Race 9 (8:56 PM CST)

8-Fifty Rivers (7/2)-Left from the 7-hole last week and rallied from the backfield with a 56.1 back half to finish a close 2nd. The outing wasn't typical, usually is racing on the point once the wings fold. This time comes back in sequence and will look for an aggressive steer from the word-Go. The 2nd program chalk should offer a fair price, and its Aces record is difficult to ignore (7-3-2-2).

Race 11 (9:40 PM CST)

1-Banker's Grace (9/2)-The 5-year-old likes to get on the engine or race close to the lead. She wins off that kind of trip and having the rail should help execute that plan. Gets needed post relief, fits, and this is the level where a picture can happen at a square price.

Race 12 (10:02 PM CST)

2-Fox Valley Ozzy (4-1)-Ozzy has been leaving from the outside against tougher and can't win that way. Tonight, starts from a comfortable level where a win could happen. Gets an inside post draw so Gary Rath can find some live cover and push the button at the right time.
