Race 1
(6) BEACH MEMORIES is knocking at the door based on his last try; contender for win honors. (8) MR RIGHT HANOVER put in a sharp qualifier last out for his return; post hurts but he is capable. (1) NITRO GLISTENING should appreciate the move to the rail.
Race 2
(3) CASCADA was a sharp second at Monticello last time out so he is clearly heading in the right direction; threat at his best. (5) ON THE ROPES has wheeled off two straight victories and by far is the main danger for the hat trick. (6) COACH CUMMINGS will need a better trip than in his last; possible.
Race 3
(4) CREDIT LIST was nailed for win honors last out but this trotter seems to be on top of his game; ready to score against these. (1) DEWEY HAVA WINNER is one sharp cookie scoring big again last time at Monticello; the one to deny. (5) TIME IS FLEETING showed life in his latest and must be considered in the exotic picture.
Race 4
(1) CHAPTER AND RUTH Juvenile colt is heading in the right direction and now gets the rail; ready for action. (2) BROADWAY BRUISER took the pocket route on his way to victory last out; player again. (7) ACTIVIST was sent down the road in his recent trip for all the glory but now he will have to get it done from the 7-hole; maybe.
Race 5
(1) WELL SHADED just missed the victory by a head last out and now she draws much better, plus gets the services of Brennan; the pick. (4) GOLD STAR DYNASTY raced evenly for fourth money recently and she could have a say against this group. (3) SHE SAID was DQ'd last time out for win honors but she is very capable of making some noise in here.
Race 6
(7) CLIVE BIGSBY lost the victory by a length last out at Monticello. 2-year-old gelding is fit and ready to boss this group at his best. (3) FUNKNPANCAKES put in a mild rally for the show spot last time around; player. (2) GREAT GLIDER should fare better from the 2-hole; we shall see.
Race 7
(3) PURPOSE BLUE CHIP Clearly he is knocking at the door based on his two sharp efforts; poised to boss these. (5) DON got the job done in his Monticello finale; big threat. (4) CRUISING IN STYLE should fit well in here if given the right trip; not out of this.
Race 8
(5) L DEES COURAGEOUS was a game second last time out at Monticello and now he will try to make tonight a winning one at the Hilltop. (6) FOURTH DIMENSION has scored his second straight victory last week upstate; the main danger. (1) TITO has put in two good starts in a row so the rail slot tonight could make him move forward; watch out.
Race 9
(4) DYNAMITE DUDE A gets serious post relief off a nice second from the 7-hole last time out; the pick. (5) VERSADO needs a better trip than in his last try; possible. (3) CARD SHOCK can be right in the mix and Sears sticks with him.
Race 10
(5) QUEEN KENDALL was the boss in her last score and seems this mare is ready to take another one. (2) AMBRO COURAGE N gets post relief and that should help her cause. (3) MACHO CHICK might get involved against these if she gets a favorable trip.
Race 11
(4) LEGION OF BOOM has raced quite well in his last four tries and he should be a nice fit around the half-mile oval. So with a well judged drive, he can get the job done. (7) GRAND MASTER moves down the ladder and good to see Bartlett with the drive; big threat. (1) E STREET PLAN gets serious post relief and Brennan has the assignment; beware.
Race 12
(1) IMA TRAGEDY N was caught in deep stretch for win honors last time around. He now moves up in class but he has the rail and his form is quite sharp; worth a shot. (2) CAVIART SKYLER was on the lead most of the way but did not have enough gas in the tank; main danger. (4) ROAD UNTRAVELED should fare much better from the 4-hole; maybe.
