Analysis:

Race 8: (3) Mandela Blue Chip finished well in last, drops, and finds a good spot.

Race 9: (5) Derf Hanover is sharp and may take another, but I’m going to use all four of my listed contenders here, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Race 10: (1) Hepburn Hanover draws inside of her main rivals.

Race 11: This is a wide open race. (8) Eyore Hanover faces weaker and is the one to beat. (2) Starsaboveallerage is in good form. (6) Illinimight broke in first start over the track but barn does well with trotters.
