Analysis:
Race 8: (5) Mega Hall makes a second start for the Loney stable and has reason to improve.
Race 9: (6) Starlitestarbright drops out of open company and could score here.
Race 10: (7) Victory Is Coming broke Northfield track record in her most recent effort and looks to be solid again tonight. (8) Rehab Mountain has four wins in a row and looks to have the ability to overcome the outside post draw.
Race 11: (1) Western Truth draws the inside advantage and that advantage may be key to securing a victory tonight. (2) Delivered Rules is a classy veteran that has a big shot to do well in here. (5) Jordan Jeffrey was a winner last time out but is facing stiffer competition tonight.
