gets post relief down in class; threat.
Race 14
(8) JUDE HALL gelding won the most money in the field last year by far and picks up a top driver. (6) WEST RIVER TEX flashed decent closing ability two starts back and is one of few who's been competitive at this level. (9) GALLOWS POLE bumps up in class and would need more; use underneath.
Race 15
(4) ICONIC STYLE will look to drop and pop and will be used aggressively. (2) LIGHTNINGINTHESKY is capable against this field but has just been racing evenly; command a price. (6) HERE COMES WHITEY also drops to the bottom level and should be much closer turning for home.
