Analysis:

Race 7: (4) Not Before Eight gets a much better spot this week. (8) Totally Rusty shipped in from Yonkers and posted a big upset and she is capable of leaving.

Race 8: This race is wide open even though it’s a seven-horse field. I think I can get by with three, 1, 2, 6.

Race 9: I’m going to single (2) Penpal here. She lost at low odds at Harrah’s in last but it was a quick mile over an off track. Two back was a sharp winner over this track.

Race 10: (4) Nowucit Nowudont raced well off the layoff in last. I’m also using (6) I C Caviar, who takes a key drop.
