Race 1
#4 Lucca's Revenge - sharpening up and gets the improved post
#2 Chippendale Dancer - should also leave and get the good trip
#3 American Tribute - expect her to be more involved this week
#1 He's Spurtacular - will be buried early, but could have something to say if he gets loose
Race 2
#3 Drop Of Nutmeg - have really been impressed with this mare, could get a price tonight
#2 Spellbinder - would get the call if we knew he was healthy
#4 Depravedhedonist - impressive last week, never have seen him win two in a row
#6 Lady Mcjate - a little too much power inside this always game mare
Race 3
#1 Rose Run Equal - overlays this field if he's even close to his old self
#5 Dublin Dollars - form reversal only a matter of time
#3 Touch Of Nay - warned you about him last week, racing extremely well
#6 Vrahos Again - a little too far outside to consider higher
Race 4
#4 Noble Cruiser - should keep cruising, headed for the open
#1 Meritage Hanover - gets the good draw for his third start
#2 Saucy Brown - sharp and should continue to hang around this class
#9 He's Determined - drops back after the trip from hell, hard to put him higher from this post
Race 5
#1 Painted Speed - dominated last time he raced in this class
#3 Fortune Ho - should head for the top again
#4 Townline Powerful - works hard every week
#2 Art's Baker - fourth a week ago, why not again?
Race 6
#4 Lakeside Al - moves back inside, goes straight to the top
#5 Expresso Forte - drops from the open after a week off
#1 Fox Valley Jammin - a professional back driving tonight, the rail always a help
#2 Go Bogart - above his best class, but post is most on Saturday night
Race 7
#1 Rapport Hanover - released from 6 hole purgatory, faces a very tame field
#2 G Rod - one of the better leavers in the group, should be in good position
#4 Liftoff Bayama - moving back up, hits his ceiling about here
#3 CB Three - pretty much a trip horse, don't see him getting it tonight
Race 8
#2 Nickie K - the easiest of winners last time out, can make the jump, Wyatt a big plus
#1 Hello Carlo - really like this trotter, lack of early foot a hindrance
#5 Anastasia Broadway - didn't want to go last week, will be a factor if she wants to race tonight
#9 Striking Genius - like the horse, but the post and driver leave me cold
Race 9
#1 Sparks Of Gold - Mooney has the golden touch these days
#2 Romance's Thunder - it's just a matter of time before he breaks though in this class
#8 BJ's Tune - will pay a heavy price to make the top from here
#3 Utica Hanover - this one can take a lot of air and keep coming, he'll prove it again tonight
Race 10 Long Shot Play Of The Night
#6 Cunning Design - love this horse against this not so stellar field
#2 Soul Redeemer - no shot last week, big chance tonight
#5 Eagle Tack - gets the improved post, horse has never impressed me
#2 E C K - Merriman can't hurt, age has caught up with this class horse
Race 11
#1 Dontgetintheway - where are all the real open class pacers?
#4 Category Six - knocking on the door the last couple
#7 Royalton Star - really has been a surprise, post no help tonight
#6 Whatanartist - second time Schillaci, we'll see
Race 12
#7 Osborne's Bullet - has shown he can race from out here, only one horse to beat
#5 Spires Trick - love a claimer in a cheap condition, first time Sugg not the best of angles
#2 Armadas Rocket - has actually looked better the last couple, could win on a class drop .
#1 Patrick Craig Cam - Aaron and the rail, nothing else to like
Race 13
#5 Bad Boy Bunny - great spot for Merriman with this five year old
#4 Eagle Creek Patrol - was trying hard before the wardrobe malfunction, last won at this level
#9 Fancy Schmansy - post gives me pause, really stepped it up last week
#1 Knockout Sahbra - not sure why he's favored, hasn't won in this class for several years
Good Luck
