BEST BETS: 62 - 105 / $230.20 (+$20.20)

Best Bet: PURE COTTON (5th)

Spot Play: ODDS ON OSIRIS (2nd)

Race 1: NW5000 in last 5 starts Pace

(2) ROLL WITH ME is one of a couple of Ohio shippers in here and while this gelding has zero earned in his last five starts overall he's had a good season and the change in scenery could help in a big way. (3) CHIEFS BEACH was facing much better recently and should appreciate the drop in class. (5) PONDERINGJACKSFAME also invades from the Buckeye state and joins the Jenn Bongiorno barn. He does like to win as evidenced by his 10 for 32 record this year.

Race 2: NW20000 in last 5 starts Pace

(2) ODDS ON OSIRIS never got involved upon arrival for Burke but he finds a much better spot tonight and figures to be more aggressively handled. (3) GENIUS MAN is proven with this type and should come away with a big share. (1) CAN B PERFECT pulled up with broken equipment last week and he's right back in to go, from the innermost post; Holland's back driving.

Race 3: NW7500 in last 5 starts Pace

(2) DELIGHTFUL TERROR woke up last week with the drop in class and he draws well again; Gillis trainee seems overdue. (1) ROCKATHON threw in one of his breaks last start and lost all chance; assuming he minds his manners tonight he's a major speed threat from the rail. (6) ROCKIN JUKEBOX steps up a notch off a confidence-building win.

Race 4: NW10000 in last 5 starts Pace

(1) GINGRAS BEACH was a good second to the well-rated winner last week and though he does step up a bit in class he doesn't face any standouts; Brennan can work out a winning trip from this spot. (3) LOUIE THE HORSE N was a strong winner when dropping in class and the Cullpiher trainee is a strong candidate to repeat, but is also likely to be overbet. (5) RAUKAPUKA RULER N is still capable of firing from the gate and there isn't a ton of speed to his inside; include.

Race 5: F&M $50,000 Claiming Pace

(5) PURE COTTON went down the road from the seven hole in her local return despite missing almost three weeks of action and I don't see anyone standing in her way in her quest to make it two straight. (1) HEAVENISSOFARAWAY shipped in from Pocono last week for Mark Ford and gave way without much of a fight; 4-year-old mare could be sitting a stalking trip tonight with different results. (2) TOBAGO TIME held for a piece after an uncovered grind last out; she draws well again and should land a share.

Race 6: 3-5YO NW8 races or $100,000 lifetime Pace

(5) HEMSWORTH N paced a big back half in his qualifier prepping for his U.S. debut. Import faces some talented foes but I wouldn't be surprised if he was ready to roll, though don't expect 7/1. (7) TRENDY TEEN has been first or second in all recent starts for the Engblom barn and Bartlett is back driving; only problem here is the post. (3) TWIN B DELUXE was a solid pocket-sitting second last out, though he loses Bartlett to #7.

Race 7: NW20000 in last 5 starts Pace

(1) OZONE BLUE CHIP was on a major roll a couple of months back then got stuck with a few tough spots; veteran drops in class, moves all the way inside and figures to awaken in a big way. (5) SPLASH BROTHER has tailed off recently but he's capable of a monster effort any time. (4) SAULSBROOK HERO is a bonafide closing threat.

Race 8: F&M $50,000 Claiming Pace

(2) LAURIE LEE missed last week's race when she was a transportation scratch but she's back in to go from another good post and she's just a smooth trip away from getting it done. (5) PAIGE'S GIRL is another sharp mare from the Lance Hudson barn, which looks to sweep the two F&M claimers tonight. (3) CAVIART CHERIE is always capable with a trip, as evidenced by that pocket-sitting score last out.

Race 9: NW7500 in last 5 starts Pace

(1) SURREAL ART returns to the East coast for the Cullipher barn and he exits some pretty consistent efforts over at Hoosier Park; gelding can control the action here with Bartlett. (6) COALITION HANOVER could not get past a stubborn Rockin Jukebox last week but it was still a solid try; Bongiorno trainee lands outside his main competition here but that will help boost the price. (2) AIR FORCE HANOVER folded on the front end last start but just missed from the pocket in the start prior; Stratton stays with him.
