Analyis:

Race 3: (1) Attack On The Town starts from the pole and that could be key in her doing well tonight. (2) Mattamneris was a gate-to-wire winner two starts backs; could make an easy lead again tonight. (3) Swift Samantha has been drawing horribly; draws better tonight and could make a small splash.

Race 4: (2) Moira’s Intended has as good of a shot as any to be on the ticket. (4) Sweetie Sue Cam faces soft competition tonight and looks to be one of the main contenders. (5) JJs Request is another with a big shot to get the top prize. (9) Mach N Cookies is deserving of a call in this wide-open race where almost any could win.

Race 5: (1) Getrichordietrying starts from the pole and that could be key in her doing well tonight. (3) SJ’s Blissful Lady was a winner last start despite being parked the entire mile; looks to be razor sharp. (5) Best Tasting has been facing better and drops to the level of her last win.

Race 6: (4) Attackatooforu has finished second in this class in three of her last four races; could step up at any time. (7) Paradise Way makes her second local start and has reason to improve.

Race 7: (2) Ribbons Of Color has been drawing horribly and getting bad trips; turns the tables tonight.
