(2) J D’s Turismo is not in the best of form, but drops in class. (7) Whiteascanbe. Look for him to be closing late. Race 9: (3) Lucca’s Revenge tries to lead the field from start to finish. (7) Master Wheels drops in class. Race 10: (3) Southview Don. Field looks to be at his mercy. Race 11: (5) Rose Run Leah tries to make her Cleveland debut a winning one. (9) Blueridge Tornado. Big effort from the outside post at Delaware, should be closer tonight.
