Analysis:

Race 8: I am tempted to single (4) Queen Aliceanna here, but she can get collared late and the two and the nine are the likely suspects.

Race 9: (8) S F Spiderman is clearly the best horse, but he draws the snowman. (4) Jo impressed me in his debut Saturday and may step up. (5) Drift Away just needs to keep trotting.

Race 10: (3) Famed Artist shows little, but somehow I keep coming back to him. (1) St Jated Strike is a major player from he rail. (4) Polo Aub is my question mark horse. I need to use her, but I am not a fan, so we use her as a saver.

Race 11: (5) Campside Angel is getting her legs under her and closed gamely for Swartz last time, while (1) C R Dream has been a tease lately, but will get an aggressive trip with fresh hands.
