Race 1 - NW2/25000LT Trot

(2) CREDARENA won in this class back on 8-25 when he drew inside on the gate and landed a good post here after having the six-hole and the far outside in his last pair. (4) CRESCENT BEAUTY won pretty handily in her debut for Lance Hudson at Pocono and is one of those horses that have been racing on fair circuits and posted a lot of victories but fit this type of level because all they've raced in are non-wagering events. (1) AVACAKES advanced from seventh to fourth in the last quarter in her last appearance on September 22 and slides inside on the gate tonight.

Race 2 - F&M NW6/75000LT / F&M NW4/50000LT Drawn Inside Pace

(4) FLIP THE SCRIPT had a two-race win streak in August and has a barn change to consider tonight as she's now part of the Ron Burke Brigade. (3) CHERYLS SHADOW hasn't missed the board in six appearances for trainer Doug Dilloian Jr. and comes off a victory over NW6's. (7) LOVE THAT SMILE owns a pair of runner-up results since shipping down from Canada and into Jenn Bongiorno's stable. One of those second-place finishes was to Cheryls Shadow on 9-27.

Race 3 - 50000CLM Trot

(1) LADY'S IMAGE got a race over the track on 9-26 and takes another shot at the $50,000 claimers tonight. She's done most of her damage on the lead or in the pocket, so hopefully that type of trip is ahead. (7) LOS BALLYKEELAMIGO moves outside on the gate this time but rolled on the front-end at this level on September 19. (2) MUFASA AS seems to have gotten sharp again outside of that one attempt against tougher $75,000 claimers three back. I'll include.

Race 4 - NW4/50000LT Trot

(2) R DESIREABLE LADY gained late in her local debut on September 22 after getting interfered with by a breaker. I think she could get a little overlooked in the wagering, and I'll bank on her getting a cleaner trip this time. (5) PENELOPE J won last month at the Meadowlands and rarely appears in overnight races, so the connections may be keen to take advantage of this opportunity. (1) CASTLE HOUSE made the New York Sire Stakes final but had no chance after drawing post eight. He put in a good effort to finish second in a sire stakes leg at Yonkers back in July.

Race 5 - F&M NW4/50000LT Pace

(1) AMERICAN HALO scored in a mixed NW4/NW6 race last Tuesday and gets to face straight NW4 company here from the pole. (5) SALE EL SOL closed well to finish second in a stakes event at Freehold in her debut for Burke on September 24 and picks up George Brennan in the bike tonight. (2) MISS DOTTIE MAE has shown the ability to hit the board at this level and gets post relief this week.

Race 6 - NW6/78170LT Trot

(4) CANTKEEPMIASECRET squeezed into this race by $1 under the lifetime earnings cap and was Jason Bartlett's choice over two others. (6) MUSCLE DYNASTY has been performing well since adding trotting hobbles in late August, including back-to-back runner-up finishes against NW6's at Yonkers. (1) PC FREE WHEELING is sharp with five straight on-the-board results and drew inside again.

Race 7 - 25000CLM Pace

(4) CLASSIFIEDMATERIAL doesn't show much in the way of current form, but nobody in here really does, and he is now with Scott Di Domenico after a claim. (2) NOAHS MILL just missed by a nose as the favorite at this level back on 9-3 and had no shot from post eight most recently. (1) MARTY MONKHOUSER A gets reunited with Jordan Stratton for the first time in a bit tonight and should offer a better price than he did on September 23.

Race 8 - 50000CLM Trot

(7) ALL CHAMPY cruised to victory in his debut for leading trainer Gareth Dowse on September 19, and I'll go back to him again tonight. (3) DELTASUN A followed along in the pocket and finished second in a $50,000 claimer last time out and could be able to work out the same trip tonight. (4) OUR WHITE KNIGHT returns from Freehold after winning back-to-back editions of the Preferred Handicap Trot at that oval.

Race 9 - F&M NW2/25000LT Pace

(1) HUNTRESS comes east from Iowa having won 17 times in 24 starts in two seasons in the Hawkeye State. She gets to face NW2 company here and I'll look for her to score at first asking for Jenn Bongiorno. (2) THE LETTER gained spots and ground in the final quarter last Tuesday and moves in from the seven-hole to post two. (6) BROOKLYN BLUES is still a maiden after 16 starts but did close well at The Red Mile on September 19 and is now with Virgil Morgan Jr.
