1 with 5 with 1,2,5 with 2,3,5,6,9 = $15
Race 1
(6) CROWN AFFAIR has room to improve getting sent out second start for new connections. (9) ONA DREAM might be better racing off a helmet this week; threat. (2) PEMBROKE SNAPSHOT probably needs a start but is capable if ready.
Race 2
(7) HONEEMOON SUITE could be ready for an improved effort third start back off a long layoff. (5) AND WE'LL SEE YA has just been racing evenly but finds a spot to be competitive. (9) MANOLITO MONTOYA had some sneaky late pace up in class two back.
Race 3
(6) BODY OF WORK is a very risky proposition showing breaks in three of four. If the 6-year-old stays trotting he wins for fun. (7) BUMBLEBZBUZZ doesn't win often but should offer a big price in a weak field. (5) HERBIE'S GLIDER picks up a huge driver change and is just now rounding into racing shape after a long layoff.
Race 4
(2) KEYSTONE MEMPHIS was parked the mile last week bet as the favorite. The well bred 8-year-old can redeem himself with a trouble-free trip. (1) UPPERCUTZ looks to be in line for a great trip up close. (3) THE KOP picks up a top driver against an inconsistent field.
Race 5
(5) STRIKING TURBO gelding might deserve one more chance despite being 0 for his career. (3) RHONEYCRISP owns a recent win and just missed from a tough spot last time out. (4) FRANK THE FISH flashed some ability against similar but has been off five weeks.
Race 6
(4) BETTING ODDS has room to improve after finally staying flat in two straight starts. (6) HEZA HOTSHOT picks up a huge driver change third start back off the short layoff. (7) REMEMBER THEN has hit the board in four straight.
Race 7
(9) HERE'S JOLENE is very consistent hitting the board in four of five. (2) MEADOWBRANCH MAX gets sent out first start in a new barn picking up a top driver. (3) GUIDO HANOVER well bred 4-year-old might be turning a corner after an easy victory.
Race 8
(2) NO PETS gets an interesting morning line having won two of three since the long layoff. (1) JDS CROC-A-LYLE finds a soft spot to do some damage from the rail. (9) NATIVE'S BEST BET has burned cash in three straight at this level; command a price.
Race 9
(5) BROADWAY JOE had no excuse last week faltering late but will be tough to catch with an easy early lead. (3) BOBBY ONE MILE trotting gelding is very inconsistent from week to week. A good effort puts him close. (4) COWBOY COUNTRY looks ready second start back off the long layoff.
Race 10
(2) BLAKEMORE will likely offer the best price of the contenders. (3) KEHMMYWOOD is probably the horse to beat dropping down in class. (1) MODEL NINETYFOUR benefits from the best post; use underneath.
Race 11
(1) REVRAC HARBOUR will look to drop and pop down in class; short price. (4) SL ROYAL GEORGE needs a good effort but can threaten with a decent setup. (6) WELL CONNECTED KID shows some big miles against better in this barn.
Race 12
(5) RYCROFT N faces much weaker dropping down. (2) IN COMMANDO veteran pacer shows some competitive efforts against similar. (9) ONEISALONELYNUMBER has been competitive against similar on the year.
Race 13
(2) LADY EDITH finds a weak and inconsistent field after racing gamely last time out. (5) HITITOUTOFTHEPARK just missed beating a much better bunch last week; short price. (1) J-S JESSES GIRL looks terrible on paper but should benefit from the drop and the rail.
Race 14
(3) I'VEGOTAGIRLCRUSH had some sneaky late pace up in class off the bench last week. (2) UNIX HANOVER could be in line for a decent ground-saving trip up close. (9) BEGINNER'S LUCK has lots of room to improve second start out for a new barn and benefits from a start over the track.
Race 15
(3) SOUTHERN SAGE finds a field full of question marks and looks to offer a decent price. (4) REAL AMARETTI threatened at this level last out. (5) MCGYVER has hit the board twice against similar.
Race 16
(3) MCLASSIC gelding should find this spot much more to his liking dropping down and finally drawing inside. (1) MCKINLEY IVY raced deceptively well last week from a very tough spot. (6) HES WELL CONNECTED has flashed good gate speed at the track and keeps the top driver.
