Race 2
(1) EMIRIL doesn't have the best gait but will be tough with an early lead. (2) AGENT HANNA comes into the race off a really nice winning qualifier. (6) DOCTOR BLIZZARD has just been racing evenly but does get sent out against weaker for proven connections.
Race 3
In a wide open race, (6) JUST FRIENDS has been competitive at this level and will offer a big price. (1) SBD INDIE ROCK has yet to win in eighteen starts on the year; use underneath. (8) SWEET ADELINE is one of the faster trotters in the race but gets a tough starting post.

Race 5
(3) CRAZOLO might have it turned around after the exceptional qualifier. (1) FUTURE NIGHT TRAIN is just now back in racing shape and gets the best post. (6) BUCKEYE PATTY has been competitive against better on the year; threat.
Race 6
(9) LEX LUGAR picks up a huge driver change second start in a new barn. (3) VERBALIZE finished a solid second at this level three back. (1) FIRE ESCAPE gets the best post dropping in class.
Race 7
(3) QUEEN'S RIPSNORT owns a good burst of speed when timed right. (5) MAJOR COUNT is a threat to go wire to wire especially with an easy lead. (4) AT MY REQUEST is one of few threats in the race.
Race 8
(4) STANLEY K has been off over a month but was sharp in the qualifier. (3) DEFTONES consistently burns cash; use caution. (5) BEANS AND WEENIES bumps up in class off a good effort closing nicely.
Race 9
(1) BUZZEN GARLAND picks up a huge driver change with the best post. (2) VAYA CON DIOS has just been racing evenly but also picks up a top driver. (3) HIGH BLUE should be much closer turning for home this week against slightly softer.
Race 10
(3) LAUGHING MATTERS scored an easy victory down in class and will look to make it two straight against better. (2) UNADORNED HANOVER is very inconsistent from week to week but a good effort puts him in the mix. (9) RUFFY'S DESIRE has room to improve for a new barn against easier competition.
Race 11
(6) J-S FOR JUSTICE will look to make it three wins in four starts on the year. (4) TADY'S COUNT trotter has a ton of pedigree on the mare side. The 3-year-old has lots of room to improve. (5) CHARLESTON HALL well bred gelding has beat similar on the year but needs to stay trotting.
Race 12
(6) ROSE RUN OSCAR doesn't look the best on paper but has some upside switching barns against softer. (3) T T TUCKER is just now back in racing shape and should be primed for a better effort third start back off the layoff. (9) CROWNED WITH GLORY five-year-old is 0 for the year but picks up a significant driver change.
Race 13
(10) CHARMING CADET looks to offer the best price of the contenders. The 3-year-old will need to work out a trip from the second tier. (7) COWBOY BLUE seven time winner last year needs a good setup for his best chance late. (2) JUST PLAIN DJ just missed last week and should be in line for a similar ground saving trip.
Race 14
(5) GLASS PACK has had trouble winning at this level in recent weeks but finds a suspect bunch. (7) CHAMPIONS CLUB has won at this level before at a big price. (9) FRANCO NATURA N raced gamely last week finishing a solid second.
Race 15
(4) SNEAKY SAM should be able to handle this field with a trouble-free trip. (3) SR RADAR just missed at this level two back. (8) JAILHOUSE TUFF is one of the faster trotters in the race if he minds his manners.
Race 16
(2) SOMEKINDAWONDERFUL four-year-old stallion makes his first start for new connections; big chance. (3) MCLEGEND lightly raced pacer makes his third career start off a nice second effort. (1) KINGOFTHEREIGNS should be in line for a ground saving trip up close.
