RACE 2
5- dangerous connections here, looks like a main contender
1- rail draw will keep him in prime stalking position
7- rounding back into top shape, plays well here
RACE 3
4- YG’s choice here, likes the M1 strip
7- might see a wake up mile here, has options from this post
8- drops down and he’s beaten these many times before
RACE 4
7- would love to see him fire off the car here, needs a live drive
5- we all know he can beat these when he’s at the top of his game
6- did show some signs of life last week, looks like he’ll be heard from
RACE 5
9- nice effort in that last start, should move forward off that mile
8- as long as she trots I think she’ll be close on the wire
1- gets DD and the rail, solid chance
RACE 6
5- Silva does pretty well in these amateur events, tepid choice
4- got the job done last week and should have some confidence now
10- might be dangerous at a decent price if the driver can get him back early position
RACE 7
2- one of two Ake horses in here and both have a good shot
1- from the same barn as the above and gets that coveted rail draw
9- DD’s choice over a few others in here, will have to work harder from post nine
RACE 8
5- driver does pretty well in the GSY’s and he gets a nice starting draw
3- he’s still winless in 2022 but that’s not for a lack of trying, fits well
8- another pilot that is always tough to dismiss in the amateur events
RACE 9
8- comes in from Yonkers and stretches out his legs, I’m willing to take a swing with him
2- loses D. Miller but gets a set of capable hands, always a threat at this condition
6- second start back for this guy, dangerous trotting barn
RACE 10
8- versatile enough to do it any way, worth a second look
1- rail draw should serve him well here, should fire out and protect early position
5- gets a good mid-pack starting spot and might show up in the gimmicks
RACE 11
6- she’s ok, usually throws respectable miles and gets a top pilot
2- likely favorite and gets an inside draw to work with
3- looks like she plays well against these, needs to avoid a first up journey
RACE 12, 13 & MUltis
Race 12
8- would be well served to leave the gate alertly, just needs one soft quarter
4- Burke trainee is still trying to fully figure things out, one of these nights he’ll pop
7- good connections here, barn does very well with younger trotters
Race 13
1- lucks into this class and gets a great post to use her early speed
6- was really good in her last try, could easily win this
4- three year old in with some veterans and that’s usually a knock, worth a look though
