Breakdown:

Race 11: We hit the ALL button in the first leg as many of the trotters can score here.  #4 ROMPAWAY GALAXY is my top selection coming off a tough losing effort where he had to make up a lot of ground.  He has been known to show speed before and I look for him to be tough this week.

Race 12: #3 HOLLYROCK HEYDEN steps up in class this week following a very game, winning effort last week where he went to the lead and never looked back.  The trainer picks up the driving duties of this very versatile gelding.  #7 UNCLE REIMUS will be really tough this week, the biggest question is the post-position towards the outside.  Jason Merriman gets the drive again this week on a gelding that has been pretty consistent.

Race 13: #1 STEALTH BOMBER draws the inside tonight following a strong effort last week from post seven.  He has the speed to make the lead and if he can ration out the fractions he could score at a short price.  #4 UNLOCKED picks up the services of Chris Page again after being parked the mile last week.  He gets some much-needed post relief which could bring him some improvement.

Race 14: #3 LADY JUSTICE draws the inside this week following a couple of tough efforts from the outside.  She has a good amount of early contentious speed which I would expect would allow her to be close to the pace.  Look for a strong effort.
