Analysis:
Race 8: 2- Yankeedoodledandee – Has been competing despite drawing bad posts; should be tough from post-two. 4- Oh My Sam – Looks to be rounding into good form; Noble should help the cause.
Race 9: 2- Pathway Dot Com – Has tactical gate speed and should de able to set up a good trip. 6- Uplaythegametowin – Spearman hands the lines to Miller and looks for results.
Race 10: 4- Lotto Ticket – His lines speak for themselves.
Race 11: 2- Artie’s Gift – Comes to Cleveland from though Scioto Downs; the Morgan barn is worthy of close consideration. 3- Kilo Shark – Makes a second start for his new connections and has every reason to improve.
