Best Bet: IN COMMANDO (5th)
Spot Play: CLASSY LANE ROSE (8th)
Race 1
(3) DRUNKEN DESIRE A flashed good speed against tougher upstate; he's back at the Hilltop where this gelding was second best on September 5th; very capable of getting the job done. (5) KEYSTONE HONOR put in a nice run for the show spot last time around; contender. (1) COLOSSAL should benefit from the fence; watch out.

Race 2
(7) SOUL TRAIN was facing better company at Saratoga last time out; trotter will need a favorable trip to make tonight a winning one and there's a good chance he could mow them down. (6) SILENCE SON has scored four straight victories; the one to fear. (4) CAN DO moves up in class; goes for a new barn and Brennan is in the bike; beware.
Race 3
(1) GOOD DAY MATE might have been used up in the early stages last out; draws much better and could boss these down the road. (3) CLASSIESISTAR N did not fire in his last two trips but the move to the 3-hole should help his cause; maybe. (2) MY TEMUDJIN N Gelding was sharp to just miss by only a head; not out of this.
Race 4
(1) NATURAL LEDA takes a nice drop in class plus retains the rail slot; all systems go for this pacer to take these to task for all the cash. (3) BJS RAMEAU has hit the board in his last three trips to the post; main danger. (5) DEMOCRACY N fits well in here and could be a exotics factor; watch out.
Race 5
(4) IN COMMANDO Based on his last three starts, this pacer is clearly knocking at the door; has every right to top these with a fine-timed drive from MacDonald. (5) HI HO STEVERINO Very consistent gelding fits well with these and appears to be a big threat in here. (1) BRETT MCFAVRELOUS should flash speed from the rail slot; player.
Race 6
(8) CINAMONY Sharp pacing mare has done nothing wrong; hit the board 14 of 15 tries this year; all systems go for her second straight score. (7) CAROLSIDEAL beat lesser in her latest; could make some serious noise against these. (1) CAROBBEAN PACETRY did not race badly last time out; could have a say in the outcome.
Race 7
(1) K SLATER is much better than his last start; moves to the fence and that might be what he needs to get the job done. (6) DREAMLANDS ART showed good speed in his last trip; very capable. (5) CHEYENNE SEEBER is on the dropdown; took a NW18K on August 15th so beware of this gelding.
Race 8
(2) CLASSY LANE ROSE if she reverts to her September 3rd start, it could be game over for the rest; did take some action in her last start so maybe this gal is live; we shall see. (4) ROCKAROUND SUE put in a good effort at Philly last time around; could be right in the swing of things. (5) HER OWN LAND was the boss in her Maine finale on August 7th; not out of this.
Race 9
Will take a shot with (4) COCOA BEACH to turn it around; 7-year-old miss has back class and with a favorable trip, she could get the job done. (1) KAITLYN RAE was sent by Sears down the road last out for all the glory; dangerous again. (5) HANDSOFFMYCUPCAKE was second best in her last start; could make some serious noise with these.
Race 10
(4) PASS THEM BY N Sharp efforts in his last two starts makes this gelding a major factor to boss these at his best. (2) DONAU led every step of the way in his latest; threat again. (1) CAUTION SIGNS Tough break at the start last time out but is very capable from the rail slot; watch out.
Race 11
(1) SKATES N PLATES takes a drop in class; trotter has tactical speed and could be ready to fire his best against this group; possible. (5) WALLTOCOUSINS rallied strongly to nail down the victory at Philly last week; big player. (2) RED HOT HERBIE gets class relief and gets a cozy post to boot; beware.
Race 12
(6) SELL A BIT N Pacing mare put in a mild bid last time out; did close strongly to just miss by a nose against open foes on September 4th at Saratoga; can mow these down with a perfect trip. (3) TIPITINA took the pocket route home to victory in her last trip to the post; threat again. (1) EYRE HOSTESS N is clearly knocking at the door based on her last three starts; beware.
