Race 7 - $10,000 Guaranteed Pick-5 Pool
Race 1 - $12,500 Clm
(1) ROCKIN PANDA was the pick last week but failed to finish off the front-end job. I’ll give him another chance. (2) BIG TURN ON fits this level perfectly but he enter a new barn via claim and we’ll see if he can keep up his good form. (4) COACH CAL returns locally after showing some renewed life at Philly. (3) B’S WEDDIE picked up a check last week and he can hold off the rest here if Beyer sits the rail with him.
Race 2 – NW10000 in last 5
(3) NOBLE ANTHONY has raced well here in the past and he need a field with plenty of question marks; maybe. (4) MYSTICAL POWER tired badly upon arrival but she likely needed that start and it’s hard to ignore anything from Hudson/Stratton. (2) UNDICI is one of those French imports from a season ago that’s still hanging around and he can land a share if kept close enough early. (8) TIDQUIST always finds his way into the money at this level and can be considered underneath at a huge price.
Race 3 – F&M NW5000 in last 5
(4) PASULTIMATEDELITE N hasn’t seen this low a level in recent memory and seems about time for the mare to wake up. (2) MASSIVE ATTACK A has raced well locally in her last few and returns inside into a good inside spot. (3) SHADY STELLA has gone bad in a hurry for Allard but a quick form reversal wouldn’t be that shocking, would it? (1) OUR GAMMA LADY N should be close up throughout which obviously gives her a chance at a piece.
Race 4 – F&M NW5000 in last 5
(2) LK’S NANCY LEE dropped to this basement claiming level and responded with a much better try, just getting collard late. Allard trainee definitely deserves top billing off that effort. (3) FRANNEY LOVE DAT was a ridiculous morning line last week, predictably got bet down but didn’t fire on the rim; she’s listed at 15/1 tonight, will get bet again, and is clearly capable of better. (5) ISLAY N paced evenly last out at Philly and the Garcia-Herrera trainee should fit well here. (6) CRUISINWITHMYBABY has good early speed; does Bongiorno take a shot at a big price?
Race 5 – NW5000 in last 5
(3) GRAND MASTER caught a pretty good field on last week’s dropdown and didn’t fire; he still pays the bills by stepping up once in a while at this NW5000 level. (1) QUALITY CLOSER was nailed late last week and figures to be setting the pace again. (4) ONE TO DRAW TO fired home with plenty late to make it close at the end; late threat again. (5) MCRAVEN ships in for Surick looking for some sort of wakeup call.
Race 6 – NW5000 in last 5
(1) SHANE ADAM dropped to this level last week and was caught having to move uncovered into a quick mile; Bartlett will likely control the action tonight which will make the Banca trainee very tough. (4) MARTY MONKHOUSER A returns locally off a win upstate and he’s done good things at this level in the past. (5) ROCK N BLUE qualified well after stopping badly on the front end when plummeting to this level; who knows what to expect. (6) ZOEEZ BOY HENRY can close late for a piece.
Race 7 – F&M NW10000 in last 5
(5) FREEZE OUT has never been the most reliable horse out there but when right she’s better than these and she does return to Yonkers off a couple of solid efforts at Saratoga. (3) KEENE OLIVIA just missed last week and the Surick trainee fits this level well. (1) AMATEUR HOUR sat the rail with little to offer last out and now she draws best again; do we see some speed from her? (8) MISS IRISH ROSE A returns locally for Stalbaum and lands in the worst post; with some early aggression and racing luck she can land a share at a big price.
Race 8 – F&M NW10000 in last 5
(5) MORE THAN MANY gets to drop to the NW10000 level off a couple of third place finishes against better; Laterza trainee has beaten this type many times in the past. (2) JUXTA COWGIRL has faced better than these in the past and returns locally off some failed speed tries at Pocono. (3) DALI DELIGHT has transitioned to the optional $20K claiming level after switching barns about 100 weeks in a row; I don’t think she can beat these but she’ll come away with some money. (6) GINA GRACE N is another returning Stalbaum veteran and she’s also done well here in the past.
Race 9 – NW10000 in last 5
(2) GRIFFON HANOVER was right there six back while facing better than these and the Fanning trainee can take this with a smooth trip. (6) THOR DE VIE was overmatched in the Graduate and it’s hard to say where the 4-year-old fits best but she should be live here. (5) SPORTS BETTOR should go better with the class relief. (7) FIREBALL has been good recently out of town; consider for the bottom of the ticket at a big price.
Race 10 – NW20000 in last 5
(3) TECHTOR HANOVER gets needed post relief off a decent rally for a board spot last week; I would be shocked if Zeron wasn’t controlling the action here. (4) DREAM OUT LOUD N returns locally off some sharp tries at Philly and the 12-year-old classmaster can land a big share here. (5) ROLL AWAY JOE makes his second start back in the Morrissey barn, where he’s had plenty of success. (1) ABERDEEN HANOVER has been good recently for Vallee and even picked up a rare win three back.
Race 11 – NW10000 in last 5
(6) MADMAN HALL gets an important driver change to Stratton and the Schnittker trainee can respond positively. (1) OOH RAH is always a player at this level, especially from inside, and he’s been behaving himself recently as well. (4) DREAM MASSIVE picks up Bartlett upon arrival and merits a look. (2) WILD SMILE is at his best a level down but the veteran can land a smaller share here.
Race 12 – NW5000 in last 5
(2) BULLVILLE KYLE raced pretty well last week with Bartlett driving and he sticks around tonight as well; veteran is always good for a couple of wins a year. (7) E Z NOAH gets a free ride at this level off a win; can Zeron get some early speed out of him. (8) THIRTY TWO RED gets a catch-driver in the bike (Marohn) and will likely be ignored at the windows. (4) SETTLEMOIR is tough to gauge for a barn that’s really struggled this year; don’t take too short of a price.
