Spot Play: MAXIMUM CREDIT (10th)
Race 1
(3) SR LILLYSTAR filly trotter has been improving in her last few and finds a weak field. (7) BLACK DENIM N LACE has been knocking on the door against slightly tougher. (6) DEVIOUS made a break last week but is one of few in the race with a win over the track.
Race 2
(4) I SCOOT QUICK has come up empty in two straight but was a game winner at this level a few back. (7) SHADY'S DREAM BOY gelding paced a faster mile than most of the field last week but is 0 for 20 in his career. (2) SAND STINGER has some question marks coming off two sub-par efforts. If the pacer can get over the small track he can threaten.
Race 3
(1) BRILLO CAMARILLO mare owns some ability and has been much better for the new barn. (3) CYRANO JONES went a super effort last week just tiring late; threat. (5) SAND SHOCKER owns a win against similar and has room to improve for new connections.
Race 4
(9) WHITE EARNIE will look to make it three of four against the same bunch. (5) HEMLOCK BLITZ has been racing gamely finishing on the board in five of six. (7) ANDOVER ISLE well bred trotter just missed last week and needed the start.
Race 5
(2) RADIO LOVER gets sent out for a capable barn off a decent effort. (5) POR QUE NO Indiana bred filly owns a decent burst of speed. (9) HEART OF GLASS well bred 3-year-old has room to improve second start for the new trainer.
Race 6
(5) DOC BOYCE six-year-old mare has been facing much tougher and will be tough to catch with an early lead. (1) RED FALKOR drops down to the bottom level with the best post. (4) TRENTS RINGER was an easy winner when last seen at this level.
Race 7
(9) MILANO GRANDE just missed at this level last week and should be in line for a ground-saving trip. (1) SHES GLORIOUS doesn't look the best on paper but has flashed a decent burst and gets the best post. (7) A MILLION THANKS needs a good setup to hit the ticket; use underneath.
Race 8
(1) STOP PAYMENT owns wins against better on the year. (6) HA HA gets sent out for capable connections against an inconsistent field. (7) TEAHOUSE HALL was much better for a new barn last week and has room to improve.
Race 9
(1) SHAGUAR raced well last week making up good ground from a tough spot. The pacer should be much closer turning for home. (2) RAIDERS BOY picks up the top driver but only has one win on the year. (4) AHDOUGHNOLUM is capable of pacing a big mile; threat.
Race 10
(3) MAXIMUM CREDIT well bred 6-year-old has gone two big miles in a row. The trotter can score with a similar effort. (5) DRINKSONTHEHOUSE qualified well last start off a scratch. The well bred mare gets sent out for a provisional pilot but does own ability. (4) SON OFA SPUR has had a tough time winning at this level; command a price.
Race 11
(9) STORMY NOVEL well bred filly gets a big morning line off a solid start. (6) FLY ME COURAGEOUS owns only one win on the year but is capable with a smooth trip. (4) ADDYS SECRET could pick up the pieces in the right scenario but is probably best used underneath.
Race 12
(8) ERGO HANOVER six-year-old gets a tough starting post but is the horse to beat if he stays trotting. (3) JOYEUX DREAM beat similar last month but needs some racing luck. (4) JESSE'S MESSENGER owns all the back class but has just been racing evenly.
Race 13
In a tough race to gauge, (5) HEZA STAR CRUISER came up empty at this level last week but should offer a better price even with an upgrade in the bike. (4) GREAT AMERICAN gets sent out for the top barn and was racing in the open a few months back. (3) REGIL TIGER gelding needed his last two efforts off over a month.
Race 14
(1) MY BOOGIE SHOES gets the best post against a suspect bunch; fires early. (2) LIGHTNINGINTHESKY rarely wins but has been competitive at this level. (9) ITSNOOERTIME has been steadily improving since the long layoff and will offer a big price.
Race 15
(6) BET ON ART has been competitive against better but does get sent out for a low percentage provisional pilot. (9) HE'S THE CHIP burned cash at this level last week; command a price. (1) CAMCUN gets the best post against a really weak field.
