Race 2
(6) SOMEONECALLTHEPOPO has plenty of room to improve in his second lifetime start and gets sent out for a new barn. (5) TE'S CONMYSOCKSOFF owns only one lifetime win but did put in a better effort last out. (1) LEGENDONTHEGREENS gets the best post in a weak field.
Race 3
(2) CINCINNATI MYSTRES mare went from awesome to empty last out for an inconsistent trainer. A good effort puts her in the mix. (4) TEXAS RIDGE drops in for a tag against softer; threat. (6) GET PACKIN thirteen-year-old trotter owns a good burst of speed off the gate; fires early.
Race 4
(6) ACTIVATOR had no shot last out but the top driver should get this one involved earlier this week. (2) STRANGE HANOVER has just been racing evenly; command a price. (1) FORTUNE'S JENNA mare gets sent out for a low percentage pilot up in class; use underneath.
Race 5
(5) ES MUCHO will look to make it three straight wins to kick off the year. (1) BOOYAH TJ really turned it around last out; threat. (6) GOVERNMENT OFFICAL owns a decent burst of speed and could benefit from a fast early pace.
Race 6
In a weak field (4) UPFRONT CHIP DADDY had been getting better with every start and will be tough to beat with an early lead. (3) SOMEDAY LU comes into the race with some question marks off a scratch but should offer value underneath. (7) TREASURE VOLO four-year-old mare makes her third start on the season and has room to move forward.
Race 7
(3) ULSHOOTUREYEOUTKID went a very tough trip last week in Michigan but should find this spot a touch easier with a smooth trip. (5) FIERCE DESIRE put in a nice effort down in class last race but probably needs more. (2) JAWORSKI is 0 for the year and needs a trouble-free trip to hit the top spot.
Race 8
(1) KENNAIRN LIFE SIGN takes a significant drop in class with the best post. (2) BET ON ART has been in terrible form in recent, however the pacer has jumped up with big efforts from time to time. (3) MAJOR MIKE is 0 for 13 on the year but could hit the ticket at a decent price with some racing luck.
Race 9
(2) ANNIE'S MASTER got parked the mile last out but should be able to secure a spot on the lead or in the pocket. (1) WILD NORDIC gets the best post against a soft bunch. (7) RAILEE KWIK has just been racing evenly and needs to find a way into the race.
Race 10
In a tough race to gauge (5) PARTYATBARTSPLACE could have some of the kinks worked out after a decent qualifier. (3) THEY CALL ME GORDY gets big time post relief and will be used aggressively. (1) U BETTOR WATCH OUT owns a win at this level and gets the rail.
Race 11
(6) VERTIGO HANOVER picks up a top driver against a suspect bunch and will be tough to beat with a trouble-free trip. (3) STAR MASTER FOX four-year-old faces slightly easier but has just been racing evenly. (2) PANDAPOCKET rarely wins and is best used underneath.
Race 12
(4) WINDSONG DESTROYER just missed at this level last out but looks to need a good setup for his best chance. (1) MUSIC AGAIN veteran pacer has not won in quite some time but does get the best post in a soft field. (7) ARTISTIC DREAMER will offer a big price and just needs to find a way into the race.
Race 13
(3) GET GOING MEL dominated last out and will look to make it two straight wins bumping up in class. (8) BOLD SECRET pacing gelding gets sent out for a hot barn off two really nice efforts; threat. (6) HALLIN has been knocking on the door but needs more late; use underneath.
Race 14
(2) BUDDY LOU never got into the race last out but showed a really nice effort the start prior. The pacer will offer a big price and made the most money in the field last year. (1) LIGHT UP THE SKY picks up the top driver with the best post. (4) THE CLASSIC Z TAM really disappointed last out against a very weak bunch; command a price.
Race 15
(1) ZAMBRANO makes his second start back off a long layoff and has room to improve down in class. (4) JACK FINN has some question marks coming off a scratch but has been pacing faster than most of the field. (2) WOW POWER should be closer turning for home and is capable of a good effort against a suspect bunch.
