Race 1
(5) STIRLING BOUDICA mare owns a decent burst of speed and finds a weak field. (1) FUTURE CHIP nine-year-old makes his second start off a long layoff and should show improvement. (8) VICTORY BOOK has disappointed in two straight but still could offer value underneath.

Race 2
(8) ROJAN'S LAST SHOT just needs to stay trotting for a big chance to score. (9) FULL OF DAWN is one of few in the race with upside and gets a post edge on the top choice. (6) JESSE'S PRIDE has only one lifetime win but did race well last out; command a price.
Race 3
In a really weak and inconsistent field, (1) EXACTORMAN gets the best post and looks in line for a nice trip. (2) MAKEMINE BLUEGRASS picks up the top driver and has been competitive at this level. (4) NOAH C has just been racing evenly and needs racing luck to hit the top spot; use underneath.
Race 4
(5) SOMEONECALLTHEPOPO three-year-old colt has been very lackluster in his last few but owns an easy victory at this level. (1) SOUTHERN SANDY picks up a significant driver change with the best post. (6) BROOKLETS BLISS also owns a win against similar and has shown a decent move when timed right.
Race 5
(1) ST ELIAN'S FIRE trotting mare just missed last out and gets the best post. (3) MOMA JEAN'S CROWN picks up a top driver down in class; threat. (6) BAR BACK made a miscue last out but is just now back in racing shape and didn't miss by much two starts ago.
Race 6
(1) LEGENDONTHEGREENS adds lasix for the first time and should be close turning for home. (3) PARKTOWNISCOOTIWIN showed a big burst last week and keeps the top driver. (9) CAUGHT ME SPEEDING lightly raced pacer has room to improve in a new barn.
Race 7
(5) DUNKS BROTHER has been racing gamely and getting better with every start. (4) ULTIMATE WINNER has hit the board in two straight and looks to be primed for a good effort third start back off a layoff. (9) UNLIMITED WINNER gelding is very inconsistent from week to week but a good effort puts him in the mix.
Race 8
(4) ST LADS GIDGET will look to make it three straight wins at this level. (6) DOLORD could be one of few threats in the race and should offer the better price. (5) IRISH IHADA HARLEY comes off some nice wins against easier.
Race 9
(4) ABS JESSE HALL gets sent out for capable connections and just needs to stay trotting for a big chance. (3) LU'S NEELY will be used aggressively picking up a top driver. (5) SAM'S PROFILE was a game winner last out and seems to be gaining confidence.
Race 10
(5) FOREVER LOVER takes a significant drop in class against much weaker. (2) STONE OF MAGIC also drops down and just missed against better three back. (9) THE SWEET DION gets a big morning line but could hit the ticket with some racing luck.
Race 11
(1) CJ'S SUPER SECRET will be used aggressively down in class; fires early. (9) NEELY SPRING doesn't look the best on paper but should get a nice spot out of the second tier putting him in the mix. (2) TYMAL BLING raced well off the layoff and might have more to offer second start back.
Race 12
(2) BLUE JACKET LUKE will look to turn the tables this week getting a post edge on his main rival. (7) MS JETTA nice-looking trotting mare stepped up in a big way last week and is one of few in the race with upside. (9) MY D JET drew off impressively last out but will need more against better; use underneath.
Race 13
(5) SOULFIL LINDY drops down to the bottom level and owns wins against better on the year. (6) MR BAILEY finds a very weak bunch to do some damage but has just been racing evenly; command a price. (1) ROCKY MY BOY will offer a monster price and can hit the ticket with a smooth trip.
Race 14
(7) MAGIC PEACH put in a very nice qualifier and just needs to find a way into the race. (6) LINUS B WORTHY is capable of better against a very suspect bunch. (9) PEEK A BUE KID picks up a top driver against a field full of question marks.
Race 15
(9) CLAYTON MORRIS will offer a nice price and at one time last year would have been a heavy favorite against this bunch. (1) RESTLESS NATIVE went a nice effort last out just missing at this level. (7) GREAT AMERICAN looks to offer low value and might have to go around dull cover; use caution.
