Race 1
(1) CAVIAR'S TYME trotting mare raced excellent in her season debut and finds a very soft bunch. (7) STRIKING TURBO closed nicely against slightly better last week. (8) RIGGED ELECTION showed improvement at this level last out.
Race 2
(6) RATTLING PINE should offer value and will be dangerous with good position out of the gate. (1) YES appears to be the horse to beat facing much weaker with the best post. (2) HALL N BRO looks ready for a good effort third start off the bench.
Race 3
(6) TWENTYFOUR K MAGIC has two straight wins against better. (3) FOOLMEGYPSY filly might be the only threat to the top choice if she stays trotting. (2) IT'S MY PARTY well-bred filly is going in the right direction but is probably best used underneath.
Race 4
(5) ALL PIPED UP will probably offer a better price this week off the miscue. The 3-year-old dominated similar two back. (1) TINOS BADBOY raced well from a tough spot last start. The 3-year-old gelding keeps the top driver and should be able to control the race from up front. (4) SOLEIL lightly raced 3-year-old finds a weak field full of question marks.
Race 5
(8) MM'S CREDIT LINE eight-year-old trotting mare scored in her career debut with a professional effort. She might be overlooked in this spot facing tougher. (9) TWO FOR YOU just missed racing gamely last week; threat. (6) BAT CHIP CRAZY scored a lifetime mark last out first start in a new barn.
Race 6
(5) UP FRONT CORBIN looks fast enough to be competitive against this bunch. (2) MARTY DE VIE has some question marks coming off the scratch. The well bred 6-year-old owns wins against better on the year. (7) PARNELL dominated weaker last out.
Race 7
(1) PETER'S DREAM three-year-old trotter owns a good burst of speed and benefits from the best post. (8) REVIVAL owns a win against better on the year but needs to find a way into the race. (9) DYNAMITE STICK trotting mare has really started to blossom in her last few; threat.
Race 8
(1) COLT SWINDELL gelding has room to improve in his second lifetime start. (5) DESIRABLE LOU heavy morning-line favorite couldn't close on the winner last week but has hit the board against better in two of three. (3) SWEETEST PET drops in for a tag against slightly weaker.
Race 9
(7) WICKED SUGAR filly looks to make it four straight stepping up against tougher. (1) HEIDI'S HEART is likely the only threat to the top choice in the field. (2) AND UP WE GO raced well two back but is best used underneath.
Race 10
(4) CORTEZ draws inside and owns a recent win at this level. (5) EARL WEST fits in with this bunch and looks to offer a big price. (9) TREACHEROUS BEACH raced gamely last week showing a decent burst before just getting picked off late.
Race 11
(6) WESTFIFTYSECOND adds second-time Lasix taking a huge drop down in competition. (4) LUCKY OVER ANDOVER well bred colt scored in his sophomore debut and probably has more to offer. (8) TC'S BEST has been racing well but will need a good setup from a tough post.
Race 12
(3) PET SHARK went a huge three-quarters of a mile at this level two back. (1) HILLBILLY HANOVER veteran pacer is just now back in racing shape and draws the best post. (2) QUICK ART takes a significant drop in class.
Race 13
(2) SKYWAY WILLIE picks up a top driver against a weak and inconsistent field. (6) HELL ON WHEELS paced a really nice mile last week against similar. (4) MONTANA PABLO A has been competitive against better on the year.
Race 14
(4) DYNAMIC RIDGE might have been a winner against better last week before the late miscue. (6) EVAN HANOVER has been much improved in two straight. (3) ANASTASIA GEM has hit the board in three straight; use underneath.
Race 15
(3) HELENHOTTWHEELZ nice looking filly pacer was all business last week from start to finish. A repeat of that effort makes it two straight easy wins. (6) BRICKER BEACH drew off last week against similar. (4) MR JUDGE gets sent out first start for a new barn.
Race 16
(1) CURIOUS LASS should be much closer turning for home this week. (2) KEVIN'S NOT HERE gelding finally stayed flat in the qualifier. If he minds his manners he might be the horse to beat. (3) BAD BABYSITTER filly has yet to find the winners circle and looks to offer low value; command a price.
