Best Bet: CROWNED WITH GLORY (2nd)
Spot Play: RAILROAD LANE (1st)
Race 1
(9) RAILROAD LANE three-year-old makes his first start of the year against a suspect bunch. (8) MATTER OF PRIDE might be the horse to beat but gets a very tough starting post. (1) MARKET TIMER is the only horse in the field with a win over the track; threat.
Race 2
(2) CROWNED WITH GLORY looks primed for a big effort third start back off the bench. (3) CREDIT TO THELIMIT well bred filly needed her last start and is one of few threats in the race. (1) NOBLE DUNN had an excellent record on the fair circuit last year but is probably best used underneath.
Race 3
(6) COSMIC ROCKER trotter will be tough to beat if he minds his manners. (5) ANASTASIA GUNNER showed a big burst of speed in his career debut and will look to make it two straight. (3) PRECIOUS LOVE will offer a big price in a field full of question marks.
Race 4
(5) THIRDSTRAIGHT SHOT lightly raced pacer makes his first start of the year for capable connections. (6) BIG BAD'S SHADOW looks to offer low value and could need a start; use caution. (3) JOHNNY MAGIC pacer gets a much better starting post and has room to improve.
Race 5
(1) WILD NORDIC couldn't seal the deal down in class two starts ago but will be tough to beat with an easy early lead. (9) FLYING MUSCLES picks up a top driver against a weak field. (6) RETURN TO PARIS is just now back in racing shape and will offer a big price.
Race 6
(6) WELCOME WAGON gets sent out for the top connections at the track. (4) GOT WHAT IT TAKES put in a decent effort last week despite not owning a victory in well over a year. (8) JK EVEN STEVEN has some question marks but is capable of pacing a fast mile.
Race 7
(1) AXLE picks back up a top driver with the best post; fires early. (3) HASTE fourteen-year-old trotter takes a significant drop in class; threat. (6) ROSE RUN PRINCESS almost took no prisoners last week against a decent field.
Race 8
(5) SKULL OF ROSES will be very tough to beat if the pacer's ready to roll. (3) TIM'S FINALE six-year-old owns more ability than what he shows; threat. (1) MEXICAN COAST paced a big effort out of nowhere. If the 13-year-old puts in another similar effort it could be lights out.
Race 9
(9) AIRZOOMS IMAGE has been super sharp off the layoff and will look to make it three straight. (1) KIMCO HALL was no match for the top choice last week, however the 4-year-old trotting mare gets a much better starting post; threat. (2) PHAT STACKS has an excellent win record and looks to be in line for a nice ground saving trip up close.
Race 10
(1) BIG BAD JUNIOR looks to be one of the faster pacers in the field and gets the rail. (2) WIGGLER is just now back in racing shape and has plenty of room to move forward. (3) WESTER HELENS BOY has some upside making his second start back off a layoff.
Race 11
(4) STEVENS QUEEN should be primed for a big effort second start back adding second time lasix. (1) CAVIAR CRUISER comes from a nice family and showed a nice late burst last week. (6) WERE GONE looks to be one of three threats in the race.
Race 12
(2) ELOCUTIONIST finds a weak and inconsistent field to do some damage. (1) ULSHOOTUREYEOUTKID has just been racing evenly but so has most of the field. (9) DRIVEN TO SUCCEED would be the horse to beat with a different driver; threat.
Race 13
(2) GYPSY OSBORNE put in an excellent first start of the year. The filly should be sharper this week. (3) LOOK KIMBO could need a start but did put in a decent first qualifier. (5) FRISKIE ZENA picks up a top driver in a field full of question marks.
Race 14
(7) HANGIN JUDGE will either win by open lengths or make a miscue. (1) CEANA'S STAR has been very shaky with breaks in two of his last three. (5) POWER STICK four-year-old owns some ability and with some racing luck could threaten.
Race 15
(1) SASSY OSBORNE should be closer turning for home against a weak bunch. (2) KEYSTONE ROYCE has been a cash burner all year long; use caution. (3) MACH THE KASBAH gets sent out first start for new connections; threat.
