Analysis:

Race 8: (7) Sandy Win was game beating similar to take a new lifetime mark over the track in last. (8) Ideal Lifestyle A ships in sharp with three straight wins at Philadelphia for hot barn.

Race 9: This is a wide open race. I’m using all four of my listed contenders, 4, 6, 9, 10 on one ticket, and on the second ticket, I used (6) Jewel Lehigh A, who needed last and gets a better spot here, and Burke shipper (9) Sudden Passing.

Race 10: There are some classy trotters here. I’m trying three. (6) Two Am won off a layoff in last and steps up sharp.(3)  Muscle Diamond hasn’t raced since June but he does very well at this track. (2) Nows The Moment drops a notch and moves back inside while sharp.

Race 11: (3) Muscle Fashion takes a key drop and may be tough to beat here as he draws inside of main rivals. But on my main ticket I also used (5) Lucky Matter, off the drop, and (7) Cyclone Maximus, dropping and getting a better post.
