Best Bet: AMPED UP (1st)
Spot Play: KING ROYALTY (6th)
Race 1
(3) AMPED UP leaves Philly and the $15k claiming ranks and this seems to be a perfect spot for this 8-year-old gelding to get the job done. (7) BIG BAMBU was sent down the road in his last try for all the glory; threat again. (5) LISCLOON rallied strongly to nail down the victory in his latest.
Race 2
(4) UPFRONTWHOSURLADY Pacing mare is sharp based on her last two performances and if she gets the perfect trip it will be light's out for the rest of these. (2) OUR ELS DREAM N took the pocket route on her way to victory last out. (3) CLASSY LANE ROSE has hit the board in her last four tries; not out of this.
Race 3
(7) IDEAL NUGGETS Mare is knocking at the door based on her last three outings; primed to boss these at her best. (2) CANACO STAR gets post relief and that might help he cause. (8) CAROBBEAN PACETRY just missed glory by only a neck last time around and must be considered in here.
Race 4
(1) KIWI IDEAL N showed signs of life in his last start. Now the gelding draws the rail; all systems to greet the cameraman for pictures. (2) BET DEAL YET N moves to the 2-hole where he was an even third three trips ago. (6) NATURAL LEDA took charge right from the start and never looked back in his Philly finale.
Race 5
(2) WESTERN BAYAMA Gelding has good tactical speed and Brennan is giving this 4-year-old another shot for glory; gets the call. (3) SPINARAMA should appreciate the move to the inside post; player. (7) ADDWATER was nailed for win honors last his last trip to the post; watch out.
Race 6
(5) KING ROYALTY has been sharp in his last five starts and he is very capable of getting the job done given a favorable trip. (4) A PLUS HANOVER Game effort in the pocket for the victory last out. (2) MARTIAL BLISS gets post relief and should show speed against these; don't overlook.
Race 7
(2) KAMWOOD LAUGHTER N is back inside where she has done her best running. Mare can boss these at her best. (4) TRUTH AND LIBERTY rallied strongly down the lane to lose glory by a nose; big threat. (1) MACHO CHICK 9-year-old mare can get back into the swing of things from the fence; maybe.
Race 8
(1) SAMS ESCAPE put in a sharp effort for show money given the fact he was in the 8-hole last out; can make tonight a winning one with Brennan at the helm. (5) BETTOR REASON N Even finish against better in his most recent try; main danger. (4) SHADIOS was on the engine most of the way but did not have enough gas in the tank and held the second spot last week.
Race 9
(5) WE THINK ALIKE is better than in his last start and this gelding could top these if he gets the favorable trip and a fine-timed drive. (2) EMPEROR MONTANA N was in the pocket most of the way but could not get to the winner in his last trip. (3) ARTIST NIGHT came up the fence to grab the show spot last out and could have a say in the outcome.
Race 10
(7) IDEALBEACH HANOVER most likely was used up with the sharp early fractions last time around but these $25k claimers seem to be a better spot for him to get the job done; we shall see. (3) SMOOTH CRIMINAL did not fire in his last try but the gelding does have speed; threat. (1) BILLABONG BEACH keeps Brennan and now moves to the fence; beware.
Race 11
(4) SPORTS BETTOR Gelding seems to be heading in the right direction and has every right to pick them up and lay them down for win honors. (2) ROCK ABSORBER has wheeled off two straight victories; must be considered. (5) FASHION DELIGHT was on the lead most of the way but was nailed for the score by Ace Of Clubs last time out.
Race 12
(3) MILLWOOD FAITH N came close to glory last time around and this mare appears to be ready to put her best foot forward. (2) ALHAMBRA gets serious post relief and figures to be right in the mix. (1) FANTICIPATION was late on the scene to miss the victory by 3/4 length; by far not out of this.
