Race 1
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: A DREAM SO REAL
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: ELEGANT NOELLE
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: HEART THROB KID
Odds: 6-1
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: ARDENT
Odds: 7-2
Race 1 Comments: A DREAM SO REAL has had tough trips against faster fields in recent. Gets the pole in short field and can control it.
Race 2
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: THE SURREAL THING
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: OPT OUT
Odds: 9-2
Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: BULLVILLE FRANK
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: SHAMELESS ART
Odds: 8-1
Race 2 Comments: In a field that lost their last race by a combined 148 lengths, THE SURREAL THING was closer to the winner by far than any in here and looks like my best guess in a real head scratcher. OPT OUT makes career debut out of some sizzling Pocono qualifiers and obviously has a shot for barn that’s developed many good ones over the decades.
Race 3
Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: PROUDAMERICANGIRL**
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: HARDWARE PRINCESS
Odds: 5-2

Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: TENWILLGETUTWENTY
Odds: 9-2
Race 3 Comments: PROUDAMERICANGIRL was parked the mile in the slop before understandably weakening. May be on edge in third try at reduced level.
Race 4
Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: TRIBAL SPORT*
Odds: 9-2
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: NO FILTER
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 2

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: JOSE
Odds: 5-2
Race 4 Comments: TRIBAL STORM had 8-hole and was far back early, paced a :58.2 final half in the slop making up a ton of ground to nail show in much improved try. Draws another tough slot but can roll by late with any more improvement.
Race 5
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: CARTERS CAPER
Odds: 7-2
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: MACHTU N
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 1

Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: AMERICAN ISLAND
Odds: 5-1
Race 5 Comments: CARTERS CAPER made a :56 middle half brush to the top, just failed to hold off pocket sitter late. Steps up off the effort but has beaten this type in the past and gets the nod.
