MEET STATS: 189 - 891 / $1,337.50 BEST BETS: 21 - 75 / $99.30
Best Bet: ROCK N ROLL WORLD (8th)
Spot Play: MUSCLES N SPICE (6th)
Race 1
(2) PRINCE ALAND showed signs of life last out; capable of getting the job done over these. (1) RANSOM DEMAND closed well to miss by only a neck; threat from the rail. (4) BELL I NO is back at Yonkers where he was a game winner on August 6th; watch out.
Race 2
(1) TSWALU Canadian invader has good early trot; should be ready to fire his best from the pole position. (4) JERICHO went down the road for all the glory at Batavia last out; was a solid winner here on August 10; main danger. (2) BETTER TO BE LUCKY is much better than his latest; can't count this one out
Race 3
(4) OLD MAN CLEARY was nailed for win honors last time around; pacer appears to be in solid form; with that said, he can top these at his best. (5) ANGS DELIGHT was first over throughout his last trip at Pocono; is better than his previous start so he must be considered. (6) SPIRIT OF TRUTH has good speed and is clearly not out of this.
Race 4
(5) NICE DREAM catches a weak group of trotters; with a return to his August 21 start at Saratoga, it could be game over for the rest of these; we shall see. (1) PRINCE LAUXMONT moves down in class; the rail slot should help his cause; maybe. (6) BAILEYS WISH has flashed speed; could land a share of the purse.
Race 5
(2) SUPERIORCOURT Upstate shipper is knocking at the door based on his last three tries; good to see Brennan with the assignment; threat at his best. (3) MARATHON MAN led every step of the way but tired in the stretch drive at Freehold last time out; could contend with these. (4) CAPTURETHEMEMORY led from start to finish in his latest outing; dangerous despite the rise in class.
Race 6
(2) MUSCLES AND SPICE did not fire in his last start; gelding gets a cozy post and might make today a winning one. (1) BATTLE MAGE closed late to grab the show spot last time around; player. (4) SAVIANO AS was nailed for the victory against lesser company in his recent try; could land a share against these.
Race 7
(2) MCCITO was second best last out for this 3-year-old gelding; all systems to for him to put it all together. (1) YANKEE HEAVEN Sharp in his last two tries at Philly makes this guy a major factor in here. (3) MISTER SKITTER gets post relief and that should help his cause; watch out.
Race 8
(1) ROCK N ROLL WORLD moves way down the ladder; gets the rail slot and should clearly be the one to deny. (2) ULTIMATE G gets a nice post to work with; second best. (7) ARROW showed some early zip last out; completes the trifecta.
Race 9
This seems to be a perfect spot for (3) MACKS GOLD BAND to get back into the winner's circle; based on his last two, he's the pick over these. (5) BRICKYARD CLASSIC closed well to nail down the place spot on September 8th; contender. (2) SEDUCE A STRANGER She moves down in class and does have good early trot; beware.
Race 10
(2) IM FABULOUS 10-year-old trotting mare has showed speed in her last two starts; if she returns to her back class, the rest will have to settle for second money; we shall see. (1) JESSES STORY gets serious post relief and that should put this gal right in the mix. (6) JAILHOUSE JESSICA put in a nice run for the victory at Tioga last time out; she's capable.
Race 11
(1) FOREVER AS is on a roll scoring her fifth straight victory; retains the rail slot; Brennan stays in the bike; surely this gal is the one to fear. (7) THE LEHIGH LEGEND was sent by Sears down the road last out for all the glory; post hurts but she is very capable; must be considered. (2) WYGANT PRINCESS should fare well from the 2-hole where she was a game second on August 11th; watch out.
Race 12
(6) ROLLIN RING AFIRE gets serious class relief; pacing colt seems to fit well with this group and a score is not out of the question. (4) ABERDEEN HANOVER needs a return to his August 25th trip to contend with this group; quite possible. (1) DOUBLE YOUR BET Sharp in victory against lesser last time out; don't count him out despite the rise in class.
