Best Bet: HEADFORTHEBEACH (1st) Spot Play: TWENTY THREE RED (5th) MEET STATS: 4 - 23 / $43.40 BEST BETS: 0 - 2 / $00.00 Race 1 (1) HEADFORTHEBEACH gets serious post relief and he did flash good speed two trips ago; the pick. (2) SCARLET CHASER was very game in his latest and he appears to be a threat in here. (6) BARRYS SHELBY will need a better trip than in his last start; possible. Race 2 (3) IRA CHIEF leaves door number eight for the 3-hole. Gelding can take this with a well judged drive. (1) ARDIE B SPEED is knocking at the door based on his last two trips. (5) NATURAL LEDA showed signs of life last out and it's good to see Brennan keeping the faith; watch out. Race 3 (2) YO CHEYENNE ROCKY Two fine efforts at the Meadowlands could put this gelding right back into the winner's circle; gets the call. (5) IDEAL SON was third best in his Meadowlands finale; player. (1) DEDIS DRAGON Ohio invader draws the pole position and clearly he is not out of this. Race 4 (5) CAPOZZO was very wide from his outside post, but he went flat turning for home in his latest. Seven year old fits well in here and if he gets a perfect trip he can greet the cameraman for pictures. (4) BETTORS GLASS did not fire in his last two starts but this veteran did win at this level on 12/5; dangerous. (2) SPORTS LIGHTNING moves back downstate with a good post and Bartlett has the assignment; don't overlook. Race 5 (3) TWENTY THREE RED drops a notch in class and she gets the services of Brennan; at her best she can top these. (1) SUDDEN CHANGE N raced evenly in her last try and she retains the fence; contender. (2) MOSQUITO BLUE CHIP was second best as the chalk last out and she does fit well in here; beware. Race 6 (3) MACS SECURE did not fire in her last start. Mare does know how to get the job done at the Hilltop so with that said a favorable trip could bring her back into the winner's circle. (1) JAZZY IMAGE took over the lead turning for home but was nailed for win honors last time around; big factor. (2) SET ME UP gets post relief and that might help her cause; we shall see. Race 7 (4) DEUCES FOR CHARITY Mare will need a better trip than in her last outing but she does have tactical speed so if the right trip comes her way she can make tonight a winning one. (3) NEON SKY N put in a good effort for the placing last time out; major player. (2) GIVEMEYOURHEART tried in the stretch run recently but she is capable a making a quick turnaround; watch out. Race 8 (5) MARVALOUS JET gets out of the 8-hole and Bartlett returns in the bike where he and this five year old miss got the job done here on 12/5; gets the call. (3) LKS NANCY LEE finally leaves the far outside spot and Brennan sticks with her; threat. (1) AMERICANGIRLFRIEND moves back inside where this gal has had the most success; clearly not out of this. Race 9 (3) NEWBIE stays in same company but now he moves to the 3-hole and Bartlett is at the controls; ready to take these to task. (2) CAVIART SKYLER draws back inside and that could help his cause; maybe. (6) BB'S HARLEY did show signs of life last time out so he must be respected in this event. Race 10 (4) DOCTOR BUTCH Eight year old seems to be the speed of the speed and gets a cozy post in hopes of bossing these down the road. (1) SAMMY THE BULL N should be right in the mix from the pole position. (3) FAMEOUS WESTERN just missed glory by a neck last time around; solid contender. Race 11 (4) TRADING UP was dull at odds on at the Big M last out. Gelding seems to fits well against these and he does have good early pace so if he is at his best, he can get the job done. (5) WAVES OF FIRE A came close to a victory last week missing by a half a length; dangerous. (7) DREAM OF LUCK has wheeled off two straight victories; post hurts tonight but the gelding is capable so watch out. [DRF HARNESS NEWSLETTER: Sign Up for the FREE DRF Harness Newsletter.
