BEST BETS: 43 - 84 / $152.60 (-$15.40)

BEST BET: DEVILISH DREAMS (9^th)

SPOT PLAY: COWGIRL LILLY (2^nd)

Race 1: NW15000 in last 5 starts Trot

(1) ENOLA debuts for the Shane Tritton barn via claim and lands the rail with the hot Anthony Napolitano picking up the drive; only concern is the missed time as she hasn't started since August 29. (3) CRAZYLAND just missed two and three back against similar and his last effort can be excused; Engblom trainee is a major player. (2) I GET IT has had a solid season overall but hasn't done much since returning from a layoff.

Race 2: F&M NW5000 in last 5 starts Pace

(7) COWGIRL LILLY is winless for these connections for over a year after being claimed for $50K plus allowances but she's had some improved efforts recently and picks up fresh hands tonight in the aforementioned A Nap. I can see an aggressive try coming and will try her at what should be a good price. (2) PHELGON drops from $20K claimers and moves back inside where she's most effective. (4) AT THE HOP ships in from upstate NY and picks up the leading driver; we'll see if she's a good fit.

Race 3: NW7500 in last 5 starts Trot

(2) ENERGYSOURCE drops and gets much-needed post relief for the tandem of Lance Hudson and A Nap teamed up for three wins the other night. (6) NO MORE SWEETS has shown little in four starts after arriving from Ohio but he goes second-time Lasix here for good connections. (1) YOU GOT IT returns locally and raced well here in a couple of starts back in August, albeit against softer. Four-year-old can land a share with a smooth trip.

Race 4: NW11176 in last 5 starts Trot

(1) HAND DOVER DAN has certainly found his stride over at Pocono and returns here in a favorable spot for Hudson/Napolitano. Can A Nap go four-for-four to start the card? On paper it certainly is possible. (6) BEACON BEACH moved to the Bongiorno barn three back and has two wins and a third. He's got speed and has been well-mannered; must-use. (2) QUIKSILVR BLUECHIP is not a prolific winner at 4 for 54 over the last two years but he figures to be sitting close to the front and can land a piece.

Race 5: F&M NW10061 in last 5 starts Pace

(6) OKINAWA BEACH A has been steadily improving and seems to be inching closer and closer to that elusive win. It could happen if she gets away from the gate quickly enough to make the front or sit a pocket. (1) LADYCORONA steps up again looking for a fourth straight; Lachance mare will undoubtedly have to go faster than she has in her last couple. (2) WHASSUP HANOVER faces softer here and the three-year-old filly has shown talent with $100K earned this season; she was a good second three back.

Race 6: F&M NW16321 in last 5 starts Pace

(4) CHERYLS SHADOW and (2) FRONT PAGE STORY are a good matchup of speedy mares who have consistently been in good form throughout the season. #4 the Dilloian, Jr trainee may have a bit more versatility. (3) EASY TO PLEASE moves in a few slots and figures to be chasing from midpack. Stratton trainee should be moving forward late.

Race 7: F&M NW30000 in last 5 starts Pace

(6) LLOYD'S LOVES has been a hard-to-believe story this year with 17 wins for the unlikely hookup of trainer Garcia-Herrera and catch driver Steve Smith. I'll keep her on top until she loses at this level. (4) LUCKY ARTIST A is as classy as they come; Bartlett drives tonight. (5) LIT DE ROSE has been unable to run down the top one the last couple of weeks but the Matchmaker champ is always capable thus is impossible to toss off the ticket.

Race 8: F&M NW7821 in last 5 starts Pace

(1) GOT SEXY SCARS just missed from the seven hole at a big price last week facing similar and prior to that race she had been up against better; now she moves all the way inside making her a big player. (2) ROCKN PHILLY didn't fire last start but she's better than that and goes back to Holland, who has hit the board with her the last two times he drove. (6) CELIA B MONEY was a good second in last and that was a much-improved effort.

Race 9: F&M NW5191 in last 5 starts Pace

(3) DEVILISH DREAMS had pace from the eight hole in her debut at this level but she simply could not reach. Recent addition to the Bongiorno barn gets post relief in search of her first seasonal win. (1) MC ANGEL raced well versus a notch higher last week; logical. (8) MISS DOTTIE MAE would be one of the top choices in here had she not drawn the worst post; mare has early speed so does Holland try blasting?

Race 10: NW7500 in last 5 starts Trot

(2) P L OSCAR has a class edge on many of these with his $75K in earnings this year and he is coming off an improved effort. Not a whole lot going on in this field so maybe the Bucci trainee has found the right spot. (1) FULL RIGHTS was the pick last week but was a bit short on the engine. Expect speed again from the rail. (4) SWEET SOUL DAVID drops in class but with little current form. Post relief obviously helps.
