CHEERS HANOVER (NW8600) trotter went down the road in handy score and trainer is on a roll.
RIVER NESS (CLMHCP20/25000) sat in, rallied gamely and got there on the wire. Got claimed and will be looking for another.
THIS IS THE PLAN (NW5800) came uncovered and won going away notching another win for trainer Ron Burke.
CONGRESSIONAL (WO25000) took the lead, yielded and was shuffled badly the final turn, tipped and wheeled very wide, hit overdrive and just missed.
UP THE CREEK (NW12000) rallied strong from the half, wheeled around tiring cover, won going away and same kind of move makes him a threat again.

AMAZING TAMMY (STALLION) beaten favorite was 3rd over, wheeled wide and just missing and can get it done in next.
MY TAYORS SWIFT (PaSS) tucked early, raced second over to tiring cover, closed fast but ran out of track.
POSTITIVE PROCESS (PaSS) set a good clip at 8-1, put away a challenger but was necked by the late-closing longer shot on the rail.
AESTAS (PaSS) won her third straight and four is very possible.

MR DUNNIGANS (CLM10000) was pressed the mile, dug in and held gamely. Got claimed and should be be the one to beat.

ERIN (CLM15000) was second over, tried to go wide early, settled back second over to the lane, went wide and was forced wider by breaking cover, rallied late and deserves a look in next.
SAWYERS DESIRE (CLM15000) was uncovered long way, challenged to the lane before backing off. Got claimed and could get luckier with better trip.
FALSE DOGMA (NW5) brushed and crushed and was wrapped up through the lane.
BREEZY HALL (CLM125000) trotter went down the road barely working up a sweat.
IM A HUGGER (2YOF) second favorite went down the road to the last step but was necked by the late closing odds-on favorite.
