Race 1 Comments: WILD WEST drops to winning level off a game uncovered try against tougher. Looks best in opener. CHIEF OF STAFF has been racing well despite tough trips in recent. Draws outside but figures to be close with any kind of trip.

Odds: 9-2
Race 2 Comments: ROCKAHOLIC had no shot trying to rally off slow early fractions, went wide and failed to gain at 4-5. Deserves another chance in second try at reduced level. BLUE LINE hasn’t been this low in a long while and will be hard to beat.

Odds: 7-2
Race 5 Comments: BETTOR’S WESTERN was used twice from 8-hole, held well for show through :59.3 final half. Drops off that effort, moves inside and looks like tough chalk.

Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: SKYWAY BALLET
Odds: 4-1
Race 8 Comments: WAR DRUMS has been a money burner at the windows in recent but comes off a long uncovered grind against weaker just failing by a neck in ultra game try. Meets tougher off that effort but looks worth a shot at better price.
