Race 1 - F&M NW2/25000 LT / Maidens or NW12500LT Drawn Inside Pace

(6) YS ISA invades with four wins and a second in five starts this year. She qualified back well at Pocono with a 27 1/5 last quarter and races for connections that can definitely have one ready to fire. (5) NEW VIEW gets some post relief after having the eight-hole a week ago and gets a shot with leading driver Jason Bartlett. (4) BEACHBLANKETLINDY is just one-for-37 in the win column but often finds her way onto the ticket like she did last Wednesday.

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

(1) MADEIRA HANOVER returns to overnight company after racing in the Park MGM Pace last time out. She was involved in quick fractions in that event and should appreciate facing this company instead. (6) GABBY'S GIRL had been first or second in five straight outings before she choked and didn't finish on 6-28. She qualified back fine at Pocono and is likely to be handled aggressively by Braxten Boyd. (4) FANCY AND FAST wound up third last Wednesday against a sharp foe in Miki Rose.

Race 3 - NW5000L5/12500CLM Trot

(2) MIGHTY SURF was second last time out in the corresponding class to this one at Pocono and managed a third-place finish against $50,000 claimers at Yonkers on May 16. (6) LUCKY WEEKEND gets a second crack at bottom level foes tonight and has a driver switch to Bartlett. (3) J A T O came in third against NW7500L5's the last time he was seen locally on 5-14 and posted his lone victory of 2022 at Yonkers.

Race 4 - 50000CLM Trot

(2) GREY made up some ground and gained spots in the last quarter a week ago and gets back on a regular racing schedule after being scratched prior to that race. She's also shown the ability to leave in the past, giving driver Jim Marohn Jr. some options. (3) WILD AND CRAZY GUY has burned some money in his last two races, but he's also hit the board in six out of his last seven appearances, so while I'll try and beat him for the win, I will include underneath. (5) D P ROCKET won two back at this level and then was a solid third last Wednesday.

Race 5 - NW4/50000LT Pace

(4) SHANGHAI SEELSTER hasn't lost since joining Ron Burke's barn in early June and I will go with her again. (1) HEAVEN SENT ME is another win machine in this event as she comes in with five straight victories. She even gets to drop a bit tonight since she faces straight NW4's rather than mixed NW4/NW6 company. (7) LIGHTNING LEIA closed pretty well from off-the-pace in the Park MGM Pace final and returns to overnight racing tonight.

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

(6) LOS BALLYKEELAMIGO hit the board in four of his last five starts in Canada and now ships south of the border and into Travis Alexander's barn. (4) STEUBEN HANOVER scored in the corresponding class to this one on June 24 at the Meadowlands and was facing $75,000 claimers when last seen locally. (2) CHAMPAGNE ON ICE recently joined the Per Engblom stable and has a win and two seconds for him at the Meadowlands and Harrah's Philadelphia. She has a pretty good history at Yonkers and raced multiple times in the Open last year.

Race 7 - 25000CLM Pace

(2) MIGHTY MR SHARKEY N shows finishing second the last two times he's raced against $25,000 claimers at Yonkers, and this looks like a wide-open race to me. (6) BLODD BROTHER turned in a strong effort to finish second on June 30, and he's used to starting from outside posts. (3) MAJESTIC KIWI N grabbed a fourth-place finish on 6-30 and tries $25,000 claimers for the second time.

Race 8 - 50000CLM Trot

(1) DYLAN THE GREAT went a long way on the lead before getting overtaken in the lane last Wednesday. He gets some post relief tonight, and I'll give him another shot. (6) LOOK IN MY EYES has missed the board just once in his last seven appearances and is back with Anette Lorentzon after she re-claimed him. (3) ABSOLUT UNCERTENTY dug in gamely on the front-end and won in this class a week ago. That continued a run of good form that has seen him finish in the top three five times in his last six races.

Race 9 - 20000CLM Pace

(7) GOTHIC ROCK kicked home in 28 and change last Wednesday in his first start for trainer Adamczyk. He's in pretty good form overall except for the one race on June 24, and I'll give him a chance. (5) LOVE THE BLUES N put in a first-over grind and was second a week ago when he dropped down to this claiming level. (2) REAL LUCKY N beat Love The Blues N in that contest last week and picks up Bartlett's services.
