Race 1 - GSY Series/10000CLM/TrackMaster Rating 74 or Less as of 11/3/20 Pace

(5) MCNULTY Z TAM was loaded in the pocket two Fridays ago and had zero room. I'll look for a smoother trip here. (3) GOOD DAY MATE closed well last week after shaking loose and continues to move inside on the gate this time. (4) TAILGUNNER HANOVER qualified pretty well and won at this level earlier this year. I think he has a good racing style for the amateur events, too, since he likes to rally.

Race 2 - NW2500L5 / NW of a Race in 2020 With 15 or More Starts Pace

(4) GRIFFON HANOVER finally draws a good post here and shows two straight 26 3/5 final quarters. (2) THESPYWHOLOVEDME also moves inside this time and gets a little class relief as well. Watch for him to be closer to the action like when he was second a couple times versus NW5000L5's at Yonkers. (3) BIG BAD BILL was third against NW4500L5's when last seen at the Meadowlands and probably lands in an easier spot here than the NW5000L5's at Yonkers.

Race 3 - NW4500L5/TrackMaster Rating 78 or Less as of 11-3-20/Winners of NW3500 L5 Starts or Less/15000CLM Trot

(1) SPECTRE has won at the Meadowlands before and enters off a win at Pocono. He also has a barn change to consider with Justin Sodano taking over. (2) SUPER SCHISSEL rallied but ran out of racetrack last Friday. It was still a quality effort, and he remains in the same class here. (5) MAGIC VACATION beat $15,000 claimers and $25,000 claimers in September at Pocono but then went off form. I'll include in the hopes he can bounce back.

Race 4 - NW2/25000LT / NW3/30000LT, NW Last 3 Starts Trot

(3) MARVELOUSTRIX defeated NW2's back on 10-2 and does draw an improved post here. I'll hope she offers some value since she usually races from so far behind. (7) ALYVIA DEO scored over NW3's at Harrah's Philadelphia on the 22nd of October but then made a break in a subsequent effort. Hopefully she minds her manners this time. (9) COCONUT KATE showed some determination last Thursday by taking the lead in the lane despite being parked throughout. She had a pair of runner-up performances prior to that, so I think she has some form.

Race 5 - NW2500L5/TrackMaster Rating 75 or Less as of 11-3-20/10000CLM Trot

(6) CYCLONE MAXIMUS drops to the bottom level tonight and did have trot in the lane against better last Friday. (4) BROADWAY PROMISE came to life a week ago with a determined effort and took his life's mark at the Meadowlands. (8) TRIXIE DUST lost all chance last time out when she hooked wheels with a rival early. Her prior start against the in-form Chiplosive was good, and she should be rallying.

Race 6 - F&M NW4 or 50000LT/NW7500L5/TrackMaster Rating 81.5 or Less as of 11-3-20/NW6 or 75000LT Drawn Outside Pace

(2) GRANT ME THIS doesn't really like to win given her one-for-26 record, but this is a softer spot than she was in recently at Yonkers, and she was on an extended run of on-the-board finishes prior to her last race. (7) ALEXA SKYE steps up tonight after beating NW4500L5's on Halloween. That was a nice win since she was two-wide at every call and still delivered, and she didn't appear overmatched against these on 10-16 or 10-24. (9) FIREFLY picked up a runner-up finish in a Simpson division at Harrah's Philadelphia and then was second again against NW5's after that. This is a tough post, but I think she's usable.

Race 7 - NW2500L5/TrackMaster Rating 73 or Less as of 11-3-20 Pace

(2) ALWAYSALITTLEMORE might be capable of showing more tonight in her second start in from Minnesota. That was a pretty tough group she faced on 10-24, but this could be more to her liking. (3) ENDURING HOPE raced well behind a runaway winner last Thursday after having excess cover. (6) CHASE YOU paced a 27 3/5 final quarter in her second start for Auciello against NW4500L5's on October 31 and lands at the bottom level tonight.

Race 8 - TrackMaster Rating 73 or Less as of 11-3-20 Pace

(7) MAJOR JESSE hit the board in both tries against in-form foes in Ruthless Dude and Shattered Glass in his last two appearances and meets up with a group he can beat with another effort like those. (5) THUNDER DOME prevailed at this level back in early October and did finish with a good final quarter after getting shuffled most recently. (1) OUR ART AND HEAVEN moves from post ten to the pole position this time, and I do think he merits inclusion in tris and supers.

Race 9 - NW14000L5/TrackMaster Rating 86 or Less as of 11-3-20/NW8 Trot

(5) HL REVADON ran into the classy JL Cruze last Friday but did well, finishing second to him. This is another pretty stout field tonight, but I like how he's been racing and will put on top. (4) WARRIOR ONE just missed in the corresponding class to this one over at Harrah's Philadelphia last time and won several times at the Meadowlands earlier this year. (3) TROLLEY stayed flat a week ago and finished up nicely, too. He might be ready for a more aggressive approach tonight.

Race 10 - F&M NW4500L5/TrackMaster Rating 78.5 or Less as of 11-3-20/15000CLM Pace

(4) J ROCKIN B starts from a much better post than she had on 10-31, and I keep waiting for them to give this mare a more aggressive try like when she won at Pocono. Maybe it'll come here. (7) EDEN PAIGE N didn't have the best of trips in that last start as she had to go three-wide to get around a stalled rival and then ended up first-over. Any better journey here would boost her chances. (8) LADY DRIVER gets what looks like some class relief from the NW7000L5 and NW7500L5 groups she met up with at Harrah's Philadelphia and Yonkers, and that might get her going in the right direction.

Race 11 - NW7500L5/TrackMaster Rating 81 or Less as of 11-3-20/20000CLM Trot

(3) LASA DIDA LADY is capable of turning it around when she meets up with fields like this one that are fairly wide-open, and though she usually doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, I will give her a chance. (5) LIFETIME ROYALTY has been threatening in this NW7500L5 class in the last few weeks, and I do think this is the softest bunch he's faced. (4) INFINITI AS returns to the Meadowlands after a confidence-building win over NW4000L5's at Harrah's Philadelphia. He did trot home in 27 3/5 to finish fourth at this level here on 10-16.

Race 12 - NW2500L5/TrackMaster Rating 75 or Less as of 11-3-20/10000CLM Trot

(8) HALLANET stunned at 61-1 when he raced against a group like this on 10-16, and why not see if history can repeat itself? (6) SHADY MCCOY is winless in 2020 but looks sort of like the one to beat in here given he's picked up checks in his last five efforts. (2) SB FINE AND DANDY hasn't won in the last two years but was second and fourth against the TrackMaster Rating 75 or Less groups at Freehold since coming east from Minnesota.
