Race 1
(5) CROWNED WITH GLORY nice looking 4-year-old comes off an easy victory and is just now back in racing shape. (6) AIRZOOMS IMAGE has been tenacious on the lead so far this year; fires early. (7) CREDIT TO THELIMIT impeccably bred filly has a high ceiling.
Race 2
In a weak and inconsistent field, (9) CHAMPION'S CLUB was an easy winner when last seen at this level. (5) AUTO PILOT rarely wins but is more than capable against this group. (1) CHROME SEELSTER gets the best post down in class.
Race 3
(3) IVA SECRET lightly raced filly made a miscue last start but has lots of ability. (6) PHAT STACKS has placed first or second in thirteen of fifteen career races; threat. (1) WE LOVE CAVIAR should be much closer turning for home starting from the best post.
Race 4
(4) VELOCITY U BET showed a decent burst of speed last week after making a break. The pacer has room to improve for new connections. (6) FORT KENT has been competitive against slightly better on the year; threat. (5) OAKS WARRIOR looks to offer low value and has just been racing evenly.
Race 5
In the toughest race to handicap on the card, (4) TWO DAYS DITTO stayed flat in the qualifier and should offer a big price in a wide-open race. (5) ITS A HORSE doesn't look the best on paper but did close some late ground in the qualifier. (1) SR LILLYSTAR filly gets the best post and just needs to stay trotting for a chance at a piece.
Race 6
(1) PICASSO FOREVER filly might need a start making her sophomore debut but looks just as good as any in the race. (9) RED just missed at this level last week. (2) AMBER JOHN finished strong last out against similar; threat.
Race 7
(5) POWERFUL ANTHONY gelding gets a big morning line and might be better than what he shows. (4) LINUS B WORTHY has burned a lot of cash at this level; use caution. (2) PARTYATYOURPLACE gets a much better starting post down in class.
Race 8
(2) ORSE POWER had a tough trip up in class last week. The pacer picks back up the top driver and will be on the move early. (9) STEVIE DIAMONDS is 0 for the year but is one of the faster horses in the field. (4) BLUEBIRD IDEAL also owns a win at this level but just raced evenly last start.
Race 9
(1) HANGIN JUDGE was the easiest of winners last week at this level; short price. (3) LIBERTY BEACH mare gets sent out for a low percentage pilot but showed a good burst of speed two back. (9) PORSCHE GIBSON can hit the ticket at a price with a good spot off the gate.
Race 10
(5) INGLORIOUS MUSTARD has been much better for new connections despite being winless on the year. (2) NOAH'S SHARK picks up a good driver change and was close against better win last seen at this track. (9) WINDSONG DESTROYER was dreadful last week but is a threat with a decent setup.
Race 11
(2) THIRDSTRAIGHT SHOT looks to have lots more to offer coming off an impressive first of the year. (9) UNCLE DONNIE might be the only threat to the top choice. The pacer raced well last week and is just now back in racing shape. (1) WOLF CREEK PEGASUS four-year-old gelding gets the best post at a level where he's been competitive.
Race 12
(1) RAILROAD LANE was tremendous in his sophomore debut and now gets the best post. (9) MIKES MAJESTIC had a ton of late trot last week and was very close to the top choice. (2) HEMLOCK BLITZ looks to be in line for a nice trip up close.
Race 13
(1) GRANDKIDS ATTACK picks up a big driver change down in class with the best post. (3) SALESMAN has been improving but is best used underneath. (5) ALLAMERICAN PEWTER is capable of pacing a fast mile and gets sent out first start for a new trainer.
Race 14
(1) CHRISTINA VICTORY will offer the best price of the contenders and owns a touch of back class. (3) ACTION-EAR-TO-EAR should probably be considered the horse to beat picking up a big driver change. (2) VAYA CON DIOS has just been racing evenly; use underneath.
Race 15
(6) AUDITORIAL just needs a smooth trip for a big piece. (9) WEIRD EARZ faces slightly easier and should be in line for a ground saving trip. (5) MAJOR SPEED has paced the fastest mile of the field on the year; threat.
