Race 1 - 12500CLM Pace

(3) DERECHO dominated on the ship-in from Ohio and went from one high-percentage barn to another after being claimed. (4) MACHING TIME has back-to-back runner-up finishes, including to Derecho a week ago. (1) MOXLEY has had absolutely no chance in his last three after being slammed with two eight-holes and a post seven start. He moves to the pole tonight, and I'll throw him in the mix.

Race 2 - NW5000L5/12500CLM Trot

(4) FASHION FOREVER gained positions and ground in the last quarter a week ago and gets a second chance against bottom level foes tonight. (3) SWANS HONEY moves inside on the gate this time after finishing fifth a week ago. She picked up her lone win of the season in this class back in mid-January. (2) TORKIL is zero-for-25 in the win column in 2021 but drops down from the NW7500L5's and gets post relief to go with it.

Race 3 - F&M NW2/25000LT Pace

(5) FRENCH SHAKER was competitive against NW2's here back in July and now has the big barn change to Jenn Bongiorno. (2) CINCO SENORITA invades from Monticello in very sharp form and pretty much everything trainer Nick Devita is sending out right now is live. (1) BEACHBLANKETLINDY just can't get a victory, but she is very consistent at hitting the board and is a must-use underneath.

Race 4 - NW5000L5/12500CLM Trot

(3) TOUGH MAC gets to slide down from the NW7500L5 level tonight and posted his last win in the corresponding class to this one at Pocono. (2) LADY EAGLE moves in from post eight this week after advancing from eighth at the opening quarter to fourth at the finish a week ago. (6) DC ANNA woke up big time at Harrah's Hoosier Park on 9-1 and now is in the Scott Di Domenico barn.

Race 5 - 30000CLM Pace

(1) MAJOR CROCKER A showed his rallying third on 9-6 was no accident as he came back to win last Wednesday. He was claimed out of that race by a high-percentage outfit, and I'll put on top. (2) GINGER TREE PETE took advantage of a drop from the $40,000 claimers a week ago to post a gaining fourth-place result. He gets significant post relief off that mile here. (5) AWESOMENESS paced a 27 3/5 final quarter in his last start on September 13 and was claimed out of that race by Di Domenico.

Race 6 - F&M NW4/50000LT Pace

(6) PARTY QUEEN scored two back in this class and then was a good second to a well-meant winner a week ago. She's back on a weekly racing schedule tonight, too. (2) RUTHMAE HANOVER pulled off the rail last week but never really made any headway. She gets further post relief tonight, and I'll include in the hopes of an improved effort. (1) IDEAL HANNAH held third after doing the first-over work in the same event my top pick comes out of last Wednesday.

Race 7 - NW7500L5/Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW5000L5/15000CLM Trot

(2) FULL RIGHTS sharpened up his speed last week with a front-end try that resulted in a fifth-place finish. Now, he drops and moves inside, and I think is worth a chance. (1) IM THE MUSCLE took absolutely all of the wagering attention at this level a week ago but had to settle for a third. He starts from the pole here, and maybe they can coax some more early speed out of him. (7) LIMERENCE got really sharp earlier this summer but has tailed off again now. I could see him waking up at any time, including in this race.

Race 8 - F&M NW6/75000LT Pace

(4) MILIEU HANOVER finished a closing third in the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes final earlier this month, and I like that she shows the ability to race both on the lead or from behind. (2) SUMMER RAE battled the best in New York all summer in the sire stakes and capped off her season with a second-place result to Test Of Faith in the final. (1) TENTHOUSAND ANGELS has found top gear since joining the Bongiorno barn and probably won't have any issue stepping up from NW4 to NW6.

Race 9 - NW10000L5/Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW7500L5/20000CLM Trot

(2) GLOBETROTTING has minded her manners since the addition of trotting hobbles last month, and I could easily see her wiring this field like she did to that one at the Meadowlands on 9-11. (1) WARRAWEE SHIPSHAPE held sway on the point to get the win a couple weeks back. He's back in the same class here and retained the pole position. (7) DRAZZMATAZZ turned in some good results when he was at Yonkers earlier this summer and returns after finishing second in the Preferred Handicap at Freehold on the 10th of September.

Race 10 - NW5000L5 Pace

(3) ARCANE SEELSTER clocked a 27 3/5 final quarter in his last try, and I think the connections are showing some confidence in him by moving him from claiming company to this NW5000L5 race. (8) CLIFFHANGER moves all the way from post one to the eight-hole, but I don't think he's a write-off and will definitely include underneath. (4) SECRECY hasn't shown much in his last two, but the drop from NW7500L5 to NW5000L5 is sometimes all a horse needs to come back around, and he just missed by a nose at this level on 7-16.
