Race 1
(5) FAIRYTALE PRINCE was sharp in victory in his last try and once again he could be a handful if he gets away cleanly. (1) DONAU was no match for the top pick recently but now he moves to the inside and that could help his cause. (7) SWIFT AS A SHADOW will need a better trip than in his last two starts in order for him to contend with these; worth some consideration.
Race 2
(7) I FOUND MY BEACH was sent right to the front on his way to glory last time around. Gelding figures to be prominent from the start once again so with that said, he could keep on his winning ways. (1) P H SUPERCAM is knocking at the door based on his last two trips to the post; threat. (3) WILD AGAIN is one of the expected speeds coming off his second consecutive victory and now he does have a better post then he did in his last one; not out of this.
Race 3
(4) LONE RAIDER took charge right from the gate and just held on for win honors recently. Veteran gelding is in solid form since Holland took over the reins; looms very tough in here. (1) CHUCARO ACERO BC has hit the board in his last six tries and now he moves to the fence; main danger. (5) SKYFUL OF LIGHTERS just missed glory by a neck last out in his first trip at the Hilltop so he does have every right to put his best foot forward.
Race 4
(4) BYE BYE MICHELLE stayed in the pocket most of the way but could not get past the winner, missing by a half of a length last out. Mare seems to be heading in the right direction and she is in a good spot as any of these. Can take this if she brings her A-game to the table. (1) AMATEUR HOUR gets serious post relief and that could help her cause. (3) COVEREDNDIAMONDS N moves down the ladder and gets a better draw so she must be respected in this event.
Race 5
(2) LINE DANCER has very good speed and she moves back to door number two where she got the job done down the road. Could be tough to reel in if she is able to control the tempo. (1) BLUSH HANOVER gets the luck of the draw and she did rally strongly to grab the placing two trips ago; big threat. (4) BRONZE OVER N has put in two consecutive placings at Philly so she will try to contend with these on the half-mile oval; quite possible.
Race 6
(6) MONICA GALLAGHER was a sharp winner at this level last time out and the pacing mare seems to be on her A-game, so with that said her second straight score is clearly not out of the question. (3) MADE OF JEWELS AS moves up in class but she does have tactical speed to stay within range of these; player. (5) LISPATTY could not get past the top pick last out but she is very capable of being right in the mix; watch out.
Race 7
(6) LAKEISHA HALL gets class relief in here and the five-year-old miss does have the positional speed to work out an ideal stalking trip. Should make her presence felt and she will be very tough to beat at this level. (5) DELIGHTFULMEMPHISN closed well to grab the victory in her Meadowlands finale. Consistent mare can make some serious noise with a favorable trip. Based on her last two tries (2) ELLA MICHELLE A is knocking at the door so she is very capable despite the rise in condition.
Race 8
(6) TWOMACSONESHADOW is heading in the right direction based on his last two second-place finishes. Post hurts tonight but he does fit at this level, so with that said he has to be respected for win honors if he is able to run back to his last two starts. (1) CHEYENNE REIJANE is much better than in his last flop; has the speed to be dangerous from the rail. (9) ARDIE B SPEED was sent down the road in his latest for all the glory. Moves now to the second tier so he is certain to be forwardly placed throughout.
Race 9
(2) JEWEL LEHIGH A did not fire in her last trip to the post but there is enough speed for her to work out an ideal stalking trip. Could improve here if she gets a better setup than she did in her last start. (4) BETTORHAVEANOTHER was a game winner from the dropdown last time around; win candidate again. (1) MACH IT A PAR drops in class, moves to the fence and Bartlett had other options but stays with the veteran mare; looms very tough here at a short price.
Race 10
(8) WISHY WASHY GIRL takes a drop in class and she is going to have to get the job done from door number eight but she does have high percentage barn Banca who tabs go-to driver Jason Bartlett for the assignment; If she brings her A-game to the table she can greet the camera operator for pictures. (6) CHERRY BLISS seems to be heading in the right direction based on her last try and it is good to see Brennan at the helm; big factor. (4) SAIL TO THE BEACH didn't race badly in her last one and now she moves inside which very much puts her in the ballpark with these; not out of this.
