Analysis:

Race 8: (4) Bookie Farout just missed last time; drops in class off of that effort and does not miss tonight. (5) Lucky Power has been on the board in both of his last two races; could step-up at any time.

Race 9: (1) My Mystique draws much better tonight and should finish better, too. (2) Barbazon could trip-out in here with all of the leaving and come away with the victory. (9) San Zambello has been racing well; steps up in class but should get a good trip from the second tier.

Race 10: (1) Lima Ritch looks to be sharp right now but also looks to be facing tougher tonight. (3) Can Repeat has been racing well for his new connections; can get it done tonight with his best effort. (4) SF Stampede looks to be in good form but raced in a closers’ delight last race. (9) DM Ion could trip-out starting behind a leaver, but unsure if he can stay with him at the beginning.

Race 11: (1) Triple G has been knocking at the door in many of her races; continues to knock tonight. (9) Legacy Chip starts from the Angus barn that has a .590 average; improves that average even more tonight.
