Race 2
(5) DANISHDUJOUR is on a roll scoring his second straight victory and the gelding can keep on his winning ways against these. (1) BAZILLION leaves the 8-hole for the fence where he got the job done two starts ago. (2) NOBLES GRAND SLAM should be right in the mix from the two slot.
Race 3
(1) SEAFOOD MISSY Sophomore miss did not fire last time around but a new tactic might be in the works; threat at her best. (5) LADY SPARTACUS was caught at the wire by (4) NOT BEFORE EIGHT last time out. The latter made her pari-mutuel debut a winning one in her most recent try.
Race 4
(4) BUGGER BRUISER drops a notch in class and that might be what he needs to get back to the winner's circle. (6) K SLATER showed speed in his last one. (1) AMERICAN FLIGHT should do much better from the pole position.
Race 5
Will give (6) TRIP HANOVER a shot for the repeat. Gelding took the pocket route home for glory last time around. (5) TALKTOMECOURAGE N was nailed for win honors by the top pick last week. (2) FALL TOY moves back to the 2-hole where he was third best two trips ago.
Race 6
(6) HICKORY ICON is a very consistent pacer who has fine speed and with a relaxing trip, he can go back to his winning self. (4) PAPPYS PAL Gelding is knocking at the door based on his last four tries. (2) VILLAGE BEAT Qualifier at Philly was good enough to contend with these.
Race 7
(7) BABY REMIND ME he moves up in class but with a fine-timed drive from Sears, this pacing mare can take this at her best. (2) SAFE FROM TERROR Sharp sophomore miss just missed her fifth straight victory last week and will clearly be the one to beat. (1) CAROBBEAN PACETRY Two good efforts puts this gal in the hunt from the fence.
Race 8
Will go for the upset with (1) CHEYENNE ROBIN. She could not handle Witch Dali in her last two starts in the Petticoat series, but maybe this gal will turn the tables on that rival from the rail slot. (4) WITCH DALI did not do anything wrong in the series and for sure will be the one to deny. (2) HAY STACKED and (7) CURISINWITHMYBABY complete the trifecta and superfecta respectably.
Race 9
(5) ASTOR is moving up in class off a sharp victory last time out. Gelding is consistent enough to take another score. (3) TRACK MASTER D fits will in here and appears to be the main danger. (1) ROCKS N BONDS returns to the rail where he got the job done two trips back.
Race 10
(1) KEHMMYWOOD Upstate invader should be ready to fire his best against this group. (4) BLADE SEELSTER Maybe the 4-hole can help his cause and Brennan stays on board. (3) MOVEOUTOFMYWAY could have a say in the outcome.
Race 11
(6) NATURAL LEDA did not get involved last time around but he is very capable of getting back on the winning track with a return to his 3/13 trip. (5) JUSTIFIED was over his head facing better recently, but these might be to his liking. (3) HI HO STEVERINO is knocking at the door and can't be counted out.
Race 12
(4) BROOKSTONE Quite sharp in his last three starts, now he moves up the ladder; threat at his best. (2) SIR ZIGGYS Z TAM gets serious post relief and that might help his cause. (1) LIFE UP FRONT should get involved from the fence.
