| RACE NUMBER | CONTENDERS | COMMENTS |
| Race 8 | 1-6-8-3 | In this starter allowance… #1 Can’t Stop This Man (2-1) is well spotted here. Second in his last two starts, he needs an alert start but figures much the best here #6 Distractandattack (9-2) is dropping back to a sprint after two straight route races. His best races are on the lead and if he gets the trip he can upset today… #8 Uncle Gary G (4-1) puked last time, but throw out last and he has the speed to take it gate to wire… #3 Buffalo Shuffle (8-1) can get a major piece if he gets an easy lead, but this is a race full of speed… |
| Race 10 | 5-10-6-4 | In this starter allowance… #5 Studio B (9-2) is a Penn National shipper from a strong barn. A repeat of his last makes him a winner here… #10 Sneakiness (7-2) was second just beaten a nose last start against similar, and the show horse returned to win. That makes him main rival here… #6 Thousand Percent (6-1) faced better last start, which makes him a major player with these… #4 Double the Heart (6-1) is dropping back from a rout to a sprint. With a clever ride, he can take down a piece in a very competitive field. |
