Race 1
(5) MUSTANG MACH N was sitting a 3-hole and rolled up the cones to get the job done last out. Gelding is in fine form so two straight is not out of the question. (6) ANNUITY gets class relief; post hurts but is very capable. (1) UNCLE GOODFELLOW just held on for win honors last time around now moves to the fence; watch out.
Race 2
(1) KADABRASNEWRECRUIT comes by way of Canada and this gelding gets the rail and Sears has the assignment; big threat. (4) FOX VALLEY STEFFEN will need a better trip than in his last flop to contend with these. (6) HOME TURF flashed speed but could not hold off the top two in his latest; could have a say.
Race 3
(1) CASSAS IMAGE was sent down the road in her last try to get the job done. Mare seems to have a fondness for the $12k claiming ranks so the repeat is right within the realm. (6) FOUR STARZ CREDIT moves back to a flat mile and that could help his cause; maybe. (2) CHOCOLATE XPLOSION with a favorable trip he could grab a share of the purse.
Race 4
(1) EVERY INTENTION retains the rail and is on the dropdown. Pacing gelding appears to be ready to fire his best against these; we shall see. (4) CROMBIE A Very sharp qualifier at Pocono puts this guy right in the mix. (3) CHEYENNE JEFFREY Strong qualifier here and knows how to win races at the Hilltop; not out of this.
Race 5
(1) MOVEMENT got the job done right down the road last time out. She now gets the rail and Sears gets the call; the pick. (3) WALLTOCOUSINS gets post relief and blew the doors of his competition two trips ago; threat. (6) HIDDEN IDENTITY has been very sharp in his last three starts; beware.
Race 6
(1) ROCKET MASTER closed strongly to miss the score by only a nose. Gelding can boss these from the fence. (3) SPRINGBANK SAM N is seeking his first score in the U.S. and has put in two good efforts; main danger. (2) GEORGINA CORNER with a better trip, this trotting mare could make some noise.
Race 7
(2) MUSCLES ON FIRE might have pulled the trigger too soon in his last start at Philly. Sophomore gelding could handle the half-mile oval and good to see Brennan with the drive; threat at his best. (5) FETCHIT is knocking at the door based on his last five tries. (1) CURLEYS VICTOR could grab a share of the purse from the fence.
Race 8
(3) YO CHEYENNE ROCKY put in a good bid to land fourth money last time out. Gelding might be heading in the right direction and with a well judged drive he can grab all the marbles. (1) THIRTY TWO RED now moves to door number one and has tactical speed; main danger. (4) CLASSIESISTAR N was flashing speed but did not have enough gas in the tank last out; must be considered.
Race 9
(3) BUZZEN GARLAND seems to be coming back around to return to his winning ways; gets the call. (1) HILLOSOPHICAL was up against it in the Hudson last out so this seems to be a softer spot for this filly to make an impact. (2) PROMISE DELIVERED has put in two seconds in a row so he is very capable of moving forward.
Race 10
(6) TROT COMMANDER Trotter is back at the mile distance and Brennan sees fit to stick with this sophomore gelding; worth a play. (2) NOBLE POWER did flash speed but tired in the stretch drive last time out; could do better from the 2-hole. (7) ALL THAT SPARKLES put in a mild rally to grab the fourth spot last time around.
Race 11
(5) APOSTLES CREED leaves the 7-hole and door number five should fit this trotter; can take this with a fine-timed drive. (2) PIERCEWAVE HANOVER rallied well to miss the victory by only a length; main danger. (6) MILITARY BLUE raced evenly last out and held on for fourth money.
Race 12
(4) DOUBLE YOUR BET was very game for the placing last out. Gelding is clearly knocking at the door so another fine effort he will greet the cameraman for pictures. (3) BLATANTLY BEST gets serious post relief and that should help his cause. (2) CAVIART SKYLER closed strongly to miss glory by a neck; must be considered.
