Best Bet: ALL ABOUT MADI (12th)
Spot Play: BB’S HARLEY (2nd)
MEET STATS: 5 - 34 / $48.30
BEST BETS: 1 - 3 / $4.90
Race 1
(2) SURE FIRED BET Five year old is very sharp and he does have the tactical speed to pick them up and lay them down. (6) TOWNSLIGHT HANOVER is knocking at the door seeking his first win of the year; big threat. (4) BUGSY MAGUIRE put in a mild rally for show money last time around; don't overlook.
Race 2
(3) BB'S HARLEY was on the lead most of the way but ran out of gas in deep stretch last time out. Gelding appears to be heading in the right direction; the pick. (2) MAAJAACKKOBE was a sharp second in his last trip to the post; factor. (1) STATESMAN N gets post relief and Brennan has the assignment; not out of this.
Race 3
(2) BIG CITY JEWEL is on a roll scoring his fourth straight victory and this pacer is a hot commodity at the claim box; should keep on his winning ways. (1) HI HO STEVERINO was a game third recently and now he moves to the fence; big player. (7) SOS JUSTIFIED was sent down the road in his latest for all the glory so he must be considered in this event.
Race 4
(6) DIALAMARA did not fire in his last start but this pacer does know how to win at the Hilltop so with that said a well judged drive from Goodell could put this guy right into the winner's circle. (4) HOT DEUCE gets a better post to work with and he does have good speed; big threat. (5) RISE UP NOW is clearly knocking at the door based on his last two starts; watch out.
Race 5
(4) QUICK FUN N flashed good speed against better at Freehold last out and now he will try the half-mile oval in hopes of greeting the cameraman for pictures. (8) AMERICAN ISLAND is very speedy but will have to get the job done from door number eight; possible. (6) PASS THEM BY N just got up for win honors last out and he does fit with this group; not out of this.
Race 6
(2) HIDDEN LAND came close to getting the job done last time around and this mare seems to be heading in the right direction; ready to boss these. (3) BETTOR N BETTER had a mild rally to grab the show spot in her last trip; contender. (6) MORE THAN MANY took charge at the 3/4 marker on her way to making her last start a winning one; beware.
Race 7
(4) ELECTRIC WESTERN moves down the ladder and gets the services of Bartlett. A fine-timed drive could get this gelding right back into the winner's circle. (1) UNDERTAKER moves back to the fence where he was a game third two trips ago. (3) FEEL THE NEED A did not race badly at the Meadowlands last out and he does fit with this group; player.
Race 8
(7) BETABCOOL N just got up for win honors last time around. Mare now draws the 7-hole but she is sharp enough to take another one. (4) AMBRO COURAGE N was late on the scene to grab the placing recently; big threat. (5) BRONZE OVER N did not get the job done as the chalk last out but she is very capable of moving forward; consider.
Race 9
(2) FANTICIPATION just missed glory in her last start and now she moves to door number two in hopes of taking these to task for all the cash. (4) KNOW IT ALL did not have enough gas in the tank last out and she had to settle for second money; dangerous. (1) VINTAGE BABE gets serious post relief and that might help her cause; maybe.
Race 10
(3) WAR DADDY stays in same company and now this gelding attracts Brennan. Has every right to boss these down the road. (2) DIAMOND COWBOY moves to the 2-hole and that might be what he needs to contend with these. (5) CHEYENNE JEFFREY is better than his most recent outing and he did get the job done two starts back so he must be considered in all the exotic slots.
Race 11
(2) IN THE HUDDLE showed signs of life in his last start and if this gelding gets a favorable trip he could make tonight a winning one. (1) DR DRAKE RAMORAY rallied strongly to nail down the show spot last time around; threat. (3) PEMBROKE WILDCAT should be in a perfect spot to make an impact in this event so watch out.
Race 12
(1) ALL ABOUT MADI has the fence tonight and her last trip is an indication she's ready to put her best foot forward. (3) MOTU MOONBEAM N has wheeled off two straight victories and she can have a say despite the rise in class. (2) SASSA HANOVER was facing Open foes in her last try and now she should be right in the mix from the 2-hole; don't overlook.
