BEST BETS: 20 - 34 / $68.70
Race 1
(2) SPRING LUCK moved into the Blumenfeld barn and showed good improvement in that qualifier; this barn change angle worked for these owners with Diabando. (4) DESIRE AGAIN gets much-needed post relief and should be more involved tonight. (5) STORMTRACKER raced willingly in just her second lifetime start for Toscano.
Race 2
(3) JAYPORT ALL MUSCLE has class to him and has been racing well out at Northfield; trotter should be live from this spot. (4) JUSTA REBEL gets Bartlett back in the bike off a needed tightener at Monticello. (7) MOJITO AS also ships in from Ohio for the reasonably successful Lorentzon outfit.
Race 3
(7) SIN CITY SHARK was vastly improved last week at The Meadowlands for the 'vastly improved' Sholty barn; big threat if he can overcome the post. (3) JIMMY WINTIPS dug in stubbornly late to share win honors in his debut for Harris and he can have more to offer. (6) JUXLIVIN MY DREAM raced well last out after moving to the Harmon barn.
Race 4
(2) SIR PUGSLEY wasn't bad in his seasonal debut and he faces a very suspect field here. (7) BROOKLETS DYNAMITE hails from the hot DiDomenico barn; consider. (6) POWERTERNITY may benefit from both the barn and venue change.
Race 5
(1) BLINKY BEACH promises to be much more involved tonight from this inside post. (6) TRACEY'S DESIRE had finishing pace in her seasonal debut and she can certainly move forward off that effort; Bartlett drives again. (2) DW'SBLISSFULTHINKIN has been uncovered in her last two at big odds; she can land a share with a ground-saving trip.
Race 6
(4) SUPER MANNING went a long and game trip in his local return; veteran is much the best of these. (5) DRAGIN THE WAGON ships down from Canada where he's been racing well and he could be a good fit here. (2) WESTERN CREDIT hasn't won in some time; use underneath on the ticket.
Race 7
(6) JULIO'S GIRL was a sharp two-move winner and seems capable of repeating in this competitive field. (3) FAMOUS PADDY was second best to the top choice in a big eight-hole effort and she gets post relief tonight. (2) NIC NAC PATTY MACH rallied decently for a share first-time Lasix,
Race 8
(1) MAX IS BACK has been sharp up in Canada on the small tracks and he ships in joining the Harris barn picking up Gingras and he draws best. (3) JK NOWORNEVER didn't fire last out on the class bump but the youngster has ability and may be fast enough to compete here. (6) ROCKET J always lands a small share with this type and could do so here.
Race 9
(3) SURE FIRED BET raced respectably in the Sagamore and he picks up Gingras in his local return seemingly in a good spot. (6) VORACITY ships in for Burke after failing in a fast mile at Pocono; threat. (7) SHOW THE FASHION broke on the move as the favorite last out; he'll be a big price tonight and could be considered underneath.
Race 10
(4) IDEAL PRINCESS had plenty of pace last week but could not overcome the eight hole; sharp mare should steamroll these tonight. (2) PRETTY REAL DESIRE gets Brennan back in the bike going second-time Lasix. (7) FROG POND PRINCESS has the early speed to take a shot early to improve position.
Race 11
(3) ANOTHER DAILY COPY did not have the easiest of trips last week but from this spot he's certain to be leading or stalking with a perfect pocket ride. (4) ROLL AWAY JOE qualified nicely and seems ready for his seasonal debut. (5) BALLERAT BOOMERANG was badly bothered last out; prior effort was good.
Race 12
(3) VALUABLE ART was run down by a good one last week but held game for second; mare will be heading to the front again. (1) ROCKNROLL VISION was very good in her first two starts of the season but then seemed to tail off a touch in her last two; still a threat from the rail for these connections. (4) KEYSTONE RIPTIDE hasn't fired her best shot since shipping in; needs to show more.
