BEST BET: NO WIN NO FEED A (6^th)

SPOT PLAY: EVAS SPORTS CZECH (8^th)

Race 1: F&M $20,000 Claiming Pace

(4) UNITY moves to another new barn (Stratton) and is a proven winner at this level; faces a competitive group here where the best trip will likely produce the victor. Midpack post gives this mare multiple tactical options. (3) NIKASA N took money in barn debut but the Alexander trainee didn't fire; she drops from the $25's to the $20's and is likely to show more. (5) TERACITA has been pretty good in all recent for DiDomenico/Brennan.

Race 2: NW15601 in last 5 starts Pace

(2) BINGE ON YANKEE hit town last week for his first start with the Gillis barn and never got involved from his outside post but was beaten less than three lengths. Expect much more action from this 4YO with the move inside. (4) ROLLING WITH SAM has finished second or third in each of his last four starts and figures to offer some value here. (3) NANDOLO N just missed last week against better and has sub-:28 last quarters in all his recent races. Lauren Tritton pilots tonight which helps the price.

Race 3: F&M $25,000 Claiming Pace

Only six horses but a case can be made for all of them. (3) NUTTINBUTHEBEST was overmatched last week at the $50K level but her prior two in this class were decent pocket rides and she may be ignored a bit in the wagering. Worth a try if she projects to be 5/1 or higher. (2) LARJON LEAH and (5) JUST ROSAS LUCK both step up class for new connections while in stellar form.

Race 4: F&M $50,000 Claiming Pace

(6) FREESTARFLIGHT is a perfect three-for-three since arriving from Delaware and joining the Cory Stratton barn, and she's risen the class ladder each step of the way. 27 second gate speed got her to the front in her last two and she'll be pointed to the lead again. (1) HONEY LOVE is back in for a tag for Garcia-Herrera and lands the rail; dangerous. (4) COALFORDSNSHINE GB gave a solid accounting of herself after stepping up for new connections.

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

(2) SHEIKH YABOOTY N won't offer much of a price but she's been razor sharp for Bongiorno and she lands inside of her main competition. (6) TYRA MAKES BANK got parked the mile in her first start for new connections but she had made the front in every other Yonkers start after arriving from Delaware. (5) PINK RUBY has been a model of consistency over the last six weeks (five starts) for Stratton.

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

(2) NO WIN NO FEED A threw in one clunker four back but other than that race the Engblom trainee has been super, with many of those races facing better than what she sees here. Mare is clearly the one to catch. (6) PARADISE ROCK L is 16 for 22 in the money this year mostly racing at this level. Holland left with her last week and may do the same tonight. (5) CALLMEQUEENBEE A was in a poor position last out; prior was a good second.

Race 7: 2-5YO winners of 2-4 or $60,000 lifetime Pace

(7) ON TIME DELIVERY has been caught up in fast miles in three PA starts after arriving from Canada and joining the Engblom barn. Repeat of her 6/17 race could crush these. (4) AYR BALMORAL GB gets a driver switch to Joe B. and may show some improvement. (5) FIREARM is forwardly placed most starts.

Race 8: F&M $20,000 Claiming Pace

(2) EVAS SPORTS CZECH meets a very soft field of $20K claimers and she did beat this type a couple of months back. Mare gets Kakaley in the bike tonight from a good post. (1) CANNERY ROW had an improved effort last week and Joe B. may be sending her down the road from the pole position. (5) JEANSNJELLYBEANS has been just ok since arriving at YR; Brennan drives.

Race 9: F&M $20,000 Claiming Pace

(1) PINK QUARTZ flattened after a two-move try last week but she could be in line for a smoother stalking trip where she only has to make one run; I'll give her a shot. (3) SHOTGUN PERSUASION wired similar last start; logical repeater. (2) HARPER SEELSTER got major post relief last week and responded with a good second-best rally to #3. Izzy Estrada trainee lands inside again and is also logical.

Race 10: NW21961 in last 5 starts Pace

(5) SEMI TOUGH has raced well enough to win in his last three but came up just a bit short in each try; Burke veteran has a class edge over these and deserves top billing. (2) CARABAO A has been super winning his last two and he steps up again looking for another while in career form. Stratton gets the drive tonight with Buter staying on #3. (1) MIKITEEN has much to prove here but he's got some speed leaving from the rail with an aggressive driver.

Race 11: $60,000 - $75,000 Claiming Pace

(2) CENTURY ENDEAVOR is one of a few in here getting away from Rock Diamonds tonight but the Stratton trainee may benefit the most of them having a post edge and will be a price. (3) JUST BET IT ALL is the most logical as he came close to the streaking winner in last and is well-spotted again. (5) REIGNING DEO just missed from a similar spot three back.

Race 12: 2-5YO winners of 2-4 or $60,000 lifetime Pace

(5) SINBAD N has been a favorite of mine recently despite not winning but I like the speed tries. He should have a clear path near the front again and maybe end up with a live stalking trip. (2) LOVERS TROUBLE gets major post relief after being stuck with an eight hole and seven hole his last two. (3) ENDOFSTORY also lands an improved post and I think he's the favorite in here. Dilloian, Jr. trainee has been very sharp.
