Race 1: CLAIMING HDCP $10,000 to $15,000 LT $100,000 Pick 5**

(7) HIGHMOON SUNSHINE dominated when she dropped back down to this level in her last start and if she replicates that effort, her rivals here are racing for second. (6) MISS ROCKADALI was closest to the choice at the wire and she is likely to work out another good following trip tonight; Exacta factor. (5) PRETTY HOT drops into a claimer and she is definitely worth a look for the exotics coming up tagged for the first time in several years. (4) SOPHIST beat easier when she was claimed off Moreau. I see her finishing on the edges here.

Race 2: NW $3,000 L5 or $7,000 L10

(4) SO NOT COOL faces much easier here following a good effort two classes higher and a more aggressive approach is expected here facing a field he should beat. (7) MAJOR MUSCLE was a winner last time he raced this low and he should be the main threat. (1) CANTABERNET fits better at this lowest conditioned level and he could improve enough to hit the board tonight. (5) SG GOLIATH KING closed well for a share last time.

Race 3: VALEDICTORY SERIES 1ST LEG 3 YEAR OLD COLTS & GELDINGS

(3) BEE TWO BEE has the best recent form in here and he should be tough to beat in the opening leg of this series. (7) SCOOTNROLL took heavy wagering action last week but he was doomed when he couldn't get a good start from the second tier. Sharp improvement here would be no surprise. (4) WINDEMERE FRANK moves inside for this second start for Auciello and he is another who should race better tonight; consider for the exotics. (8) BIG SIR rarely misses the top four; using on the bottom of the Super.

Race 4: F&M $15,000 CLAIMING for NW $50,000 LT Pick 4

In a race with no standouts, I'll take a swing with (3) WANNASHAKEYOURTREE based mainly on the barn change to Gallucci. This is a much better level for (1) KIT and she should recapture some good form here; using. (6) POWERED BY MACH is another who should improve on the class drop here and she's the third one that I'll use on multi-race tickets. (2) SOUTHWIND BAYOU gets Henry and a good post here and she should be in the exotics mix.

Race 5: F&M NW $8,700 L5 or $16,500 L10 AE: OPT CLM $18,000

(5) SPORTY TORI finally gets off the 9-hole and McClure should have her rolling early in this one; top call. (3) SPRINGBRIDGEVISION is in top form now and she will be a threat despite climbing one class level; using. (2) THIS DRAGON ROCKS was a winner last time she raced this low and she in another to consider in a race with several live options. (9) TWIN B TIPSTER would be rated higher from a better post. From out there I see her taking a small share.

Race 6: VALEDICTORY SERIES 1ST LEG 3 YEAR OLD COLTS & GELDINGS Pick 5

(8) BEYOND BETTER's current form is terrific and drawing the widest post should help boost his price; top call. (4) CAPTAIN VIDEO’s December 4th qualifier was excellent and he should be a threat here if he minds his manners this time. (3) WHAT THE LUCK and (2) MR KELLY are two interesting invaders that can make some noise in this series and have a decent shot in here.

Race 7: F&M 4YO and Younger NW2 or $25,000 LT

(4) FLOSSIE N got the job done vs. lesser in her local debut and I'll stick with her expecting her to be sharper tonight. (1) SOMEWHERE NORTH beat non-winners of three now she faces non-winners of two. She can be a threat despite missing time. (5) RUBY ON RAILS is an obvious threat on the class drop if she behaves tonight. (6) ADMITYOUREWRONG’s current form is solid and she should take a share after racing near the front throughout.

Race 8: 4YO and YOUNGER NW2 or $15,000 LT Pick 4

(2) WINDSUN AZAR was in a tough spot last week, trying to rally into a fast back 1/2. He can rebound here in a spot where he looks best. (10) BETTORS DONTTELL paced a big trip on the rim last time and he can be a threat here; using. (7) SOLARCTIC has a better chance getting his nose back on the gate to start and he is another to consider for late multi-race tickets. (6) HES SWIFT completely tripped out to shade easier. I'll use him on the bottom here.

Race 9: F&M NW $25,000 L5 or NW $175,000 LT AE: OPT CLM $60,000

(5) BETTER BE DONNA N was game in defeat last week and I'll take a swing with her expecting a good price in a wide-open race. (8) KENDALL SEELSTER was also right there and she is another who should offer a square price tonight, mostly due to drawing wide. (3) SWEET HEAVEN was wildly over bet last week and she was raced aggressively to no avail. What price will you accept tonight? (6) BESTSELLER HANOVER merits a look making her second start off a rest.

Race 10: F&M 5YO and Younger NW3 or $51,000 LT

(1) MAJOR BATTLE gets to face much easier tonight and she should be formidable in this spot. She is my late multi-race single. (3) GOLDEN LEADER figures to be the main threat coming out of the Harvest Series but I'm not sure she can handle the choice if that rival fires her best shot. (6) KAT will blast then follow and get the most she can as is typical for her; using underneath. (7) SMILING DIALING comes off an improved effort and I see her closing for another share.

Race 11: F&M NW $12,000 L5 or NW $31,000 L10 or NW 8 LT

(2) BETTOR TRIX N and McNair were sharp winners here one class lower two starts back and I see her working out a good trip racing near the front tonight; top call. (4) LYONS RIVER PRIDE has a much better chance tonight starting from an inside post and she is likely to offer a square price; using. (8) SLY ELEANOR N raced well last week but she was no match for the class-dropping winner down the lane. She fits well here and is in with a chance. (10) SEX APPEAL should pass a few of these late and land in the High-5. (7) MANHATTAN NIGHT beat the choice last week and she is worth a look for the bottom of the exotics.
