Race 1 - NW1/7500 Lifetime /AE NW2/15000 Lifetime/10000 Claimer
(7) KEVIN’S NOT HERE shows multiple breaks but stayed flat in the recent qualifier. If the sophomore trotting gelding minds his manners he wins. (3) B WISHORIA filly makes her second career start off an improved qualifier. (2) MJ’S HEARTBREAKER mare is a major player against this group should the top choice make a miscue. (1) CANALE HANOVER well bred gelding draws the best post against a field full of question marks.
Race 2 – Buckeye Stallion Series 2-Year-Old Colts
(3) SOMTIMESTHINGSHAPEN will offer the best price of the contenders and has room to improve in his second lifetime start. (1) BOLD STRATEGY doesn’t have an excuse last week after setting reasonable early fractions; use caution. (4) SMOKING JET showed a decent burst in the debut; threat. (5) MJ’SLIBERTYVALANCE picks up a good driver change.
Race 3 - NW1/10000 Lifetime/7500 Claimer
(6) SOLEIL gelding owns two wins and a second at this level in his last three. (4) EARL WEST went wire to wire last week showing good improvement.

Race 4 - Buckeye Stallion Series 2-Year-Old Colts
(8) ROSE RUN VALOR will offer a monster price and could be ready for a big effort in his second lifetime start. (9) VIESTE shows breaks in three of four but if the 2-year-old stays trotting he has ability. (7) WILLING SPIRIT has hit the board in two of three career starts; fires early. (4) DONTYOUSAYIT is one of few in the race that shows a big burst of speed.
Race 5 - NW2/20000 Lifetime /AE NW3/30000 Lifetime/15000 Claimer
(1) PRINCESSOFPINK lightly raced filly takes a huge drop down starting from the rail. (5) DR JUDGE has room to move forward off two good efforts against weaker.

Race 6 - NW1/7500 Lifetime /AE NW2/15000 Lifetime/10000 Claimer
(8) BIGTIME COWBOY might offer a decent price starting from the far outside. The 3-year-old will need to find a good spot off the gate but looks better than this bunch. (9) SPORTS BET gets sent out for a high percentage barn; threat. (3) DIXIELAND CLASSIC owns a big burst of speed when timed right, however the pacing mare lacks late stamina; use caution. (1) HEERZ FINDLAY has been competitive against similar on the year.
Race 7 - Buckeye Stallion Series 2-Year-Old Colts– $10k GTD Pick 4
(8) TIMESTORM gelding looks to make it three straight wins to start his career. (4) BEN DOVER takes a significant drop down in competition picking up a positive driver change.

(1) SIR HOWIE’S Z TAM draws the rail against a suspect bunch. (8) HEERZ SOCKED UP has room to improve second start out for a new barn. (5) ARRINGAROSA heavy morning line favorite probably needs a start having been off over two months; use caution. (2) BECOME LEGENDARY owns a win at this level on the year.
Race 9 - Buckeye Stallion Series 2-Year-Old Colts
(8) ROSE RUN VINDICATE drops down to the stallion series out of sire stakes and will offer a big price; fires early. (2) HERECOMESCHARLIE B scored a win off a perfect pocket trip last race. (5) GABBY’S WILD CHILD gelding has room to improve in his second lifetime start getting sent out for a top trotting barn. (6) ROSE RUN VINDICATE just missed last week against similar.
Race 10 -NW750L4
(3) SUPER ROCK was super in the recent qualifier. (6) FLET CESSNA has burned cash in two straight at this level; command a price.

Race 14 - NW4/AE NW6/20000 Claimer
(1) OH SO PINE finds an ideal spot to get back on track. The sophomore trotter will try to make every pole a winning one. (2) SEAL SNIPER should be in line for a great trip picking up a top driver. (3) SECRET TRAINER is very inconsistent from week to week but a good effort puts the six-year-old close. (5) COCO HALL had some sneaky late trot last week against better.
Race 15 – NW2750L4
