Race 1
1st--#6 Jesse’s Majesty–Gets a big driver upgrade to Chris Page. Is clearly the “one to beat” in here.
2nd--#2 Verge of Victory—First race off a layoff but drops in class and gets a driver upgrade to Kurt Sugg. Should be a player tonight.
3rd-#4 Not You Again-Has had major “breaking” issues. However, I expect Elliot Deaton to give a solid drive tonight.
So… EXACTA 2 6 with 2 4 6 7
Race 2
1st--#1 Richie The Clown–A monster effort on the lead last week. A similar effort will get him the win again tonight.
2nd--#2 Jenna’s Dream-Needs to have his nose on the gate tonight. If he can avoid a first over trip, he will be a strong contender.
3rd--#4 PutnamPacingMachin-Has put up some big efforts in the recent past. If he can avoid a speed dual, he will be “right there” late.
So… TRIFECTA 1 with 2 3 4 with 2 3 4
Race 3
1st--#7 Rockin H Cherry O–Drops in class and has put together some nice efforts at NFLD. A solid effort is expected.
2nd--#4 Makin Green Lavec—Third race off a layoff and this field is easier than the first two. Should be a contender tonight.
3rd--#8 Al Brown—Getting post 8 and the trainer driving may be a red flag, but this trotter has good potential.
So… EXACTA 4 7 with 4 5 7 8
Race 4
1st--#9 Up Front Carl-Gets Merriman back in the bike and he has been finishing his miles strong. Should grind it out and keep coming late.
2nd--#3 Rella On Attack-Needs to be forwardly placed to contend. This appears likely. Could surprise if he is not pressured early.
3rd--#4 RD Rustler-Since the trainer has given up the reigns, this one has performed much better. Another good effort is expected.
So… EXACTA 3 9 with 1 3 4 9
Race5
1st--#3 Short Message–Has been dominant at this level. However, he has had “breaking” issues, so don’t put all your eggs in this basket.
2nd--#2 Zoomin Jesse-Has raced very solid the last few weeks. A similar effort will have him “in the mix” late.
3rd--#8 Grandpa’s JojoBeni-Has raced extremely well with Merriman in the sulky. Another solid effort is expected.
So… EXACTA 2 3 with 2 3 6 8
Race 6
1st--#4 DM Ion-He has a nice late kick. With a quick early pace likely, he could motor by them all late.
2nd--#1 Pandapocket-If he can get the lead or secure the pocket, he will be a major player as they turn for home.
3rd--#2 Free For Life-Ships back to NFLD. Last year at this level, he was a “hit or miss” type. Not consistent enough to be the favorite.
So… EXACTA 1 4 with 1 2 3 4
Race 7
1st--#5 Johnny Absolut-Has major back class. Going to take a flyer on this one. If ready, this may be the race you get decent odds to cash in on.
2nd--#1 Bodandy Andy-Received a soft 2nd quarter on the lead last week. It will be more difficult this week, but he should be a player.
3rd--#3 Boneire’s Rusty-It appears he came up flat the final quarter mile last week at Sciota. Deceiving, it was a very fast third quarter.
So… EXACTA 1 5 with 1 3 5 7
Race 8
1st--#5 Wardog Hall–If he can fire out and find the rail quickly, he will be a strong contender tonight. Merriman’s choice over the favorite, #1.
2nd--#1 Smooth Sailor-Races his best “on the lead” or in the pocket. This is likely tonight. Should be a solid contender tonight.
3rd--#3 Eagle Jacob-Solid closer that moves up in class after a nice win. Will be in a good late “striking” position, but will likely need the front end to falter to win.
So… Exacta 1 5 with 1 3 4 5
Race 9
1st--#1 Polo Joe-Has put up some nice efforts the last few weeks. Much better than the program makes it appear. The “one to beat” tonight.
2nd--#7 GordieIsAnArtist–This appears to be a big drop in class, but it is not. These are about the same. However, he is capable of some big miles, so I must use in here.
3rd--#6 J T Stena-Has been sick recently and has come up a bit short in his recent efforts. Capable with “bounce back” effort
So… TRIFECTA 1 with 6 7 with 3 6 7 8
Race 10
1st--#7 Nathan-Has a big late kick. If the front end falters he could pounce on them late. Worth an 8-1 ML longshot look.
2nd--#6 Classy Fun-Decent effort last week. However, he will need to improve to be a contender. Possible.
3rd--#4 Vaniscape-Gets a driver upgrade to Ryan Stahl. Has been racing well recently and a similar effort is expected tonight.
So… EXACTA 6 7 with 1 4 6 7
Race 11
1st--#2 Jordan Jeffrey-Can “leave” or “close” giving Merriman options from post 2. Should be “in the mix” late.
2nd--#4 Sharp Shuttle-Appeared to come up a bit short last week. This was not the case. A very strong horse was on the lead. A player with a similar effort tonight.
3rd--#3 Rapid City-Drops in class and gets Chris Page in the sulky. He should be challenging as they turn for home.
So… EXACTA 2 4 with 1 2 3 4
Race 12
1st--#2 Kollateral Damage-Gets Merriman back in the bike tonight. Will be a strong contender if he can get the lead or secure the pocket.
2nd--#4 Baby Bubby-Looked very strong on the lead last week. A similar effort makes him a major player again tonight.
3rd--#3 YankeeDoodleDandee—A solid closer. If he can avoid a first over trip, he will be charging hard late.
So… EXACTA 2 4 with 1 2 3 4
Race 13
1st--#1 Epes-Takes a big drop in class and get an improved post. He is clearly the “one to beat” in here. Will have to come up flat to lose.
2nd--#5 Jeremy’s Chaser-Has one big move, if timed correctly, will land him on the ticket. If #1 pulls away late, he should pass many tired horses.
3rd--#9 NukeFortunateson-Has looked real good the last few weeks. If he can stick his nose on the favorites tail early. He should will likely finish 2nd.
So… TRIFECTA 1 with 5 9 with 3 4 5 9
