Best Bet: NORTHERN CONE (1st)
Spot Play: THEQUEENHASSPOKEN (2nd)
Race 1
(7) NORTHERN CONE well bred gelding will look to make it three straight wins and just needs to mind his manners for a victory. (1) ES MUCHO is the only threat to the top choice and has room to improve from the best post. (4) SAMMY SAMMY SAMMY gets sent out for an inconsistent trainer but could offer value underneath.

Race 2
(2) THEQUEENHASSPOKEN filly flashed ability in her sophomore debut and gets sent out for a capable trainer. (5) TOWN CROSSING mare makes her third start back off the layoff and should have more to offer for the top trainer. (1) TE'S CONMYSOCKSOFF seven-year-old is one for forty lifetime but finds a very weak field.
Race 3
In a wide open and evenly matched race (5) LOOK AT THE SPEED should offer a big price and needed his last start. (3) MIZUNO has just been racing evenly but finds a really soft bunch. (2) LET'S CRUISE also faces a much easier bunch but needs racing luck.
Race 4
(3) HE'S A BEACHBOY never got into the mile last out but should be used aggressively at this level. (4) RAY'S WESTERN showed a decent burst of speed when last seen at the track but needs a smooth trip. (1) MAJOR MIKE has been competitive against better; threat.
Race 5
(1) SAMMY DE VIE three-year-old gelding makes his sophomore debut off a nice qualifier. (6) LUCKY DANISH has been very consistent and will be tough to beat with an easy early lead. (2) BRADYMEISTER showed some improvement last out but will need more; command a price.
Race 6
In a field full of question marks (2) SOMEONECALLTHEPOPO is one of few in the race who's flashed ability. (6) MISS HAILLEY OBK filly has room to improve and makes her second start back off a layoff. (5) BALITINA lightly raced pacer has a good pedigree and was better in her last qualifier.
Race 7
(6) KB'S BIG GAINER filly trotted a nice mile last start and has a ton of upside. (1) SAM'S PROFILE will offer a nice price with the best post. (2) BOGO TIM five-year-old should be sharper in his second start back.
Race 8
(1) THREE SOCKSNGO raced competitively at this level last out and draws the best post. (7) MJ CRUISER gelding is 0 for his career but can pick up the pieces in the right scenario. (8) WORLD OF SUNNYTIMES gets sent out for the top trainer coming off a scratch. If the pacer is ready he will be firing early.
Race 9
(1) RAILEE KWIK five-year-old trotter makes his first start in the leading barn and picks up a huge driver change. (4) BALLYKEEL MIKE has beaten this bunch before and should be in a decent spot turning for home. (7) CINCINNATI MYSTRES looked to be home free last week before falling to pieces late. The mare needs a smooth trip for her best chance.
Race 10
(7) MOJO CHRISTMASGIFT was unable to parlay a perfect trip last out but has been pacing faster than most of the field. (8) LOST JEWELS was the driver's choice and just needs to find a way into the race for a shot late; versatile. (2) LEE A BRYANT doesn't win often but could be in line for a nice trip up close.
Race 11
(7) BOOYAH TJ has really put it together in his last few and will win again with another similar effort. (6) MJ'S VICTORY JODY could be one of few threats in the race but needs to be closer turning for home. (5) AL-MAR SNEEKY PETE owns a decent burst of speed on the gate but is best used underneath.
Race 12
(3) MR BAILEY burned cash last out but is one of few in the race who's been competitive at this level. (1) WINDSUN BOLT should find this spot a lot softer and benefits from the rail. (2) UCAN CALL ME REI gets post relief but has just been racing evenly; command a price.
Race 13
(2) YOU'LL THINK OF ME couldn't win down in class as a heavy favorite last start but finds another suspect bunch. (7) HERE COMES WHITEY drew off impressively last week but will need more with an outside post. (1) I RECKON SO takes a significant drop in class and just needs a smooth trip for a chance late.
Race 14
(2) TABULATOR owns a big burst of speed but is 0 for the year; command a price. (3) T P MAXIMUS has not won in a very long time but is capable of hitting the ticket. (6) IVANA HANOVER dominated down in class for a new barn last out but probably needs more up in class.
Race 15
(7) LIMA RITCH was pacing up a storm before making a miscue last out. If the pacer can duplicate that effort while staying flat he has a shot. (6) SUNBURNED VERN has just been racing evenly but owns some back class and is a threat at this level. (2) VANISCAPE drops back down to the bottom level after facing tougher; threat.
