BEST BETS: 1 - 8 / $3.80
Race 1
(2) KING ROYALTY put in a good run in his last start so there's a chance he can move forward. (8) NORTHERN ASSASSIN A took them all the way to victory in his latest. Post hurts tonight but his form is so sharp he is very capable. (4) SCARLET CHASER gets post relief and that should help his cause.
Race 2
(6) RAISING KERCKHAERT was third best from the 8-hole last time around so door number six very much puts this trotter in the ballpark for the score. (3) HOTROD RICHARD took the pocket route on his way to glory last out; threat (2) HOLY KOLY raced evenly in his last try for fourth money; consider.
Race 3
(1) ROCKIN PANDA leaves the outside slot for the rail where he did get the job done three starts ago; can take this if he is at his best. (2) IM A GIFT was on the front but did not have enough gas in the tank and lasted for second money recently; player. (6) CHANGE STRIDE N is knocking at the door based on his last two tries; watch out.
Race 4
(4) DALI DELIGHT was a game second recently so she can put her best foot forward for a high percentage barn who tabs go-to driver Bartlett for the assignment; the pick. Meadowlands shipper (3) BIG CHUTE should find these to her liking; consider. (5) KEENE OLIVIA did put in a mild rally for the fourth spot in her last try; can have a say.
Race 5
(4) FIRST CLASS ACT seems to be heading in the right direction and good to see Gingras with the return drive. Could be tough to reel in with a better-timed run. (6) THE LIONKING AS needs a better trip then he did in his last one; capable. (7) TAKE A WISH has put in two fair outings so she must be respected.
Race 6
(8) P H SUPERCAM goes for new connections and the veteran catches a weak group. So despite the move to the 8-hole the pacer can make tonight a winning one. (4) POP ICON has tactical speed and he stands to improve with a favorable trip. (7) STILL FRISKIE was very game in his latest to grab the placing; not out of this.
Race 7
(3) SWANSEA just got up in time for the victory in his Dover finale. Gelding seems to be in solid form and trainer Di Domenico calls on Mr. Brennan. Could be a handful if he gets away cleanly. (7) CHUCKABUCK is on a roll scoring his second straight victory; main danger. (6) EXS AND OHS could land a share if she gets a better trip.
Race 8
Hopefully (3) MASTERSON can put it all together. Gelding seems to be heading in the right direction based on his last three outings. With a well-timed run he could greet the cameraman for pictures. (5) ER ROCK MY WORLD got the job done via the pocket last time out and he retains the 5-hole; repeating threat. (4) STARSKYS DREAM N showed life in his last start so there is room for improvement.
Race 9
(6) BROWN BRINNY should get a better pace to chase and the good news is she leaves the 8-hole. Can get back to her winning ways with Bartlett at the helm. (4) PHYLLIS JEAN put in a solid effort for win honors against lesser last out. Major player despite the rise in condition. (2) MISCHIEVIOUSGIRLS gets a better draw and that could help her chances; do not overlook.
Race 10
(3) ONE OF THE FEW stayed in the pocket most of the way and took charge in deep stretch for win honors last time around. Gelding seems to be in winning form so two straight is clearly not out of the question. (2) PERLUCKY was sent down the road in his last start for the victory at this level; the one to fear. (1) WORTHYOURATTENTION took charge right from the start on her way to glory recently; not out of this by far.
Race 11
(1) SUE'S NIGHT OUT should be well positioned based on her last performance. Now she moves to the fence and she should be able to use her tactical speed to her best advantage; using. (5) ACEFORTYFOURAMANDA is on quite a roll scoring her third straight victory last time around so she must be respected. (3) SHADY STELLA did not race badly in her latest so she could contend with these.
