Analysis:

Race 8: I’m going to try two in this trot. (6) Buff is dropping and should go well. (9) Montalbano Bi broke in last but drops and has rebounded to win after breaking several times in his career.

Race 9: This is a tough one. I’m going to use all four of my listed contenders, 1, 7, 8, 10.

Race 10: (8) Danish Durango may outclass these, but he makes breaks, so I’m using two others, (3) Commentary and (6) Steed.

Race 11: (9) Art History will probably be a short price but I’m going to take a stand against him because (5) Spirit Of Truth is my Best Bet. Art History dropped in class at Pocono and lacked a rally at 4-5 odds. Spirit Of Truth drops and gets a better post.
