Race 1
(3) UPPERCUTZ gets post relief and he is good enough to take this at his best. (1) SUPER S YZERMAN should appreciate the move the fence; threat. (4) COPPER COAST A has tactical speed to be a strong factor.
Race 2
(2) NIC NAC PATTY MACH put in a mild rally for fourth money last time out so she might be heading in the right direction; using. (5) GOLD STAR DYNASTY was on the lead most of the way, but was caught in deep stretch last out; player. (6) LITTLE JOKE was very game in her last try, but she could not get to the winner; not out of this.
Race 3
(4) FAITHFUL DESIRE Filly was sharp taking them down the road for all the marbles last week and should keep on her winning ways. (3) LEAN ON WHO was very game last time around and she is knocking at the door; big factor. (5) THAT'S HOW WE ROLL rallied strongly to nail down the placing recently.
Race 4
(4) UNDER THE BUS is 0 for 11 this year but thesophomore is getting closer to taking her first score; threat at her best. (3) PINE BUSH JOE moves to door number three and that should help her cause; maybe. (2) KIMS DESIRE has put in four straight good efforts and she must be considered in all the exotic slots.
Race 5
(3) AMERICAN FLIGHT showed signs of life in his latest and he catches a weak group; gets the call. (1) JUMBO JET N should fare much better from the rail; we shall see. (2) MIKES POWERHOUSE put in a so-so qualifier last out and good to see Bartlett with the drive; watch out.
Race 6
(6) VERY SPECIAL AGENT might have been used up in the early stages last time around. 3-year-old can top these with a well judged drive from Brennan. (3) PARTY BOY has been quite good upstate and figures to be right in the mix. (1) HORSING AROUND should fit well against these and the rail should help his cause.
Race 7
(6) NIALL HANOVER is clearly knocking at the door based on his last two outings and with a favorable trip, he can boss these. (1) CHEYENNE REIJANE Gelding was a good third last out and should be a player from the rail. (2) ARDEEN Upstate invader has speed to be right in the swing of things.
Race 8
(6) SEDONA SEELSTER was nailed for win honors last time out and this gelding appears to be heading in the right direction; ready to greet the cameraman for pictures. (2) GAIUS CRASTINUS gets serious post relief and should make some noise in here. (3) LUCKY SPELL was third best recently and must be considered in the exotics.
Race 9
Will try (3) CHEYENNE JEFFREY to put it all together. Gelding drops in class and gets a cozy post; the pick. (5) ARI ALLSTAR did not race badly at Pocono last time out and could have a say with a favorable trip. (4) SPORTSMANSHIP rallied quite well to grab the show spot last time around; not out of this.
Race 10
(9) TOATSMYGOATS leaves the 8-hole for the second tier and the gelding can boss these at his best. (3) PARKLANE EAGLE was sitting a 3-hole trip and came inside for the victory last out; player again. (5) RURAL ART was third best against better recently and now Bartlett takes over the assignment; watch out.
Race 11
(4) ANDYS IDEAL just missed glory by 3/4 of a length. Sophomore is knocking at the door and with the right trip he can get the job done. (2) BETTORS WESTERN gets a better post and now Brennan takes over this 3-year-old pacer; main danger. (6) MYIDEALSON N beat lesser in his last trip; could be right in the mix.
Race 12
(2) KAMWOOD LAUGHTER N Veteran mare moves back inside and she is good enough to return to her winning ways. (7) SCOOTIN FOR JOY was the boss in her last two starts but she will have to get it done from the 7-hole; possible. (6) GADSDEN HANOVER drops a notch in class and Bartlett is back in the bike; beware.
