Moonlight Cocktail scored in a lifetime best mile of 1:53.2.

Moonlight Cocktail is destined to be bred later this spring to Chapter Seven. The Kadabra-Angostura 5-year-old is owned by Richard Gutnick and T L P Stable. She recorded her second win in the last three outings, a 1:53.2 lifetime best in the first $12,000 Winners Over trot of the day. Tony Morgan, who has driven her in all of her Dover starts, guided the convincing win. Soda Pump (Tim Tetrick) was runner-up with Honor And Serve (Corey Callahan) third.

Sean Bier shot Bro Hanover into the lead on the backstretch and then pulled away for a 1:53.3 career mark in a $12,000 conditioned pace event. Crissy Crissman-Bier owns and trains the 4-year-old altered son of Somebeachsomewhere-Burning Point. It was also his second win in the last three races. Takeittotheface (Morgan) finished second in front of BT’s Breeze (Vic Kirby).

On Wednesday, Divas Image (Morgan), seeking a fifth straight $25,000 Mares Open win, takes on three-time winner Terror At Night (Montrell Teague) and Shartin N (Tetrick), a winner of her last two in a row.
