MEET STATS: 444 - 1224 / $2,394.10
BEST BETS: 60 - 105 / $194.70
Race 1
(4) RED DIRT REBEL has been just fine since arriving locally for Allard and can be excused for last week's effort where he was shuffled; he gets top billing in this race where it's tough to love anybody. (3) MODERN ROCK AS ships in for live connections and should fit well here but he has missed a bit of time. (2) IOWA NEIGHTIVE goes second-time Lasix; improves?
Race 2
(1) GLOBAL REVOLUTION was nailed on the money last week by a stalking rival but there was no shame in that; he's clearly the one to topple tonight. (7) TAKE MY PICTURE figures to be firing from the gate and seems to be the main threat. (5) SUPERIORCOURT was a decent second last week upon arrival and Bartlett sticks with him.
Race 3
(2) TIVO HANOVER was a sharp winner last out grinding by a good rival who came back to win; Harris trainee can take another. (3) PRO BEACH gets some post relief and the Takter trainee seems like he should be better then he's been showing. (4) LEGENDARY RON moved to the Burke barn and jogged in the PA Fair final; we'll see if he can go with these.
Race 4
(4) AMERICA FIRST made a nice move to be second best to the heavy favorite last week and that's two good efforts in a row; DiDomenico trainee appears ready to score. (3) MISS U BIG MIKE had no chance last out but his efforts from inside posts have been good; consider. (1) GOLD RUSH was a sick scratch upon arrival from Canada; he's right back in the box but it's tough to figure what to expect, especially at his low morning line.
Race 5
In a tough race to figure, (3) BULLVILLEKARLA hasn't been that bad recently and she does gave good early speed that can set her up for a live trip. (1) SUCCESSFUL OUTLOOK has been close up in her last two. (5) DON'T MACH MIA ships in from Pennsylvania into what may be an easier spot.
Race 6
(3) SLICK ARTIST A has raced well to be second best in her last two and she figures to be the best price of these imports. (6) GOLD ORCHID N has looked super in two U.S. starts; who knows how good she is. (1) SHEZZA GNP N gave her backers some anxious moments but did get the job done last out at 1/9; Tritton import must be respected.
Race 7
(1) WEONA SIZZLER A charged home from too far back last out when he took all the tote action; there shouldn't be any excuses tonight from this spot. (3) AVATAR J drew away late off a perfect trip in last and is always a player with this type. (5) MY DELIGHT was second best in that strangely-run NYSS final; he's clearly talented enough to contend here.
Race 8
(1) SIMPLE KINDA MAN failed to follow up that sizzling local debut but he does gets much-needed post relief tonight. (6) NICOL SHARD N has been yet another Down-under import who has shined locally; big threat. (5) WHOS BETTER loomed large at a big price last out but hung; prior effort versus lesser was solid.
Race 9
(5) MICKY GEE N has been absolutely super taking five straight and Stratton sticks with him here over a Tritton trainee. (1) KEY ADVISOR jogged versus lesser last week and could have more to offer. (2) ARAMIS N was an easy winner last week with Siegelman driving and he picks up the catch-drive again; player.
Race 10
(7) GIVENUPDREAMING has had excuses in his last few and the price may be halfway decent from this outside post. (4) SWING CITY was in a very easy spot last week and did prove an easy winner; he gets another crack at this NW20000 level. (6) PACING MAJOR N didn't fire last week; he's better than that.
