Analysis:
Race 8: (8) Victory Is Coming – Buckeye monster is the real deal.
Race 9: (1) Matthew’s Game Boy – Draws the inside advantage and could do well for his new connections. (2) Genuine Star N – Draws into a race where several could win; this one has as good of a shot as any.
Race 10: (1) American Romance – Finished second in his moat recent effort and looks to do well again tonight. (5) Chase The Sun – Drops in class and looks to be at a level where he is the best.
Race 11: (2) Scootin Mcardle – Could do well upon returning to Cleveland. (4) Float Blue Chip – Drops in class and should have a better showing this time around.
