RACE ONE DAILY DOUBLE- 3-3 PICK-5- 3 w 3 w 2,3,4,5 w 3,7,10 w 3,5,6 3-LUCID THOUGHTS…3 to 5 in last against tougher & was too far back to dent but showed strong late trot. 6-THE MUSCLER…started grinding forward last lap in 1st start in new hands. Form continues solid. On tkt. 2-SAINT PATTY’S DOLL…lulled to sleep early in last & 2nd quarter breather for winner diminished chances.

RACE TWO 3-CONNERY BLUE CHIP…had difcult journey in last but still made sharp double bubble move 3/8ths out. 5-MY BUDDY MASON…must’ve traveled 20 yards extra during first half alone in last. Better trip from PP5. 1-YUMA HANOVER…in too tough in last & post hindered, as well. Dips back down & has drawn well here.

RACE THREE 5-DRAKE…bothered early in last but stayed composed to pace mid-half in :56.4. Dub-bubbed last 5/16ths. 4-POKERFACE…likes to be on the board but rarely wins. Still, a force to be reckoned with in this NW2 class 3-MARION…dips back down a notch here. Consistently pacing in 1:56 & a piece. Should love classmates here.

RACE FOUR PENTAFECTA- 3 w 2,5,7,10 w 2,5,7,10 w 2,5,7,10 w ALL 3-TIDEWATER TOMAHAWK…train left the station without him in last but did show pace 3rd qtr. Amiable spot. 10-ALLIE’S DRAGON…missed a couple of starts but dips to lowest rung on ladder. Gets away well from PP10. 7-A LIST…could be on the engine in bulky field here. Showed gate speed in last + second move into far turn. 2-TERRORIZER…was chewed up and spit out in last. Probably going to be a termite as long as possible here. 5-BURNT ON TOP…will be on choo-choo leaving here. Lot depends on pace here. :57, on tkt; :56 = trouble.

RACE FIVE 5-SAILER EDDIE…has a lot going for him here…1) class drop; 2) coveted post. Last time in class won in 1:53.4. 6-POINTE OF INQUIRY…outstanding brushing power & not afraid to gobble up air when given room to roam. 3-LEXIS D J…forged forward to top after quick opener & led until deep stretch. Still, warrior in good efort.

RACE SIX PICK-4- 2,5,6,7 w ALL w 2 w 5 2-PLAYIN FOR KEEPS…was involved in VERY fast mile for “5” claimers in last & showed late pace. Good spot. 7-RED STAR TOMAHAWK…showed very sharp gate speed in last and held reasonably well in speedy mile. 6-REYS N A COMMOTION…laid of hot pace in last and tried backside move but pace didn’t relent. Flies late.

RACE SEVEN 5-MY REVENUER…has credentials to prove last wasn’t a fluke. Lively pace will help his cause once again here. 3-SHE’S ALL IN…probably leaving and yielding for a close up journey throughout. Very sharp form lately. 2-WINDING HILL…wiped out while on the move in last around final turn. Can rock & roll when given room.

RACE EIGHT 2-CAVIART GRIFFIN…post hindered in last but still showed grinding trot from turn 2 to the wire. Flying late. 8-GOLDSTAR CLASSIC…probably on engine leaving. Form looks very sharp. 1-2-3 in about half of starts. 6-JESSE’S PROMISE……rarely throws in a clunker. Will be out following live cover on the backside. Grinds!

RACE NINE 5-NOMAD…last was a very good efort in a tough journey. Liked double bubble move on mid-backside. Edge. 3-DOMINUM DEO…has very strong brushing power but used it a bit too early in last. Patience could benefit. 9-BENNS SCORE KEEPER…in a bit too tough in last but did show excellent backside trot (:28.1). Cover flow.

RACE TEN LATE DOUBLE- 6-5 6-BIG BETTER BEST…was in a difcult spot in last in bulky field. Very sharp backstretch m”oo”ve in last. 4-BEIGNET…was roughed up early in last then shufed to lose all chance. Much better situation this time. 2-FOUR STARZ KYLE…got decent journey in last and showed nice pace final 3/8s. Compares well in here.

RACE ELEVEN SUPER HI 5 – 5 w 1,2,6,8 w 1,2,6,8 w 1,2,6,8 w ALL 5-PAIR OF DEUCES…pulled turn 2 in last & brushed strongly first up & fought hard while forcing submission. 2-SOGGY DOLLAR…excusing last due to equipment problem. Gave hint in prior on backside showing pace. 1-NICHOLAS RYAN…first up journey in last but couldn’t dent winner’s :28 finale. Drew well & gets cozy trip. 6-LILYS REAL BOY…came back from slight injury to perform well since. Sharp pace in final stages last outing. 8-SANTANA BEACH…steps up after convincing win on strength of sharp final panels. On the engine here?
