Friday -- Entries
Race 2
Horse: True Reflection

“She moves up in class, but has been racing well as of late. Will need to work out a trip for her in here.“
Race 4
Horse: Putmeintogo
Trainer: Barry Drury
Morning Line: 5-2
“She hasn't raced since December 19, but qualified really well last week. She has lots of speed and can race any way. She should be tough in this field.”
Race 6
Horse: Lady Valentine
Trainer: Chantal Mitchell
Morning Line: 4-1
“She raced well last week in her Woodbine debut. We got room late in the lane and had lots of pace. She has good gate speed and draws the rail. Should be able to get situated close early.”
Race 10
Horse: Laneside Lexus
Trainer: Corey Johnson
Morning Line: 9-2
“She has been very good her last two starts. She is a big mare with lots of speed and will give you everything she's got with a good trip.”
Race 11
Horse: Precious Cammill
Trainer: Shawn Robinson
Morning Line: 12-1
“She is kind of an off and on type mare. If she races to her potential she can handle these ones.”
Saturday -- Entries
Race 5
Horse: Mo Debra
Trainer: Tom Riley
Morning Line: 6-1
“He moved out of a claiming ranks and into a condition race tonight. He raced huge last week after missing a month. Should be tighter this week and can close up strong.”
Race 6
Horse: World Away
Trainer: Des Tackoor
Morning Line: 10-1
“He was locked in his last two starts and closed up strong when finding room up the inside late both times. He's back in the same class tonight and has a big shot.“
Race 7
Horse: DJ Lance
Trainer: Joe Pereira
Morning Line: 10-1
“It’s his third start back after a long break. He gets some class relief here and draws a much better post. Can race on the front or off a trip.“
Race 9
Horse: Mopey Corey
Trainer: Tom Riley
Morning Line: 10-1
“He has been racing awesome. He got used hard to the quarter last week then was locked in and didn't get room until it was far too late. Has great gate speed and should be a factor in here.“
Race 11
Horse: Pouvoir Duharas
Trainer: Eric Cote
Morning Line: 9-2
“He drops down in class here and draws a better post. He is a trip horse and always gives you a good kick home off a helmet.”
