Race 10 (3:45 PM EDT)

6-True Seelster (9/2)-This will be the 4th start for the Yoder barn and seemed to be handled cautiously except in the last outing. Will fade the morning line chalk #3 and rely on Ronnie Wrenn to leave to get a close-up seat and to be in the mix at the wire.
7-Chikaboo (7/2)-Doesn't have the tactical speed that would make things easier. Came 1st over last week and raced gamely but was no match for the one below. This race could set up differently as #2 and #3 should be blasting out and maybe this time Dave Palone won't have to come 1st over.
8-Need Ur Opinion (9/2)-Comes off a big effort to take control and after being parked the opening 5/16. Leaving from the 8-hole could halt the 2-race win streak. But stood tall down the lane in such confident fashion it's best to not overlook.

Race 11 (4:05 PM EDT)

2-Flo Jo Hanover (2-1)-Raced from the backfield in the 1st start since 8-23 and did pace the back half in .57. Will look for a more aggressive steer in a race without a lot of gate speed. Spencer Kahrig could get the top and not look back in the 2nd start on Lasix.
7-Bettor Answer (4-1)-Raced evenly in its 2nd lifetime start staying inside in a quick mile of 155.3. Finished 3rd missing by 2 lengths with a 28.3 last quarter. Might be overlooked with this post draw and did gain a little ground down the lane. Could be a player with a smooth trip if steps up off the last race.

Race 12 (4:25 PM EDT)

2-Rising MVP (9/5)-Wrenn takes the lines as usual pilot Aaron Merriman is not listed to drive in this race. The veteran meets a beatable field, but the short price isn't easy to swallow. Should get a cozy trip and can have his way with this crew with a top effort.

Race 13 (4:45 PM EDT)

5-D'Applesrsweet (7/2)-Raced big from post 7, worked hard to get the top and was hung the opening 3/16. Did get on the point but faded down the lane to finish 2nd. Looking for a more efficient journey to get on the engine, then to be rated better. If those two things happen it should be picture time.
