BEST BET-DRIBBLING BI (6th)

SPOT PLAY-STACKING GREEN (5th)

Race 1 - 3-6YO 20000CLM Pace

(3) ALL MY LOVIN finds what should be a softer spot than what he's been in since he came down from Canada, he moves in from post eight to the three-hole and gets Bartlett in the bike for a high-percentage stable. (1) JK STEVES SPIRIT had nothing to offer most recently but was racing well both here and in Maryland prior to that. He shifts in on the gate from post eight to the pole position, gets a driver switch to Gingras and drops a notch from the 3-6YO $30,000 claimers to the $20,000 level. (2) OVER THE HORIZON is on an extended run of on-the-board finishes and was Brent Holland's choice from another inside post.

Race 2 - F&M 20000CLM Pace

(1) IDEALINFUN returns to action here off a brief hiatus. She won two in-a-row at this level in June and qualified sharply at Pocono last Wednesday. (7) FIGHT NOT FLIGHT debuts for new connections off a claim and comes in with back-to-back victories. Bartlett gets the call as well. (2) PINE BUSH MAGA was on a good run of on-the-board results prior to being derailed by back-to-back eight-holes. She moves in on the gate tonight, and I'll toss her in underneath.

Race 3 - Invitational Trot

Just take the 1-9 on (5) ANTOGNONI S and move on. He won handily at this level twice in June and the same thing should happen here. (3) ASTEROID owns a win in the Invitational Trot back in early June and returns off a third in the top class at Harrah's Philadelphia. (2) SIR PINOCCHIO was second in the Invitational to my top selection on the 25th of June and got the nod from Bartlett over another one in this contest.

Race 4 - F&M Invitational Trot

(5) MONI BUYS HAPPYNES goes right into the deep end of the pool in her first outing for the track's leading stable, but her form out of town is sharp and new co-owner Gingras going in the bike should be a positive as well. (4) HOT FLASH KIMMY has a win and a third in her last two tries and was also third the last time she raced in this class on 6-11. (7) ALWAYS A STORY starts from the outside but owns several good results in this class, including a victory on 5-28, and lured Jordan Stratton off one his brother trains in HOT FLASH KIMMY.

Race 5 - 40000CLM Trot

(2) STACKING GREEN is on a four-race run of finishes in the trifecta, including back-to-back thirds from post seven. He moves in on the gate here, gets a driver change to Scott Zeron and did defeat $40,000 claimers back on May 14. (4) WILLY WALTON put it all together to find the winner's circle for the first time in 2026 last Thursday. He could be even sharper tonight since he should have picked up some confidence and that was his first start in almost a month. (6) BELLISSIMO FACE S was second in the race won by WILLY WALTON a week ago and is a second-timer after a layoff for the track's leading driver/trainer combo.

Race 6 - NW20000L5 / Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW15000L5 / NW10 PM Races LT Trot

(1) DRIBBLING BI won handily the last time he raced in this class on June 4 and exits the top level down at Harrah's Philadelphia. (2) MISSISSIPPI STORM is stepping up the ladder tonight but is doing so off a win and getting post relief. He does show a victory against NW20000L5s on 6-11 also. (3) THE BRODSTER moves in a couple of notches on the gate and gets Bartlett back at the controls tonight. The last time he drove, the horse finished a gaining third at this level.

Race 7 - 30000CLM Pace

I'll give (2) YOROKOBI N another shot here as he had pace on the end of his mile after he had some traffic issues and he had to fan out wide on the far turn last Thursday. (1) HEAVEN ON HIGH N has finished second in six of his last seven tries, and that's where I'll slot him again as he makes his second start for these connections and has Bartlett to drive again. (6) EVER M saw his win streak end in his last try on 7-20, but he did hit the board again, and now he's back in the stable he won handily out of back on June 17.

Race 8 - NW20951L5 / Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW15000L5 / NW10 PM Races LT Trot

(5) WHEELZABLAZIN came up empty last week but his prior two wins, including one in this class, were strong. He gets post relief and reunited with Jordan Stratton tonight. (1) TORRONE drew an inside post here for the first time since May 22 and he overcame the eight-hole to finish second and this level two back. (3) HIGH SPEED SWAN saw his streak of on-the-board results come to an end when last seen on 7-9 but slides in on the gate from the seven-hole to post three and gets Bartlett back in the bike.

Race 9 - 40000CLM Trot

(1) BEACON BEACH loomed from first-over last turn but then lost all chance when he made a break. He moves back to the pole position here and reunites with Austin Siegelman, who steered him to a victory on 7-9. (5) KAYS IN CHARGE is on a five-race streak of finishes in the exacta and has Gingras to drive for the first time since he won with him on June 25. (2) AQUARIUS FACE S should have picked up confidence with a handy win over NW7500L5s most recently and has Bartlett to drive from an improved post tonight.

Race 10 - 15000CLM Pace

(1) GREAT SOMEWHERE drops and moves in on the gate from post eight to the pole position. Add in a couple of recent thirds against tougher $25,000 and $20,000 claimers, and I'll give him the nod. (3) J B GRAM makes his second start off the shelf from a much-improved post and had some traffic trouble in his fourth-place effort last Thursday. (4) MINOTAUR owns a couple of recent victories over $20,000 claimers in his lines and gets a class drop/post relief combo in this event.
