BEST BETS: 53 - 89 / $172.40 (-$5.60)

BEST BET: ALWAYS B MIMI (9^th)

SPOT PLAY: PEACE OUT POSSE (5^th)

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

(5) FEELIN RED HOT drops to a new low as she's in for $20K. It's not like she's been horrid though, she just can’t last to the wire. Speedster gets another chance. (2) TRIZZLE TRAZZLE was reclaimed by Devita and she had won her prior three for that barn. Top two here figure to be sitting one-two. (4) SHORTYS GIRL rallied well last week and got up for second in her first start with driver Austin Siegelman listed as the trainer. 4YO can be a late threat again.

Race 2: F&M $50,000 Claiming Pace

(1) MCANGEL almost pulled off the major upset last week for a barn that had another longshot winner last week. Move from outside to the rail could get her over the top. (6) CHUPPAH ON's success depends on how well she gets off the gate. If she can make the front or find the pocket she'll be right there at the wire. (2) MIKI THE CLOWN broke before the start last week and was far back. Mare proved herself at this level by winning her previous start.

Race 3: NW12271 in last 5 starts Pace

(5) DRAGONONTHEBEACH ships in for the Cullipher barn off a useful qualifier at Philly as he makes his first start in three months. Bartlett is back driving and catches a camera-shy field. (1) BENHOPE RULZ N faces softer here as he's been caught up in some fast miles recently. Veteran should be a major player here. (4) ROLLING WITH SAM picks up checks with regularity and always finishes close up; he'll win one sooner rather than later.

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

(3) BELLADONNA GIRL A has a win and a close third in her last two tries at lower conditioned levels and now the Tritton trainee drops in for a tag. Addition of Bartlett makes her a worthy play. (2) HP XANADU has been a winning machine as she goes for four straight since being claimed by the Dicostanzo barn. (1) DREAM DANCING has some class to her and the move inside will help her sit a trip and land a share.

Race 5: NW15000 in last 5 starts Pace

(3) PEACE OUT POSSE takes an important drop in class and also gets some post relief. Team Bongiorno charge seems primed for an aggressive try. (6) FREQUEST IMAGE has rolled to three straight as the Alexander trainee climbs the class ladder. If he can make the front again he may be tough to catch. (4) BELMONT MAJOR N returns locally and has faced better than these in the past; price play underneath perhaps.

Race 6: NW22501 in last 5 starts Pace

(4) HICKFROMFRENCHLICK was grinded down by Nandolo N last week and there's no shame in that. Schnittker-trained veteran gets more class relief tonight and should prove tough to catch. (1) GREAT SOMEWHERE wired the field last start and gets a free ride at this level while driving the rail. He's an obvious contender here. (5) SAVE ME A DANCE may be hurt by drawing outside of his main competition but that helps the price; Bartlett returns on the Engblom trainee.

Race 7: NW23221 in last 5 starts Pace

(3) JM'S FINALTREASURE is an improving 4YO from the Burke barn and he's been a solid runner-up over his last three. Good starting spot may give him the edge here. (4) SPLASH BROTHER failed to get involved last week from the eight hole but now the move inside a few slots gives regular driver Marohn some options. (5) HAMMERING HANK shipped in for his last start as he debuted for the Bongiorno barn and he was good in defeat; perhaps he has more to offer.

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

(2) CALLMEQUEENBEE A was bet heavily into favored Miki Rose last start but failed to fire when sent to the rim. Joe B has a post edge on that rival tonight and may put this mare on the front. (5) MIKI ROSE resumed winning ways with that well-rated win; can't see it being that easy tonight. (3) PURAMERI should be closer than she has been in recent starts and she can land a piece.

Race 9: F&M $25,000 Claiming Pace

(4) ALWAYS B MIMI is two-for-two since being claimed by Engblom and she faces much of the same again going for the hat trick. (3) WILDCAT ANTONIA isn't the most reliable horse in the Burke barn but she can compete with this type when in the mood; lack of early speed hurts but if she's within range she can rally for a board spot. (2) SWEET SANDY LOU closed ground last week, now gets an improved post.

Race 10: 3-5YO NW6 races or $75,000 lifetime Pace

(4) LYONS SURFING is one of a couple of PA breds in here (also #6) with numerous stakes engagements, but not a ton of success. Post edge could make the difference. (2) SHUFFLE UP HANOVER has been moving up the class ranks but has seen his win streak stall. Don't take too short of a price. (6) ERVIN HANOVER added Lasix for his last start, maybe it helps. Burke trainee faces an uncertain trip here.

Race 11: 3-5YO NW2 races or $25,000 lifetime Pace

(4) TAKE A BREAK has a five-race winning streak, including his last three for these current connections. 3YO still fits this NW2 class and will be a short price as he looks to graduate from this level. (6) LOUIE HANOVER has the speed for top connections but needs to find a bit more late. (5) BROOKVIEW DICE has been forwardly placed in every start since arriving from Indiana. He's likely to be off the pace tonight and maybe he'll use some of that speed late.
