Best Bet: ISSA HORSE (3rd)
Spot Play: MOHAWK WARRIOR (10th)

Race 1: $12,500 Claiming Pace

(5) CONTROL TOWER finished mildly from the eight hole last out while facing better and the veteran drops to the lowest claiming level tonight; he faces a couple of legit challengers tonight but the DiDomenico trainee deserves top billing. (1) HIGHVIEW CONALL N just missed from a similar spot in last and he's another classy veteran in here; he'll pick up the pieces if the top one falters. (3) UNDERTAKER has been very consistent of late at Freehold and fits well with this type.

Race 2: NW5000 in last 5 starts Trot

(2) SHOWMEYOURGUNS went a pretty speedy clip in last week's qualifier preparing for his 2021 debut and the classy veteran could be ready to go right off the bench. (4) FOMOR has raced pretty well in four local starts for Peter Tritton but has been burning money along the way; he figures to be a short price again here. (5) NAVARONE HANOVER was never involved last out but missed a nose the start prior, which was his local debut after shipping down from Saratoga; Zeron gets the drive tonight.

Race 3: NW2 races or $27,350 lifetime Pace

(2) ISSA HORSE was simply third best last out to a couple of sharp ones who completed a short exacta; escaping those two rivals tonight makes this Pelling trainee the one to beat. (1) ROLL WITH DOM came out of the same race as the top one and finished right behind in fourth; he's been a consistent sort and has a big chance here. (3) THREE DRAGONS gets needed post improvement and will be much closer to the action.

Race 4: NW5000 in last 5 starts Pace

(2) LONDON SEELSTER took a little money last week facing better while off time and offered little; drop in class should help his cause for a barn that's generally done good things this season. (4) WARDAN EXPRESS A also showed little in his 2021 debut after being off a month and then was recently scratched sick; he fits with these but use caution. (1) REAL LUCKY N returns from Monticello and he did have a few third-place finishes here last year.

Race 5: NW5000 in last 5 starts Pace

(2) BILBO HANOVER was bet down to 5/2 from an outside post when dropped to this NW5000 level and raced okay for a small share; veteran gets Kakaley back in the bike from an improved post. (3) MAROMA BEACH has been facing much better of late and he finds the winning spot here but won't offer much value. (8) WAR DAN DELIGHT N also gets much-needed class relief but has to overcome post eight.

Race 6: NW4 races or $50,000 Lifetime Pace

(6) ODDS ON BREXIT was a game runner-up after an uncovered trip two back then found some gate speed to set up a perfect winning trip last out. Similar effort here can get it done. (1) ROCKIN MEDICINE was a bit short on the front end upon arrival from Philly but he gets another chance here, now from the innermost post. (4) ILLBEWATCHINGU bumps back up to NW4 off that solid pocket score in last.

Race 7: NW8 races or $100,000 lifetime Pace

(1) TRU LOU arrived locally for Burke and dominated on the front-end as the favorite. He's obviously a main contender again. (3) MY PAL JOE has been razor-sharp at The Meadowlands for trainer/driver Alek Chartrand and he was a winner here in his lone local appearance last year. (7) MAJOR BETTS qualified nicely at the Big M and makes his first start since the Jug elimination. Will he be fully cranked up?

Race 8: NW7500 in last 5 starts Pace

(2) TAP TAP TAP tried going down the road in his seasonal debut but was overhauled by a very sharp rival. He draws well again and could be in line for a live trip. (6) CAVIART SKYLER blew away a weak field last out but could be sharp enough to contend here. (7) SOHO WALLSTREET A returns from The Meadowlands, has back class and does fit with this type.

Race 9: NW6 races or $75,000 lifetime Pace

(1) HUDSEN A added Lasix for his last start and paced evenly at the NW8 level; he's upset here in the past and should be a decent price with Dauplaise driving. (5) LOU'S SWEETREVENGE got the job done at 2/5 upon arrival and bumps up the NW conditioned ladder a notch looking to double up. (2) SWEET TRUTH goes from the Burke barn to the Corelli barn; if he maintains his form he can contend here.

Race 10: NW10000 in last 5 starts Pace

(4) MOHAWK WARRIOR landed on tough uncovered trips in his last two and held okay both times. Smoother sailing here can get it done. (1) QUATRAIN BLUE CHIP was a solid two-move winner last out from the eight hole; he faces better but also gets major post relief. (2) THREE WAYS N was a winner the last two times Lachance drove.
