BEST BETS: 15 - 23 / $46.00 (+$0.00)
Race 1
(5) SCARLET CHASER has been razor-sharp in his last few and now goes for Banca off the claim and was Bartett's choice; expect aggressive action off the gate. (1) WAR DADDY was reclaimed by Temming and he's another who's been feeling much better of late. (3) MASTERSON drops to a winning level but was rather dull in his last two versus better and has missed some time; use caution.
Race 2
(5) SWANSEA has been rock-solid in all recent efforts for DiDomenico and seems to be a touch faster than these as we kick off the Bonus Trotting Series. (1) HENDERSON SEELSTER has shown both good speed and versatility as he returned as a 4-year-old; Stafford trainee draws best. (3) RICH AND MISERABLE qualified very nicely at Pocono in preparation for his 2019 debut.
Race 3
(2) ACE OF CLUBS drops to the bottom conditioned level in his second start off the Adamczyk claim and he should be able to show much more tonight. (6) TRIPLE SEELSTER also gets needed class relief and he's had some good efforts recently versus better. (4) LARRYS PETROCK hasn't earned a penny for this barn and he keeps searching for the proper level; at least he gets some post relief here.
Race 4
(3) CHASIN' DREAMS was dead-game in victory two back as he graduated from NW8 and he followed that up with a crisp close versus more seasoned foes; Lorentzon trainee is clearly the one to beat here. (5) ONE OF THE FEW never got involved last out but showed good speed in prior starts. (2) FASHION FOREVER has been a solid earner this season for Smith/Garland.
Race 5
(5) OMAHA OMAHA has won his two 2019 starts pretty handily and the sharp sort can maintain that edge heading into this series. (3) GEMOLOGIST has a post edge on his main rivals and the Banca trainee figures to be on the move early. (4) COASTAL REGION returns locally for Team Bongiorno and has shown ability here but has also misbehaved.
Race 6
(4) FIRST CLASS HORSE takes a meaningful drop in claiming price and the veteran seems capable of awakening. (3) ER ROCK MY WORLD gets much-needed post relief and will be looking to take this field wire-to-wire. (2) DIAMOND COWBOY can be counted on for a share from this inside spot.
Race 7
(2) IMF has been a solid money-earner since hitting town and the mare will offer a better price than the talented (1) WHETHER OR NOT FI; Gannon trainee will be in line for a perfect close-up trip. The latter is near-perfect for Toscano with only an eight-hole miscue four back; obvious one to beat. (5) JOEY BATS needs to stay flat (duh...) but if he does he will come out of this with a big share.
Race 8
(4) IN MY DREAMS arrives from Northfield, joins the DiDomenico barn, gets Brennan and could be ready to roll at first asking. (2) PITTSTOP KIP has good early speed and should be close up throughout. (5) WILD SMILE has been looking much better recently after a couple of subpar efforts to start the year.
Race 9
(6) BETTERLATETHNNEVER was facing much better when last seen locally and I'm sure Bartlett will be on the move early to stay clear of traffic in this oversized field. (3) REAL LUCKY N swept the field in his last race at this level. (5) GHOST PINE is inconsistent at times but he does have good early speed which makes him a consideration.
Race 10
(3) ADAGIO DE LA TOUR returns to Laterza via claim and he's had plenty of success in this barn.; French import is clearly the one to beat in the finale. (2) TIDQUIST comes away with money every week and should be a player from this good inside post. (4) HASHTAGMADEYALOOK gets some needed class relief for the Bongiorno barn.
