Race 2
(1) BUGGER BRUISER went gate-to-wire last week in this class and raced impressively with a :27 final quarter. (2) BOOMBOOM BALLYKEEL has been on his game as of late for trainer Richard Moreau. (4) BILBO HANOVER finished a game second last week in this class for trainer/co-owner Mike Brealey.
Race 3
(2) OUR MOJO raced very well last week for trainer Mike Keeling as the son of Kadabra finished a game second from a post 10 start. (5) LAKEFIELD shows the speed needed for this class as the gelding continues to trot in the 1:55-1:56 range. (9) PAPER BACKED LINDY hasn't been racing at his best in recent start, but receives much needed class relief.
Race 4
(4) CHEYENNE REIDER continues to improve since entering this circuit three starts back and into the Gallucci barn. (1) GLAMMIT has been racing much better since the addition of lasix late last year for trainer Carmen Auciello. (8) SUNNY BEACH DAY draws outside for a second straight week and the six-year-old will have Doug McNair in the bike.
Race 5
(6) GEAR BOX romped in his latest by five lengths for trainer Charles Stewart and the son of Geartogear remains at the same classification. (1) IDEAL JET draws the rail in this dash and will have regular pilot Jody Jamieson in the bike. (4) IDEALBEACH HANOVER has been racing from off-the-pace as of late and it's been benefiting the son of Somebeachsomewhere.
Race 6
(6) I SCOOT SAM was a winner in his latest last week for trainer Joe Cirasuola and is capable of a repeat effort as he remains at the same level. (7) INCOGNITO continues to climb the ladder for trainer Joe Agostino as the eight-year-old has been racing very consistently as of late. (9) UFDRAGONS ROCKET will need to overcome the outside post nine, but the speedy son of Dragon Again has hit the board in each of his last two starts.
Race 7
(6) CAMAES FELLOW has been racing at his best as of late for trainer Carmen Auciello. (10) WAZZUP WAZZUP has been knocking on the door behind Camaes Fellow in each of his last two starts as he's finished second. (2) MACHAL JORDAN put up a fair price last week and finished fourth in the Preferred event.
Race 8
(6) FIVE TOWNS comes from a high percentage barn in Kelly Goodwin and the son of Andover Hall returns to this circuit and into a suitable class. (9) BWT TAJ has been well known for his terrific gate-speed and the gelding receives major class relief in here. (5) SIMONE HALL was a beaten favourite last week in this class and draws another favourable post position again this week.
Race 9
(7) SOUTHWIND TERROR has been a main threat at this level for many weeks and can't be overlooked. (8) LIKEAVIRGIN also can't be overlooked as the speedy pacer returns to this circuit and into a class where he's been a primary threat. (9) WATERSIDE LIGHT can race inconsistently at times, but finished a strong second two starts back in this class.
Race 10
(5) HIT AND GIGGLE A was absolutely terrific two starts back and the complete opposite last week for trainer Richard Moreau. (6) ROETHBLISSBERGER has been racing well as of late for trainer Vic Puddy and the son of Blissful Hall offers terrific gate-speed and raced well last week in this class. (7) MR DENNIS suffered a troubled trip last week as the pacer appeared to have pace, but no where to go. He didn't get off to the best start on this circuit late last season, but appears to have rounded the corner.
Race 11
(6) MUSSELSFRMBRUSSELS is in a great betting race to end the program as there are a number of potential winners. (1) DRAIN DADDY is a horse I'm hoping to see a price on. (9) IN COMMANDO comes from a high percentage barn in Don Lindsey and the speedy pacer drops in class after hitting the board in two of his last three starts.
