Race 1: 2-4YO NW1 race or $14,722 lifetime Pace

(6) DEALERS TURN is 0 for 16 but has hit the board in 10 of those tries; Holland and early speed should get him a live trip. (1) ROYAL DESIRE exits the NJSS and looks to have the potential to crush these at a short price. (2) STONEBRIDGE PATROL went evenly last week for a share, now is back to Engblom regular driver Bartlett.

Race 2: $60,000-$75,000 Claiming Pace

(4) ROCK DIAMONDS N left from midpack last week and scored the pocket-sitting win...same potential scenario tonight. (6) POINTOMYGRANSON was the one collared by the classy #4 ending his streak; should have a path to the front again. (3) QUALITY BUD picks up a check every week and is a smooth trip away from a board spot.

Race 3: F&M $20,000 Claiming Pace

(2) PRINCESS ARONA was second best in her last two from similar spots and gets the call with the barn-change angle. (1) UNITY was a live second two back from the rail then went a long tough trip last week from the eight hole and didn't tire that badly; major player. (5) PINK RUBY faltered last start at 40 cents on the dollar; the good news is the price goes way up tonight.

Race 4: 3-5YO winners 2-5 races or $60,000 Lifetime Pace

(1) RENAISSANCE DEO was a complete non-factor last week but he reunited with his regular driver Bartlett, who goes with this Shane Tritton 3YO over the Engblom invader. (3) AIN'T NO STOPN TIME is that invader who added Lasix for the NJSS final though the field was a little too tough. Zeron picks up the drive for his local return. (6) HEZ ALL THE RAGE N could be leaving for position like he did three back where he made front from a similar post.

Race 5: F&M $20,000 Claiming Pace

(3) TYRA MAKES BANK ships north from Delaware where he's only 1 for 19 on the season but she gets a barn change here to Alexander and lands the leading driver in Bartlett. (1) BROOKDALE JESSIE is all the way back inside and co-owner Siegelman figures to be aggressive. (6) PLEASURE SEELSTER has raced well in two starts since dropping from 25's to 20's and she's got some speed.

Race 6: F&M $50,000 Claiming Pace

(4) IDEALINFUN showed renewed energy two back then last out she swept the field from last, home in :27 2/5. Only downside with her is the projected short price. (5) NUTTINBUTTHEBEST has been a solid performer all season, except for her latest start where she folded on the front end at odds-on. She's likely back to stalking and a better price is looming. (1) HEAVENS SHOWGIRL A recently returned to Yonkers and now is in for a tag. Good try in that start when she held for second behind the top choice.

Race 7: F&M $20,000 Claiming Pace

(2) DANDY'S SHOWTIME pulled off the mild upset last week when Dexter Dunn picked up the catch drive and now she's back inside after a string of outside posts. (8) SHEIKH YABOOTY N does have good early speed and if Joe B blasts without too much trouble she can be in this number at a price. (3) JUST ROSAS LUCK dropped in class for her last start and responded with a win; clearly capable of repeating.

Race 8: 3-5YO Winners 2-5 races or $64,629 lifetime Pace

(6) MIKITEEN has a win and a second in two starts since moving to the Engblom barn and now he gets his main man in the bike. There's some talent in this field but the price should be honest (1) LOVERS TROUBLE was home in :27 1/5 in his second start since Jenn Bongiorno took over and that was after winning his local debut. Just needs to stay a bit closer to the front for his best chance. (4) BONAPARTE took some action in the NJSS final but was no threat; Zeron drives again.

Race 9: 2-5YO NW2 races or $25,000 lifetime Pace

(8) MR THREE O FIVE seems to be a risky play in a NW2 overnight from the eight hole considering he's got some stakes-level talent for the Takter barn. Proceed with caution. The alternative in here is the also-chalky (1) ALRITEALRITEALRITE, also with stakes experience coming from his 3YO NJSS final. (3) MONEY EXCHANGE was a good second last out after leaving for a pocket.

Race 10: NW15071 in last 5 starts Pace

(4) SEMI TOUGH gets another run at this NW15K level and aside from some tough Borgata fields the Burke veteran has been rock-solid. Millionaire gets top billing. (5) CYRUS N is up two class levels off an odds-on loss but the Shane Tritton trainee seems fast enough and has an aggressive driver. (3) KOMODO BEACH drops in class after a couple of third-place finishes; Bartlett on the catch drive.

Race 11: NW10471 in last 5 starts Pace

(1) FORTIFY drops back to the level of his last win and moves all the way inside; Burke entrant will look to take these down the road. (5) SHAKESPEARE looked much better winning last start after dropping and maybe he's got his confidence back. Zeron picks up the drive with Brennan on the favorite. (2) THE REAL ONE finished fast last week, can do so again with a similar ground-saving ride.

Race 12: NW21811 in last 5 starts Pace

(2) LOU'S SWEETREVENGE is a tough one to play sometimes but he has been going well in all recent and it looks like there's plenty of speed in this race. Maybe the trip works out. (6) ULTIMAROCA sizzled on the front end in his last two and the sharp sort can string together another one. (5) JUST BET IT ALL will look for a smoother trip with his regular driver back aboard.
