Race 2
(3) NOODLES filly is just now back in racing shape and showed a nice closing move two back. (5) BROTHER DAN was an easy winner at this level last start. (1) BARELY A TRACE gets the best post and will offer a big price in a field full of question marks.
Race 3
In a tough race to gauge, (3) SPIES AND LIES just needs to stay trotting for a chance at a piece. (9) WEST RIVER VICTORY is 0 for 29 on the year but has been competitive at this level. (2) FORTUNE JAMES trotting gelding is handicapped by a low percentage pilot; use caution.
Race 4
(5) SARATOGA'S BEST pacing mare is 0 for the year but was improved first start in a new barn last week; threat. (1) SOUTHWIND MIAMI will look to drop and pop against weaker. (3) ALWAYS WEARABLE took heavy tote action last week at this level but just raced evenly; command a price.
Race 5
(2) CHARITY KID has been a cash burner at this level but should offer better value and looks to be in line for a nice trip up close. (4) ST ELIAN'S FIRE takes a big drop in class down to the bottom level. The 4-year-old only owns one win on the year and has trouble getting around the turns at times. (9) CINCINNATI MYSTRES has made the most money in the field on the year; threat.
Race 6
(1) Q COBRA JET pacing colt adds lasix for the second time getting sent out for a top barn. (5) KJ'S FLASH JORDAN paced a big mile last week showing good improvement. (4) STAND YOUR GROUND lightly raced pacer will be looking to make it four wins in six lifetime starts.
Race 7
(5) DECK THE HALLS will be used very aggressively for capable connections. (6) TRENTS RINGER doesn't look the best on paper but should offer value in against softer. (2) DIXIE REBEL five-year-old has the ability to get his picture taken but needs to mid his manners.
Race 8
(2) THE DOE filly put in a nice first effort last week for a new barn. (7) J K DELIGHT had trouble getting around the track when last seen here; use caution. (6) A FELLAS SECRET filly comes into the race off a miscue but was sharp the start prior.
Race 9
(7) ENRICHMENT raced super last start but does get sent out for a low percentage pilot. (5) STURDY'S BABY adds hopples for the first time and could show improvement. (4) WIN POWER has yet to be competitive at this level; command a price.
Race 10
(9) SOUTHWIND RAMBO takes a huge drop in class; big chance. (4) LITTLE AMOS is likely one of few threats to the top choice. (3) MEADWOBROOK SAMSON four-year-old gelding has beaten much better in his career. If the pacer can get around the turns he's a threat.
Race 11
(2) EXHIBITIONIST was bet down to the favorite last time out against a much better bunch. (1) SPYMISTRESS gets good post relief and will be used aggressively. (4) SABINE'S FILLY has just been racing evenly but does take a significant drop in class.
Race 12
In a weak and inconsistent field, (2) JACK ATTACK BROWN has been facing tougher and gets an ideal starting spot. (3) FOREVER HAPPY has just been racing evenly but will offer a big price in a wide open race. (1) GET GOIN MEL gets sent out for a low percentage pilot that rarely finds the winner's circle; use caution.
Race 13
(6) ARMBRO DOMI has been competitive on the year against much tougher. (3) IDONTTHANKYOUCAN can pace a very fast mile with a good setup; threat. (2) FLYING METRO could be overbet coming from the Red Mile but does add lasix for the second time.
Race 14
(1) LILLIAN ROAD filly put in a nice effort last week and gets the best post against similar. (7) ALLIE JO DALI takes a big drop down in competition but will need to find a way into the race. (2) KALLISTA well bred mare has been regressing; use underneath.
Race 15
(7) RIVER N ONIONS five-year-old pacer's last effort was really good and anything close to that gets the job done. (4) INGLORIOUS MUSTARD can jump up with a big mile from time to time; threat. (2) RONNY B FAST just missed at this level last out and should be closer turning for home.
