Race 1 - NW2/30000LT Trot

(1) PINE BUSH LANDAU invades from Pocono with two straight wins to start his 3-year-old campaign, and I'll look for him to keep that going tonight from the pole position. (2) CORE VALUES prevailed two back against NW1 foes at Pocono and exits stakes company for an overnight race here. (4) PETEZA comes in from Northfield off an upset win in the Buckeye Stallion Series at Northfield and gets significant post relief.

Race 2 - 25000CLM Pace

(6) EVER M has now won his last four starts in this class after another victory a week ago, and I'll go back to him again here. (1) SHAKE IT hasn't been outside the exacta in his last five tries and gets reunited with Dan Dube, who won with him on 5-9. He was also re-claimed last Wednesday by the stable that tallied with him on 6-6. (3) TELITONTHEMOUNTAIN was victorious the last time he was at this level on the 21st of May and races out of the track's leading stable.

Race 3 - F&M 20000CLM Pace

(3) PURAMERI finished second and third at Yonkers two and three starts back and then was derailed by the eight-hole last Wednesday. She's worth a shot here as she moves in on the gate and catches a pretty wide-open field. (1) ADALECIA slides in from post seven to the pole position this time and was victorious at this level back on June 2. (7) RACIN FOR ROYALTY will have to overcome the outside post but enters off a victory and I wouldn't be surprised if she's put in play.

Race 4 - F&M Winners of 2 but not more than 4 PM Races or 60000LT Pace

(3) SAMMY JO HANOVER looks like she's been facing tougher rivals out of town than she meets up with tonight and also gets some post relief to go with it. (4) SEND IT DOWN SLIM raced well in a runner-up finish last week in her first start back after a month off and has hit the board in seven of her ten tries thus far in 2026. (5) CRYSTAL COAST was third in the same event SEND IT DOWN SLIM exits and is on a three-race streak of top-three results.

Race 5 - Winners of 2 but not more than 4 PM Races or 60000LT Trot

(3) MINOAN scored in impressive fashion at this level last Wednesday and adds a catch driver from an improved post tonight. (1) HIGHLANDSTARBURST plummets in class out of the F&M Invitational and the Miss Versatility Series and starts from post one for a stable that's been doing well out of town throughout the year. (6) D'WOOD was a closing second in a similar class to this one on June 10 and gets a driver switch to Colin Kelly tonight.

Race 6 - Winners of 5 but not more than 7 PM Races or 90000LT Trot

(2) HALFADOZEN owns at this level back on May 16 and gets significant post relief off a closing runner-up finish from the eight-hole last Wednesday. (1) MONI MAN has hit the board in five of his last seven starts and was third in the same event that HALFADOZEN exits from a week ago. (7) SEVEN LAYER starts from a bad post but prevailed in this class on both 5-30 and 6-6 and gets reunited with Brent Holland here.

Race 7 - NW5000L5 / 12500CLM Pace

(3) KIMBLE A came in third a couple of times against NW10000L5s back in May and then drew a series of outside posts. He drew well tonight and gets reunited with Joe Bongiorno, so I'll hope he can take advantage. (2) JUST ENUFF STUFF lacks recent form but finds the bottom level tonight from an inside post, and that's often all it takes to wake one up. (1) ROYAL DESIRE slides in on the gate from the six-hole to the pole position in his second try back after a brief layoff and was third with a 27 and change final quarter a week ago.

Race 8 - F&M 20000CLM Pace

(3) TH RIZZO is just one-for-19 this year but comes out of the leading stable and drops a notch out of the $25,000 claimers. Add in that this is a wide-open looking group, and I'll give her the nod. (1) IDEAL SKIES won three straight from 4-30 to 5-14 and is back with the stable she won out of in that May 14 effort off a re-claim here. (5) BECA MITCHELL comes in with five on-the-board results in her last seven starts, including back-to-back runner-up finishes, and kept Colin Kelly over my top selection.

Race 9 - 20000CLM Pace

(4) CAMOUFLAGE MONEY double-drops out of the $30,000 claimers and gets a bit of post relief to go with it. He had a third and a win two and three starts back at Yonkers as well. (2) FOXHUNT prevailed in his debut for these connections at this level on June 6 and moves in a couple of notches on the gate tonight. (3) ITALIAN LAD N exits a fast mile down at Harrah's Philadelphia and just missed against $25,000 claiming company at Yonkers prior to that.
