BEST BETS: 29 - 52 / $98.00
Race 1
(5)ON TOPOF THE ROCK hasn't been awful in her local appearances and she meets a very questionable field here. (3) MYLITTLESURFERGIRL was a good second here two back. (1) SOMETHINGINAWATER should be on the lead or in the pocket from this spot.
Race 2
(2) JK JAZZITUP was overbet and overly aggressive in her one local start and this is a softer field than she faced that night. (8) GO FIND OUT makes her second start since moving to the Allard barn and she will have to find her way into the race from this spot. (1) FOOLISH HEART qualified effectively and draws best.
Race 3
(4) VENENO ships in for Garcia-Herrera and appears to be slightly faster than these. (2) THINKIN BIG shows some ok form out of town and he draws well here. (8) DEEPFAVE HANOVER makes his 3-year-old debut off a decent qualifier but he lands in a tough outside spot tonight; still worth considering.
Race 4
(1) KEYSTONE PHOENIX has raced well with Schnittker in the bike and now he gets that all-important switch to Stratton. (7) SEDONA SEELSTER arrives from Mohawk, lands in the Banca barn and picks up Bartlett; obvious threat. (2) TRILLIONAIR arrives from Pompano and could fit nicely but he's missed over a month.
Race 5
(1) MAJOR HUMOR bounced back from a poor effort with a nice qualifer and the Banca charge should be ready to roll from this spot. (2) THEATER MAJOR has done little wrong in his brief career. (3) CHLO'S PRINCESS makes his first start for the Lance Hudson barn and prepped well in that qualifier for his seasonal debut.
Race 6
(4) QUEEN JOSEPHINE gave way on the front end when last seen locally but she bounced back with a better effort at Saratoga and MacDonald drives again. (2) QUEEN ELSA is a NY bred filly that appears to have some talent for owner Dan Dube. (7) JULIO'S GIRL broke while in tight on the final turn last out; consider for a share at a much bigger price.
Race 7
(4) NASHURALLABILITY steamrolled through the O'brien series up at Saratoga and she deserves a chance here. (5) MAGIC FORCES has rallied stoutly in her last three. (3) ROLL WITH JOSIE returns locally now in the Allard barn; consider.
Race 8
(8) MAGRITTE needs to overcome the eight hole but he appears to have more talent than these. (6) IMIDEAL HANOVER has raced well in his three local starts. (2) AUSTIN ROCKS gets a better post and could hang around for a share.
Race 9
(2) FROG POND PRINCESS returns locally off a long-overdue win and she could be in line for two straight from this spot. (4) I WISH YOU WELL has been racing well out of town for Lachance. (6) TWIST OF FATE is back in with more reasonable company tonight.
Race 10
(1) I DEAL IN KISSES tripped out to take her local debut for Allard and she can certainly repeat from this spot; only concern is the missed time. (4) ANGELS ROCKN PINK is a strong speed threat. (2) WALK TWO MOONS has done nothing wrong in her last few starts.
Race 11
(3) MACHIAVELLI returns locally after knocking heads with some strong stakes foes; that experience should serve him well here. (2) CANDELL also exits tough PA stakes action and he picks up Bartlett. (4) CLASSY DRAGON had raced well here in the past and he does like to win.
Race 12
(1) STONEBRIDGE BEACH didn't race that badly while clearly overmatched in his last few; Lachance should be able to trip out from this spot. (2) NEVER SAY NEVER N freshened up well and is looking to return to his winning ways. (3) ARTMAGIC raced well in his last two local starts and he looks best of the rest.
