Analysis:

Race 7: (7) Ontario Success had a tough trip in last but raced gamely. I’m also using (1) Parnu Hanover, who set the pace under pressure.

Race 8: This races seems to set up for a closer and (4) City Pie and (5) Dr C’s Z Tam are both sharp and in good spots.

Race 9: This may be a tough race. I’m going to try three, (2) Joe Larry N Curly, (3) Sassy Hanover and (4) Stratocaster.

Race 10: (1) Totally Dreamy drops and should improve. (5) Giddy Up Delight was a game winner in last. (8) The Fire Within rallied wide from a tough spot.
