Race 1: N/W $12,000 L5 1 – RIVER RUN FOR RYAN – Steps up off loss in 2016 return, but showed good late foot; should secure good trip from rail; 7-1 ML 2 – TAURANGA – Visually impressive close for win off of fast fractions; 2-1 ML is uninviting; Bartlett’s pick over #3 8 – CHANCELLOR CULLEN N – Have to respect a speed horse who earned nearly $350K down under; tough post and double jumps
Race 2: N/W $18,000 L5 – EARLY PICK 3 (2-4) − TROT 1 – OUTBURST – Lacks early speed, but looks best in here with tonight’s drop & draw; faced much better last year; 4 – AWSOME VALLEY – Two 2016 Swamp tries poor, including break in last; think return to four turn mile will be welcome; 15-1 ML 2 – YOU’RE MAJESTIC – Another starting off a break; factor if she stays flat; did battle with the best last year as 3 YO filly
Race 3: N/W $12,000 L5 – EARLY PICK 4 (3-6) 1 – BLATANTLY BEST – Major post relief in 2nd try this level; winner last try here this level (from rail); 6-1 ML 2 – MOONLITEONTHEBEACH – Takes key drop, but Bartlett’s choice of #7 suggests he may need a start 6 – HEEZ ORL BLACK N – Returns at reduced level off sharp q 4 – AMERICAN FLIGHT – Last was poor, but can save ground for slice
Race 4: N/W $18,000 L6 – MIDDLE PICK 3 (4-6) 7 – CYCLONE KIWI N – Has lost to some quality horses this year; Bartlett will get aggressive on the drop; winner last this level 3 – OUR WALDEN BURY N – Has shown real ability when he’s drawn inside; will be charging late for Smith; 12-1 ML 4 – JENERAL PATTON – Visually impressive win one notch down; may follow choice and can make late noise again
Race 5: N/W $18,000 L5 – LATE PICK 4 (5-8) 3 – PASS THEM BY N – Late 2015 form was excellent; should be close enough to make late kick a winning one 4 – ONE THROUGH TEN – No effort in first two 2016 tries; expect Brennan will be blasting in this spot; 37-5-11-9 in 2015 1 – ONEDIN MACH N – Invades Hilltop with good Swamp form (4 wins in 6 starts); Dube’s pick over #4
Race 6: OPEN HDP − TROT 7 – RED HOT HERBIE – Gets better of assignments vs #8; expect Sears will be blasting to gain early tactical advantage 8 – NOT AFRAID – Has recaptured early 2015 glory, but has to deal with tough assignment tonight in full field 3 – SOMEBODY AS – Speedster may be able to gain position
Race 7: N/W $18,000 L5 – PICK 5 (7-11) 2 – VILLAGE BEAT – Drops and gets post relief; very dangerous if he can reproduce December form; 8-1 ML 1 – ORILLIA JOE – 1 st up winner two back one notch down; nice 3rd this level vs. two good ones in last; tough from rail 3 – ROYAL HEART – Capable of hitting board by saving ground
Race 8: OPEN HDP – LATE PICK 3 (8-10) 6 – MELMERBY BEACH – Return try was good when he tired late for 2nd; will need to battle #5 for early position 5 – PHIL YOUR BOOTS – Reformed $8K claimer finds a much better perch from which to leave 4 – HUGH HEFNER N – Intriguing down under type can rally 7 – ATTA BOY DAN – Owns class edge, but will likely have a lot to do late from out here
Race 9: N/W $18,000 L5 1 – FORTY FIVE RED – Tired in 1st 2016 Hilltop start; co-track record holder drops and will deploy his high speed 2 – MCARDLE ROYALE N – Somehow got bad trip from rail in last; should sit pocket trip behind choice 3 – SOHO JACKMAN A – Nice rally for 2nd this level in last
Race 10: N/W $18,000 L5 3 – SHADY CITY – Winner this level in last 2015 start; tough trip behind dull cover in 2016 debut; draws inside main rivals 4 – ROLAND N ROCK – Tough trip vs. much better group this level; expect Dube will be aggressive tonight 6 – HIGHVIEW CONALL N – Good effort this level two back in Hilltop debut; repeat of that would make him major factor 2 – BJ’S GUY – Classy sort draws well, but may need another
Race 11: N/W $25,000 L5 − TROT 1 – CLEMENTINE DREAM – Lasted on lead in last & gets free ride, rail & Bartlett stays 5 – CROSBY’S CLAM BAKE – Just missed behind choice in big effort in last; will be chasing again; Sears opts for #3 3 – MONEY MAVEN – Steps up off solid win on both ends
Race 12: N/W $25,000 L5 1 – SUNFIRE BLUE CHIP – Soon to be millionaire was sharp in Hilltop return & gets free ride (and rail & Sears to boot) 2 – DRUNKEN DESIRE A – Gets big drop & should be in close attendance to choice 3 – CAROL’S COMET – Good 2nd in last this level; Sears opts for #1 and will likely try to save ground 6 – POLAK A – Multiple Levy leg winner steps up off sharp win
