Race 2) nw 17,500
(1) THE PREACHER PAN beaten favorite faded late after tough trip, 3rd start back and should be primed from the rail (3) JOHN ADAMS overmatched off scratch sick in Four Leaf Clover leg, still closed in 26.4 (4) TWOFOR EIGHT in sharp form can handle the class hike (7) NUCLEAR BREEZE watch list horse was parked mile in fast fractions, held well

Race 3) 50,000 CL

Race 4) 30,000 CL

Race 5) wo 25,000 LT (D)
(1) QUALITY WESTERN goes into the Norman barn, which has had a good week, and reunited with Miller searching for some consistency (5) RARE JEWEL parked past the quarter, pressured, held rather well in improved effort (3) ROB ROY MATTGREGOR sharp last two but would like better if race was not from D-barn
(6) ALLSTAR BLUE JEAN steps up in surreal form, closed sharply again off hotly contested last half

Race 6) Four Leaf Clover – FINAL (D)
(2) SILVA ENTRY - JENNAS CHOICE finally lost one content to sit the careful pocket trip following Shu Hanover with no pressure to win – FLORIDA BOY closed well 4th over in 26.4
(6) HOP SING beaten favorite in both legs was pressed hard after quarter brush and held gamely, odds may be inviting (9) PACIFIC RENEGADE again offered sharp pace on both ends but not sure on what Gingras strategy will be (1) RUCKER ENTRY- again should offer good value - SHU HANOVER sharp effort with some equipment changes

Race 7) nw 25,000 (D)
(2) DELIVER THE GOODS offered sharp late pace in 26.2, may be on the move early (8) LANDMARK HALL like many were (including us) a week early with him as he scored with nice trip, Brennan’s choice of 3 and can string a few (1) TARVER HANOVER steps up in sharp form off lifetime best, brushed past quarter then pressured in fast 3rd quarter (10) KING SANDS N continues to draw poorly and one of these weeks will have to have an easy one, Andy Miller takes the #6 but continues in good form, your call

Race 8) 60,000-75,000 CLHC
(5) EYES ON KASSA pulled pocket and got parked out in fast 3rd quarter and fast last half and held very well, goes for good 1st time trainer (3) STOCK MARKET WIZ gets away from another monster, his night to shine but wont be easy (4) BLISSED OUT ambitiously placed in the Four Leaf Clover Series, scored at big odds off pocket trip last time with Smith (9) AMERICAN FURY didn’t qualify for 4 Leaf Clover Final but should be trouble for these

Race 11) 30,000 CL
(9) TALK FOREVER claimed and stepped up by Ledford after offering sharp pace on both ends
(1) FRANCO SEQUEL N Brennan’s choice of 3 tripped his way to victory on the drops, should be close from the rail (6) ARMBRO AIRBORNE drops from tough conditioned race and gets Sears (4) MONTAUK has been in good form for over a month and Lachance should look to fire him out

Race 12) nw 17,750
(1) MIRACLE MAN N was our big play along with others and got parked in some fast fractions and held rather well, another shot (8) GLITTERING BEACHES no factor in the Four Leaf Clover, impressive in previous start in this class (6) CAM’S PRIMETIME and (7) WESTERN PRINCE are both watch list horses from same race both closing in 27.0 in fast last quarter
