Race 1: F&M NW2 or $46,000 LT **Gtd. $100,000 Pick 5*
(4) BETTINA HANOVER drops, figures to improve sharply in this spot, and she gets top billing. (2) TIJUANA SEELSTER was 2nd to a razor-sharp mare last week in a decent effort. She should be a threat tonight. (6) BRASH LADY made a good late charge after breaking early last week. She can be right there with these if she behaves tonight. (1) BELLA CAVALLA can sit a trip and take a small share here.

Race 2: F&M 5YO and Younger NW1 or $7,500 LT
(4) ELISES DELIGHT and (6) SOME CAMEO started 1-2 last week but ended up chasing the 6-5 chalk home after that rival took over command on the backstretch. These two should battle for the win here. Nod to the former who went the better trip in my opinion. (1) TWO ACROSS MARION's debut was decent and she can close for a share tonight. (3) APPLE OF MY PIE is worth a look getting the "first time McNair" angle.

Race 3: F&M 5YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT
(5) DAISY DAY raced well from a wide post and now she draws best while picking up the leading driver; top call. (6) MISSYS A SECRET trotted her best mile last week and she figures to be a threat here. (7) MOMENT IN THE SUN should close to take a good share vs. this field. (2) MONI ELLEN took some action on debut, but she blew up before the start. She will need a clean line here so she will likely be carefully driven; using underneath.
Race 4: F&M CLM HDCP $12,000 to $15,000 Pick 4
(9) CLODAM BAYAMA got embroiled in a speed battle in the third 1/4 last week which perfectly set the race up for following rival (6) REYS N A ROCKET. I'll give the nod to the former who was claimed out of that race by Auciello. (8) SUNSHINEINMYPOCKET lost the battle with the choice last week, but she hung around for a share and she should be in the exotics mix. (5) GREYSTONE TREASURE steps up off the claim and she should find these tougher. I'll use her on the bottom.
Race 5: F&M Claiming $7,000 for NW $3,250 L5
(1) SHES A GUNSLINGER was well-positioned last week racing against $8K claimers but the late pace was too fast for her. She is in much easier tonight and she gets top billing making her second start racing off the Cullen claim. (8) WOODMERE STELLA left for position and rallied late to beat the choice after taking a mid-race shuffle. She should be the main threat here. (6) STARGAZING CRUISER has improved recently and she is worth a look getting McNair tonight. (5) HANNAH ON THE VIRG exits the same race as the choice and she can be an exotics factor vs. these.
Race 6: 5YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 Pick 5
(3) BUSY MAKING MONI was flying late in his second start. He can beat these if he gets put into the race earlier. (5) CRYSTAL BALLER came ready for action in his sophomore debut and he should be a threat right back. (6) THELEGENDCONTINUES flashed speed before making an equipment break and he could share here if he stays trotting. (10) FASTNET ROCK can close for anther small share.
Race 7: CLM HDCP $7,000 to $8,000 Pick 4
(3) POINTTO SWEET LOU was very good in defeat last week and he gets top billing tonight. (2) R BAZINGGA can improve enough in this second start for Auciello to be a threat and he will likely get an easier trip here. (8) THE LEGEND HANOVER will likely be raced aggressively again and take a share. (7) TAKE THE DEAL should be better tonight. Give him a look for the bottom of the exotics.
Race 8: 5YO and Younger NW2 (F&M3) or $20,000 LT
(3) DUSTIN HANOVER won last time he faced NW2 and he stacks up well vs. these; top call. (1) R HOT TODDY likely would have won last week had he not ran out of racetrack. He figures to be right there again. (2) DOWNSTAIRS PARTY hasn't missed the board yet this year and new daddy Young will put him into play. He should take another share here. (7) GIVE ME KARETS K will likely close from far back for a share again.

Race 9: Claiming $7,000 for NW $3,150 L5
(5) BLUEMOON BAYAMA likely drops and pops facing much easier here. (6) ARTISTIC PICK should be coming late again, and he will probably be the one that the choice needs to fend off. (8) MISTER REBBILY A gets Lasix and McNair racing off the McQueen claim and he could improve sharply here; using. (3) EAST BOUND EDDIE likely sits a trip racing near the front and takes a share here.
Race 10: F&M CLM HDCP $7,000 to $9,000
(7) JMR MACH MEL would have won if she found her way out of a traffic jam sooner last week and she gets top billing here racing off the Bourassa claim. (2) E R RHONDA races off the Fellows claim and she keeps McNair, who drives her best. She should be a threat tonight. (8) LATTE SEELSTER raced well in defeat and she should flash speed again and stay for a share. (3) CENTURY GEORGIA raced well in defeat, but the late pace was slow. I'll use her underneath. (4) SOUTHERN MEMORIES should close for another smaller share here.
