Race 1
(7) AZOREANSAILOR has good tactical speed. Has a good chance to turn the tables on rival (1) CHINA DREAM. The latter was sent down the road last out for all the glory; dangerous again. (6) DONT FOOL WITH ME appears to be a threat based on his last two trips.

Race 2
(2) DIAMONDKEEPER Sharp gelding scored his sixth straight victory. Clearly the one to deny. (4) DABUNKA has been right there in his last three tries; main danger. (7) FOX VALLEY DEUCE could have a say in the outcome.
Race 3
(1) TOUCH AND GO very game effort last time out for this 10-year-old gelding. Now gets the fence where he can work out a better trip; gets the call. (7) STONEBRIDGE COWBOY has hit the board in his last four starts. (3) SPEEDACIOUS was second best in his last one.
Race 4
(2) KEEMOSABE Easy score at this level in his recent outing. Ready to boss this group once again. LONG FIGHT HANOVER is getting close to getting back to the winner's circle based on his last five starts. (1) ONE WARRAWEE took the pocket route home to victory last out.
Race 5
(4) LUCKY TERROR put in a nice effort for the show spot in his last trip to the post. Has the right stuff to move forward against these. (1) ART FOR ARTS SAKE should do much better from the rail slot. (2) NASSAU COUNTY can be a big factor in here so watch out.
Race 6
(2) VIRGIN MARY She might be coming back to form based on her last try. Can put her best foot forward for all the marbles. (7) KRISPY APPLE is better than her latest; threat. (6) JONSIE JONES got the job done wire to wire; beware again.
Race 7
(1) FANTICIPATION moves down in class and draws the pole position. She is ready to make tonight a winning one. (2) SCOOTIN FOR JOY has fine speed and will be a serious threat in this event. (5) DUNE IN RED just held on last out for win honors.
Race 8
This seems to be a good spot for (6) MALAK USWAAD N to return to his winning ways. (4) SAFE HARBOR is better than his most recent outing. (3) HI HO STEVERINO could land a share.
Race 9
(6) LUCKY MAN moves down a notch in class. Pacing gelding could return to his 4/23 trip. If that's the case, it's light's out for the rest. (1) GARNET RIVER A Wire to wire score last out for this old pro; big player again. (2) FITZ'S Z TAM Clearly he will be right in the mix.
Race 10
(1) FLEX THE MUSCLE Trotter moves to the fence where he can get a better trip; all systems go. (3) OUTBURST beat lesser company in his last one. (2) WALLTOCOUSINS Philly invader is not out of this by far.
Race 11
Will try (7) CLASSY LANE ROSE to get back to the winner's circle and Brennan is keeping the faith. (1) OUR ELS DREAM N can be right there from the fence. (2) HANDSOFFMYCOOKIE She fits with these; watch out.
Race 12
(1) ROYAL KNOCKOUT She has been very keen in her last three starts. Pacing miss has the rail slot and should be ready to boss these at her best. (7) ROCKAROUND SUE just got up for win honors last out. (6) STRINGS is not out of this based on strong connections.
