BEST BETS: 12 - 25 / $41.30 (-$8.70)
Best Bet: IDEAL COWBOY (6th)
Spot Play: MIGHTY SANTANA N (10th)

Race 1: NW2 races or $25,000 Lifetime Pace

(2) MOXLEY has had success over the half-milers up in Canada and he was off time before that last start for his new connections at The Meadowlands; Mark Ford trainee lands a good post and doesn't face much here. (3) COME ON RAAGS gets a driver upgrade to Bartlett. (4) WELL DONE SON didn't show much in a couple of starts after shipping north from Florida but he took money in both races; mixed feelings.

Race 2: NW5000 in last 5 starts Trot

(5) CHIEF JUSTICE hasn't done much recently at The Meadowlands but he was a winner here versus NW7500 types back in January and maybe the change in venue will wake him up. (2) LIMERENCE was third best to a couple of good horses here last week and the veteran fits well at this level. (3) MUFASA AS was a game winner last out and gets a free ride at this level.

Race 3: NW5000 in last 5 starts Pace

(3) IWONTDOTHATAGAIN never got involved upon arrival but he drops from the $20K claimers into this relatively soft spot and he was Zeron's choice. (2) WINNING LINC returns locally off a decent effort at Freehold and he does have some back class. (5) BILBO HANOVER also makes his return to Yonkers and he has a few good efforts recently at Pocono with Kakaley in the bike.

Race 4: NW5000 in last 5 starts Pace

(1) I’M BENECIO A rallied willingly in his last two coming from tough spots and now the import gets important post relief; he has missed a bit of time but I believe there's more talent there than he's been showing and he's clearly deserving of a play. (3) THE MOONSHADOW N hasn't been a serious threat in his last few races but he had been facing better from some tough spots; this kind of feels like a "now or never" situation. (2) SOMWHERENBROOKLN N drops to the lowest conditioned class after facing some good ones in claimers; Garcia-Herrera trainee beat $20's here a couple of months ago.

Race 5: NW4 races or $50,000 lifetime Pace

(2) SHINY BLACK BEAMER had some moderate success as a three-year-old on the Ohio fair circuit and now he ships east to join the DiDomenico barn; he looks like a good fit here if he's ready to go. (6) QUAGMIRE BLUECHIP followed up his win two back with a great eight-hole victory last week; he deserves loads of respect here. (5) BRAZEN BRAZILIAN keeps picking up checks but can't break through to the win column; he's got some early speed which can get him in play. Use underneath.

Race 6: NW7500 in last 5 starts Pace

(3) IDEAL COWBOY makes his second start back off a lengthy layoff and he did pace in 1:53 4/5 despite being uninvolved last week at Freehold; Jenn Bongiorno barn is firing on all cylinders. (2) MAROMA BEACH was a pocket-rocket winner last out for DiDomenico/Brennan and he steps up looking to take another. (4) LUCIANO N was in a very good spot last week and took care of business on the front end; he's got back class to call upon. (1) GHOST DANCE stopped badly a few weeks ago but bounced back quickly. Good race.

Race 7: NW15000 in last 5 starts Pace

(1) IDEAL JIMMY drops out of the Borgata and returns to his comfort zone; from the innermost post Holland will be looking to control these. (6) DON DOMINGO N left hard last week and was a pocketed second best to a classy winner; Lance Hudson trainee is going well now and can be seriously considered. (7) CHRISTEN ME N was a winner in his local return and the 13-year-old is still going strong; his trip is uncertain tonight from this poor post, however.

Race 8: NW7500 in last 5 starts Pace

(3) MIKE'S Z TAM took some money last week and he put in a typical effort from this barn (unused most of the way, plenty finishing). He gets some post relief and hopefully will be more involved. (4) YAYAS HOT SPOT N was a bit overmatched in the Borgata but he did pick up checks in both legs; note that he did fail at odds-on the last time he was in this class. (5) MYKINDACHIP is officially out of excuses, so this is probably the week he pops and pays $20.

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

(3) IDEAL ARTILLERY has been off since the end of last October but he qualified back in strong fashion indicating he's ready to go and he should offer some value in this competitive field. (1) MISTER REBBILY A moves all the way back inside and was a winner from a similar post three back; highly logical. (4) REIGNING DEO fits here but needs to pick up his game a bit; Marohn's choice.

Race 10: NW10000 in last 5 starts Pace

(3) MIGHTY SANTANA N was derailed in his last two facing better from the eight hole but the Deters trainee lands in a much more manageable spot tonight and he seems like the one to beat in the finale. (6) TIN ROOF RAIDER A also takes a class dip and was a solid second two back at the NW15000 level. (1) BENHOPE RULZ N just missed two back then was in an impossible spot last out; Cassar trainee is a player from the inside post.
