Race 1

Race 2
(6) STURDY'S BABY raced gamely last out parked the mile. (5) TT'SSHUTTERBUG filly looks to have some ability if she can stay trotting. (4) FERRISWHEEL JUNKIE well bred gelding could need a start but finds a wide open race.
Race 3
(4) STUDENT OF LIFE will look to make it three wins in four starts on the year against a week bunch. (7) LULA'S LIL SWEETIE mare got a nice victory last out and owns a decent burst of speed. (1) FOXY CHIP gets the best post but needs more; use underneath.
Race 4
(3) SOMEONECALLTHEPOPO is one of few in the race with some upside and has room to improve. (7) ST LADS GADGET raced well in the qualifier showing a decent late kick. (9) THREESOCKSNGO looks to be in line for a ground saving trip and could hit the ticket at a price.
Race 5
(1) TAXISDUE five-year-old stallion just needs to stay trotting for a big chance down in class. (2) STONEBRIDGE ULTIMO might have some of the kinks worked out after an improved qualifier; threat. (5) CHIP'S DREAMER should be sharper second start back off the layoff.
Race 6
(6) AKNUSTI will look to make it three straight wins with the top driver after more than a 3-year-layoff. (3) SOUTHERNCLOUDBURST romped in the qualifier but does get sent out for a low percentage pilot; command a price. (4) DUNKS BROTHER raced gamely from a tough post last out.
Race 7
(5) BANK DEPOSIT faces much weaker competition and should have a shot with a smooth trip. (3) VICKER mare can hit the board if she can ration out her speed. (6) LADYLAND gets sent out for capable connections and will offer a big price.
Race 8
In a weak field (7) PRO DUECE went a big three quarters of a mile last start and just now looks to be back in racing shape. (9) STERLING CHRIS has been pacing faster than most of the field but is 0 for the year; command a price. (4) KENNAIRN LIFE SIGN has been competitive at this level but rarely wins; use underneath.
Race 9
(5) CMR WINDMACH takes a significant drop in class and has been competitive against better on the year. (6) AS DUHARAS owns a decent burst of speed but rarely wins and needs a good setup. (4) ITSNOONERTIME comes into the race off a long layoff but did race well in the qualifier.
Race 10
(3) NORTHERN CONE has some question marks coming into the race but has shown the most ability in the field. (4) SARKIN HANOVER gelding should be primed for a good effort making his third start back. (5) BRADYMEISTER gets sent out for an inconsistent trainer but is capable of trotting a decent mile.
Race 11
(5) BACKDRAFT HANOVER takes a huge drop down to the bottom level. (1) CAPT BENSO GOODE gets the best post in a weak and inconsistent field. (4) INDOMITABLE SPIRIT pacer is one of few in the race that's shown a decent burst of speed.
Race 12
(3) DARRON HALL doesn't win often but finds a nice spot to do some damage. (4) PARTYATYOURPLACE just raced evenly last out but has room to improve. (2) MOMA JEAN'S CROWNS gets an excellent post and could save some ground before shaking loose late; use underneath.
Race 13
(2) LU'S NEELY is capable of trotting a good mile; threat. (4) BLUE JACKET LUKE was a game winner last start coming off a layoff. (6) SUPER SHEFF FROSTY made a break last race but raced gamely the start prior.
Race 14
(1) STRANGE HANOVER has not won a race in well over two years, however the pacer drops in class and gets the best post. (8) AMAZON ART needs to find a way into the race but has been competitive against much better on the year. (9) CRUISE ON OSBORNE has been knocking on the door at this level; threat.
Race 15
(6) ARTGENTINA faces weaker first start in a new barn. (2) HE'S A BEACHBOY has been unable to seal the deal at this level but is versatile. (3) EXACTORMAN tough to endorse on the top spot after some lackluster efforts but does find a suspect bunch.
