Race 2
(1) SAND SHOCKER well bred 2-year-old gets the best post and could be ready for a breakthrough effort. (4) BROOKLETS BLISS filly is the only horse in the field with a victory and should be closer turning for home. (5) BEAUTIFUL RED has just been racing evenly; command a price.
Race 3
(2) HIGH GEAR WINNER five-year-old turned it around in a big way last out. The trotter will threaten with a similar effort. (1) MASTEROFCEREMONIES gelding is capable of beating this bunch if he minds his manners. (9) FUN N PLEASURE is 0 for the year but made the most money in the field by far last year; threat.
Race 4
In a really weak field (9) BOLD DECISION has been facing slightly tougher and looks in line for a decent trip. (6) BLACKHAWK LOOKOUT paced a nice mile from a tough post last week. (1) BLUE SCOOTIN MATT rarely wins but gets the best post; use underneath.
Race 5
(6) MS JETTA four-year-old mare has a lot of upside and appears to be getting better. (5) DUNKS BROTHER seems to always get picked off late; use caution. (4) GOVERNMENT OFFICAL gelding owns a good burst of speed off the gate which could put him on the ticket underneath.
Race 6
(7) MOOLIT SHARK mare is 0 for the year but finds a nice spot to gain some confidence. (2) SUNRISE SUNSET comes off a scratch and is also 0 for the year but is capable of pacing a big mile with a good setup. (1) TIFFANY MALONE pacing mare needed her last start and should be sharper this time out.
Race 7
(9) SUZELLE HANOVER raced well last out and finds a very weak field. (3) THEN CAME YOU mare has been competitive against better on the year. (2) CINCINNATI MYSTRES will offer a big price and is capable with some racing luck.
Race 8
(6) DESPERATE CROWDS will try and make it two straight bumping up in class. The pacing mare set a lifetime mark last week and could have more to offer. (1) SKYWAY HANOVER gets the best post against a suspect bunch. (4) LAZY TOWN has had two straight pocket trips unable to mount a challenge in both; use underneath.
Race 9
(1) ROJANS'S LAST SHOT four-year-old trotter is the horse to beat if he minds his manners. (3) STIRLING BOUDICA owns the quickest win in the field; fires early. (9) REGAL GLIDE is 1 for 49 lifetime but appears to be fast when he stays trotting.
Race 10
(6) WELCOME WAGON gets sent out first start for the top trainer who has a good percentage in this scenario. (1) AWESOMEANDAMAZING should be in an ideal spot up front or in the pocket; threat. (4) TOBIN'S FORTUNE the pacer also makes his first start for a new barn and has room to improve.
Race 11
(3) ACTION-EAR-TO EAR pacing bred trotter could get an easy early lead and just needs to ration out his speed; driver's choice. (4) HIGH STAKES BANKER looked real good last out winning by open lengths. (5) CIRO doesn't win often but has been trotting faster miles than most in the field.
Race 12
(4) WHATA PACIFIC faces tougher bumping up in class but is one of few in the race with some upside. (3) KALLISTA has yet to be competitive with anything less than a perfect trip; command a price. (2) KJ'S FLASH JORDAN four-year-old could be primed for a better effort third start back off a long layoff against a very soft field.
Race 13
(6) JACK FINN trotting bred pacer just needs an aggressive drive for a chance to pick up his second win of the year. (9) ML GAMBLER has just been racing evenly but could be in line for a ground-saving trip. (1) RIDGE PARK looks to offer low value and has trouble finishing his miles; use caution.
Race 14
(3) CHARITY KID well bred mare will be tough to beat if she gets an easy early lead. (9) JAY JAY REDSKY has been competitive at this level but needs a better start than his most recent efforts. (2) LUCKY CIRO will offer a big price and can upset with some racing luck.
Race 15
(9) ADDYS SECRET has some question marks coming off the scratch but if ready the pacer owns wins against much better on the year. (6) MEDOLAND SAPPHIRE gets sent out for capable connections and paced a big mile last week after the early miscue; threat. (2) STONE OF MAGIC gets good post relief but has been camera shy this year; command a price.
