RACE EIGHT
MELTON LUCKY (5) was far from it last start, securing what looked to be the perfect trail, only to have his chances evaporate before the home turn. Stuck behind a white-flag waving leader, he was left to finish midfield. Grabbed late the start prior, with a rub of the green this week, this is within reach.
CALCULATED RISK (9) faces a tricky task from this alley, but this race looks an open event. Claiming the bronze in a Trot Rods heat 2 starts back, she could not get into the contest last start when down the line behind MANOFLISA. With the right cart into this, she can challenge.
MIDNIGHT QUEEN (8) eased from a wide gate in a Trot Rods heat 2 runs back and saved for the closing shot was charging home to be within a half-head. She may just be better suited to that pattern and charging late here is in the mix.
CARIBBEAN ROCKET (2) faded last start in a race claimed by CAPTAINS PICK to trail in the field. @nd up from a freshen in that event, he has the gate to settle handy to the action and this looks more suitable.
