Race 1 - 50000CLM Trot

(6) FOR A DREAMER closed well to finish third in his debut for trainer Nick Devita on 10-15 and hopefully he'll continue to offer some value in this race. (2) WILLY WALTON comes in with two straight victories over $50,000 claimers and moves inside on the gate tonight. (1) MUSCLE DYNASTY also gets post relief after gaining spots and ground in his last four outings against NW6's.

Race 2 - F&M NW4/50000LT Pace

(7) WAITFOREVER N saw her winning streak end a couple weeks ago, but she faces straight NW4's here instead of mixed NW4/NW6 company, and perhaps will be a better price given the outside post and suffering that defeat last time out. (2) HUNTRESS moves up from the NW2's but scored two facile victories and certainly knows her way to the winner's circle with a 19-for-26 win record. (1) WINE N DINE ME had to settle for third from post eight last Wednesday but is on a regular racing schedule tonight and drew the pole.

Race 3 - NW5000L5/12500CLM Trot

(2) INFINITY STONE plummets to the bottom level after finishing third in a NW10000L5 base class event last Wednesday and makes his second start back in Per Engblom's barn. (1) ABSOLUT UNCERTENTY has an inside post for the first time in a while and gained ground in an amateur race last Tuesday. He was in against NW7500L5's in his most recent overnight start. (3) FREDDIE MAC won at the corresponding class to this one at Harrah's Philadelphia in late August and was second in the Open at Monticello two back. I'll include for a price underneath.

Race 4 - NW10000L5/Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW7500L5/20000CLM Trot

(2) AFTER ALL PAUL had post and traffic issues on October 15. Tonight, he drew well and also was Jordan Stratton's choice. (7) SWANSEA is hot with two straight victories and has had plenty of success at Yonkers in the past. Driver Jim Marohn Jr. sent him from post seven on 10-15 and he could certainly try the same here. (4) CALL ME DANI enjoyed a good enough season in Indiana to make the sires stakes final, but is a 3-year-old filly taking on older foes in this spot. I'll slot underneath.

Race 5 - F&M NW2/25000LT Pace

(2) MOMMY SAID NONONO missed the board just once over at Monticello since coming in from Illinois and picks up a catch driver with Austin Siegelman taking the call. Notice she has nine lifetime victories but fits this class since most of them were in non-wagering races (4) ADDISON SEELSTER deserves to be the favorite given her recent form/results but is just one-for-21 lifetime, and I'll take a shot against. (7) TRANS MEANIE invades from Iowa and debuts for Lance Hudson. She was second in the final for 3YO pacing fillies in the Hawkeye State and is another horse with more career wins than the NW2 condition.

Race 6 - NW7500L5/Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW5000L5/15000CLM Trot

(3) CRIME FIGHTER clobbered bottom level foes on October 15 and gets reunited with Bartlett tonight as he begins his ascent back up the ladder. (5) ROGER RABBIT invades from Ohio off a victory and shows finishing fourth in the Open at Northfield on 9-4. This should be a good spot for him. (6) TORKIL drops out of a NW10000L5 base class race and is capable of hitting the board at this level.

Race 7 - 3&4YO 40000CLM Pace

(7) MAKE MY DEO keeps drawing poorly but did have pace on the end of his mile on October 8 and Bartlett takes the lines here. (1) SHIP WRECK BEACH K is the current ruler of this class as he'd have three straight victories but for the placing on 10-1 and landed the pole to aid his chances. (3) KOBRA KAI got up for third in his debut for trainer Travis Alexander on October 15 and moves inside on the gate tonight.

Race 8 - 75000CLM Trot

(5) KANDY SWEET returns to overnight action after dominating in an amateur event last Tuesday. This might be too tough a spot for her, but I'm willing to give her a chance given her current form and sharp speed she's capable of showing off the gate. (4) MUFASA AS is another one that hasn't had any success against $75,000 claimers but he downed $50,000 claimers two straight times and merits consideration. (3) HOMER HALL is probably the one to beat as he's hit the board in four straight races and just missed against NW30000L5's last time out.

Race 9 - 50000CLM Trot

(2) BLUEBIRD JESSE tallied over $50,000 claimers two back and then rallied from eighth to third from post seven in a subsequent effort. Trainer Chris Height is sending out some live horses lately, and I'll put this one on top. (4) GEMOLOGIST won the race my top pick exits on 10-15. He does have a bit of a question mark as he shows some breaks, but has been racing well otherwise. (7) STEUBEN HANOVER has hit the board in all of his tries at this level on his page except one and might get overlooked given the outside post.
