Race 1
(3) DR JUDGE should be able to make it two straight if he stays trotting. (7) HUDSON VALLEY is a well-bred 3-year-old that appears to be heading in the right direction. (8) CW HOME BOY is one of few in the race that's flashed decent ability.
Race 2
(8) MY INDIANA has set new lifetime marks in three straight. (1) FOOLMEGYPSY looks to be in line for an ideal trip up close if she can mind her manners. (2) MIGHTY MINI has trouble finishing her miles; use underneath.
Race 3
(2) MUSCLES FLIGHT was impressive in the qualifier. (1) CAYENNE KATE is the morning line favorite but will need more to tangle with the top choice. (5) ABSOLUTE MASSIVE is a maiden who has shown improvement in two straight.
Race 4
(2) LAWTON HANOVER will be tough to beat with an easy early lead. (7) THIN RED LINE probably needs a start but did flash a burst of speed in the qualifier. (9) SCOOT-N-NYA is 1 for 52 in her career; use underneath.
Race 5
In a weak and inconsistent field, (3) ROYAL OAKS has room to improve getting sent out first start for a new barn. (5) JAILHOUSE HOOCH could be closer turning for home this week and will offer a huge price. (2) ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN takes a significant drop down to the bottom level.
Race 6
(1) GREATHEART HANOVER picks up a top driver drawing the best post down in class. (2) MCMOOSE has been competitive against slightly better on the year. (3) BECOME LEGENDARY raced exceptionally well off a long layoff last week.
Race 7
(2) ALWAYS A DREAM made a miscue last week but was good two back. (6) MARVELOUS MAN is 0 for his career and needs a smooth trip. (7) QROWN FASHION has room to improve for a proven trotting barn.
Race 8
(1) WE ARE DREAMING is a well-bred filly that finds a suspect bunch and had some sneaky late pace in the qualifier. (3) BATTLE OF CANNAE has hit the board at this level in two straight. (7) GETOFFMYCLOUD probably has more to offer second start back off the long layoff.
Race 9
(4) DRAGONMETOVEGAS needs a good setup but might be able to handle this bunch despite being 0 for his career. (9) SWEETEST PET has lots of room to improve in his second career effort. The pacer adds second time Lasix for capable connections. (5) DOOWRAH LIGHTNING fits in with this group but needs some racing luck.
Race 10
(6) UNPERSUADABLE owns some ability if she can mind her manners. (3) RHONEYCRISP is very inconsistent from week to week; use caution. (5) MRS PEPPERS might be ready for an improved effort second start back off the bench.
Race 11
(3) BRIAN J draws inside while down in class. (1) HELL ON WHEELS picks up a top driver but probably needs a start off the long layoff. (2) SAINT PETER should be in line for a ground-saving trip up close.
Race 12
(1) MORPHEUS owns a good record at this level and draws the best post. (4) HERE'S JOLENE just missed last week racing gamely. (3) GO GO GEORGE raced well last week and could have more to offer making his third start off the layoff.
Race 13
(1) GLENEAGLES will be in line for a much better trip this week against softer. (2) BOUNCING BRO fits in with this bunch and will offer a big price. (3) UNIX HANOVER shows some decent efforts against better on the year.
Race 14
(2) ELRAMA N owns some back class and draws inside. (1) SIN CITY SHARK raced very well down in class last week earning the victory. (8) ONEISALONELYNUMBER might have been the horse to beat had he drawn inside.
Race 15
(3) MR LUCKY LUKE finished a solid second at this level last week. (2) GUESS WHOS BACK scored an excellent win from a tough post last start. (8) SUPER ROCK owns good gate speed and can threaten if he finds a way into the race.
Race 16
(9) TINOS PULSE has finished second in four straight. The pacer keeps the top driver and might be better racing off a helmet. (4) RIDE CAPTAIN RIDE is an impeccably bred pacer that is moving in the right direction based off his last effort. (2) ALL PIPED UP has just been racing evenly; use underneath.
