Race 1 - F&M NW2/34000LT Pace

(4) CHELSKI already owns wins over both the NW2 and NW3 classes and gets to slide back down to the former level here due to her low lifetime earnings. (3) RCKAROUNDTHECLOCK N is four-for-five in her career between here and Australia. She was very good in her U.S. debut at Saratoga and will likely get plenty of attention. (2) IDEAL HANNAH has yet to visit the winner's circle in her 27 appearances, but she has hit the board four times against NW2's since mid-November.

Race 2 - NW5000L5/12500CLM Trot

(6) FULL RIGHTS slides down to the bottom level here after a good second-place finish to In My Dreams in a NW7500L5 race a week ago. He has plenty of early speed, and I'd expect him to be on the point. (1) SUPERIORCOURT went off as the favorite on 3-2 but had to settle for third. He starts from the pole position tonight, so maybe driver Matt Kakaley will get more aggressive with him like when he won in gate-to-wire fashion at Monticello. (2) BARNEY MAC drew inside this time, which might allow him to sit closer to the action that he has been lately.

Race 3 - M Life Rewards Gents Series Pace

(2) DRAGON SAID looks impossible to go against based on that dazzling win in his division of this series last Wednesday. He's certainly stepped up his game since joining the Jenn Bongiorno barn, and he's shown the ability to prevail both from the lead and behind. (5) ROLLING WITH SAM gained to finish second after a shuffle a week ago and has now hit the board in two straight. (7) MY PAL JOE was the one I thought they'd be chasing in this series, but Dragon Said handled him easily, and he was rough-gaited on the last turn. I'll use underneath from the outside post.

Race 4 - NW10000L5/Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW7500L5/NW7500L5 Drawn Inside Trot

(2) ABBIE'S CELTICLASS might have needed that race last Wednesday given the sick scratch on 2-24. She improved from eighth at the opening quarter to fourth at the wire, so that was a good effort from the eight-hole, and now she gets an inside draw. (3) ARMAGEDON SEELSTER has been plagued by bad posts since he scored on January 20. I'll hope the time off after the sick scratch is not an issue and he appreciates being reunited with George Brennan. (4) IN MY DREAMS is sharp right now and enters with a win over NW7500L5's a week ago. He was not Jordan Stratton's choice, so Jason Bartlett gets a shot with him.

Race 5 - M Life Rewards Gents Series Pace

(4) LOU'S SWEETREVENGE tallied pretty handily in round one of this series after a good stretch rally and drew into what looks like the softest division tonight. (3) ODDS ON BREXIT was used pretty hard during the mile a week ago and had to settle for fourth. I think the aggressive handling showed positive intentions, and he could be sharper tonight. (5) SOCIAL THEORIES finished fourth in the split dominated by Dragon Said last Wednesday. That wasn't a bad effort, and I think he's capable of getting on the ticket.

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

(6) LIMERENCE worked out a second-over trip in a NW10000L5 race a week ago but was out-finished in the lane. I'll bank on some improvement coming with the drop and regular racing rotation tonight and give him a chance. (2) YES showed his affinity for racing out of the Erv Miller barn again last Wednesday as he prevailed in his return to that stable. Brent Holland is not here tonight, so Jordan Stratton gets a chance with him. (5) TAD KRAZY HANOVER slides down a notch from the NW10000L5 level and gets a new pilot with Matt Kakaley taking over.

Race 7 - M Life Rewards Gents Series Pace

(4) RETOUR AU JEU brushed to the top before the half in round one of this series and kept going from there to score. He's been very impressive since joining the Dennis Laterza barn and kept Stratton in the bike. (2) SALT LIFE had to work hard to get to the front a week ago and gave way in the last quarter. I thought he did well to hold fourth considering the hot early tempo, and he might be able to get a smoother trip from post two here. (5) SAILBOAT HANOVER gets away from Dragon Said tonight after finishing second to him last Wednesday. He's gotten sharp for trainer Ron Burke, with on-the-board results in his last three.

Race 8 - NW7500L5/Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW5000L5/15000CLM Trot

(1) WINNERESS double-jumped in class last week and had post eight, so I can excuse that dull effort. This is a much more reasonable spot, especially with the pole position, and I'll put on top. (3) CYCLONE MAXIMUS is a horse we've seen jump up with better efforts from out of the blue in the past, and I think that could happen here as he moves inside off a ten-hole start at the Meadowlands, and Stratton, who has the call tonight, won with him back on the 8th of December. (4) MAJESTIC KAT has hit the board in both of her chances since coming in to the Nick Devita barn and could be on the lead here if Kakaley sends her.

Race 9 - NW10100L5/Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW7500L5/20000CLM Trot

(2) DRAZZMATAZZ picked up a check against NW1500L5's in his first start for trainer Yogi Sheridan on 2-26 and now gets class and post relief here. He was also Joe Bongiorno's choice of a couple. (3) FOMOR came in fourth in the same race my top choice exits and gets to take the same drop in class. He also kept Stratton in the bike. (8) SVF CASH DEPOSIT double-drops off a third-place result against NW20750L5's. I know it's post eight, but I think he's worth including in the hopes of a smooth trip.

Race 10 - F&M NW6/75000LT / NW8/100000LT Drawn Outside Pace

(8) DANCE CLUB starts from post eight again, but on paper there doesn't seem to be a ton of early speedsters in this race. Hopefully it plays out like that in reality, Dan Dube sees it the same way I do, and is able to be aggressive with her. (2) ACEFORTYFOUR DOME sat in last week and ended up not getting out until it was too late in the stretch. She probably merits including again. (6) VICIOUS CIRCLE scored from off-the-pace again last Wednesday and clearly seems to be better with that trip strategy. She remains in against NW6's, so she should have every chance to tally again.
