Analysis:
Race 8: (7) – Elusive Rainbow – Moves to the Loney barn and that has been a winning move for many.
Race 9: (1) – What Do You Want – Makes a second start off of a qualifier, drops in class, draws the rail and could post a victory. (3) – Dia Magdalene – Has the ability to be prominently placed on the ticket.
Race 10: (1) – Diamonds Revenge – Drops in class, draws the rail and has a big shot to do well. (3) – Dirt Road Phil – Has two straight wins a looks for a threepeat tonight.
Race 11: (1) – Button Fly – Was an easy winner last time out and looks to score again tonight. (4) – Manartica – Makes his Northfield debut and looks to be the only threat to #1.
