RACE 1 - (8) FOREVER FAV was on a VERY long form spree (at the top levels) before a sick scratch in
February seemed to slow him down a bit - has looked better the last couple of starts as he's started to move
back down the class ladder, and he's at a level tonight where he has a decent chance to turn things around...
even from Post 8 - he faces a few solid foes in here, but we'll still give him top billing. (7) BIZYS BEATLE
was an easy wire to wire winner in his local debut, scoring as the prohibitive choice for the Dynamic Duo -
draws outside while moving up in class, but remains a major threat. (1) IDEAL ARTILLERY drops in class
while drawing the pole and would normally have been the clear choice...had he not drawn in with a couple
of pretty good rivals - he may be able to use his post advantage to pull it off anyway. (3) HUNDIE N drops
to a level where he figures to thrive but as noted, this is a pretty good field for this level - ok for exotics. (6)
MARTY MONKHOUSER A returns from NJ to his favorite track but lands in a pretty tough spot - classy
veteran playable underneath, but may need a little easier field before getting his picture taken. (2) CLAYT
ONS BETTOR N is 0 for 11 on the year and that's facing mostly cheaper - minor piece only. (4) SMOKIN
BY N has been ok lately, but really needs easier to be a serious player. (5) SAILBOAT HANOVER can pop
a good one now and then....but against much easier competition.
RACE 2 - (2) MOHAWK WARRIOR has remained sharp since trouncing the bottom class 3 back, and his
barn has really started to heat back up - catches a few vulnerable rivals tonight, and definitely seems like a
decent value play. (3) RAUKAPUKA RULER N figures to get hammered at the windows off the big class
drop, and this just may be the spot where he starts to turn things around - would be no surprise at all to see
him wire these but at the very short expected price, he may be worth taking a shot against. (5) MR KELLY
gets post relief from last week, and he was a $40K claim here not all that long ago - might be able to pick
up a decent piece tonight. (4) OURRHYTHMNBLUES N used a good trip to score in his local debut, then
came up 2nd best last week after cutting the mile - sharp enough to handle the class jump, and belongs in
exotics. (1) SHNEONUCRZYDIAMND A can be frustratingly inconsistent, and his lesser efforts have
exceeded his better ones for some time - will consider for exotics only in the price is decent. (8) FIZZING
N wasn't bad last week but lands another horrible post, and may need to wait for a better spot to be a legit
player again. (6) GINGER TREE PETE has really been struggling, and would need a major form reversal
to be a player...especially from out here. (7) FLYING FINN N doesn't seem sharp enough right now to be a
threat from Post 7 - wait for a better scenario.
RACE 3 - (1) ZOEEZ BOY HENRY got some post relief last week but still ended up with a less than
stellar trip before finishing well for 3rd - he's overdue for some better luck to shine on him, and perhaps it'll
be tonight, from the pole - one of several possible players in this competitive bottom claimer. (4) COACH
CAL was handled aggressively last week and came up a solid 2nd best to #8 - a similar effort would make
him a major threat tonight from this spot. (5) PANTHEON HANOVER got caught behind horrendous
cover last week and lost all chance - he definitely fits with these, and is another with a chance in here if
some decent trip luck comes his way. (8) CARRACCI HANOVER was a good 2nd when claimed 2 back,
then looked very good for his new connections last week, safely wiring these - COULD repeat, but it does
figure to be a bit harder from Post 8. (6) SILENT SPLENDOR drops from 20s to 12.5s after coming to a
crawl last week - he may wire these easily or back through the field again....or just about anything in
between -- tough call! (3) LOTTERY WINNER quickly reverted to old bad habits debuting for a new barn
last week - he's another that's almost impossible to gauge for tonight (but he was sent off at 1/2 last week
and will be a much bigger price tonight, if you want to stay on board)! (2) DEERFIELD BEACH hasn't
done too well here the past couple of years...and that includes last week. (7) CONSTNTLYSIDEWYS A is
1 for 30 over the past 2 years, with that win coming in the Fhd. basement - sticking with others.
RACE 4 - (2) AMERICANLIGHTNINGN won his first 2 U.S. starts impressively, then came up 2nd best
to a pair of very sharp winners - faces another recent import tonight, but we'll guess that he may have a
conditioning edge, and give him the nod. (3) PACE N PRIDE N makes his U.S. debut tonight for a barn
that certainly has an outstanding track record with these types - his qualifier suggests he could be ready
right off the bat, and he may be able to give the top choice a serious tussle here. (7) UCANTTOUCHTHIS
seemed short when he made his 2022 return here on 3/1 but he changed barns right after that, and has been
thriving in NJ ever since - can have a big say here, despite the terrible draw. (4) BONDI SHAKE N is
another Down Under import that has been doing solid work since arriving - gets a pass for last week (very
hard used early), and could easily land somewhere on the ticket tonight. (5) HIGH ST CORRIDOR also
gets a pass for his most recent, as he was also a big part of that brutal opening quarter - look for a quick
rebound, and a chance at a piece. (1) BALI BEACH appreciated the class relief and was able to wire softer
in his last - may not fare as well against these better ones, however (6) SAULSBROOK HERO raced better
last start, but figures to be coming from well out of it tonight, (8) MAKIN SOME NOISE was used hard in
his last couple and now lands Post 8 - waiting for a better spot.
RACE 5 - (7) CIGAR SMOKING TONY was in a no chance spot for his YR return but still rallied nicely
into the teeth of a :55.1 final half to pick up 4th - meets nothing too scary in here, and we'll give him a shot,
even from Post 7. (4) BLOOD BROTHER changed barns last week and definitely raced better - can be a
player here if he continues on that same trajectory. (3) MISSION BAY was underway early from well back
last week and never had a realistic chance - an easier trip tonight could put him in play for a decent chunk
of this. (2) TRU LOU didn't click in his 2 NJ starts since the barn change, but may do better with the locals
- include in exotics. (5) LATE MAIL N hasn't really worked out since being taken for $30K earlier this year
but he finally picked up a win (vs. cheaper) at Fhd. - we'll see if he can build off that mile, and contend for
a piece tonight. (1) ZACH MAGUIRE N has just ONE 2nd from 30 starts over the last 2 years - we'll see if
the rail draw can at least help him bring home a minor check. (6) WARDAN EXPRESS A was extremely
overdriven last week and not up for it all - moves outside now, and may have a hard time getting into the
hunt. (8) STARK HANOVER was struggling before the recent claim...and has struggled for his new
connections as well - waiting for better signs....and a better spot.
RACE 6 - (4) UNCONTROLLABLE was an ok 4th in his first start of the year, then just toured the oval
after drawing a couple of outside posts - went an even effort at Chester last week (against older foes), and
MAY be ready for a stronger try locally - one of many possibilities in what stacks up as a wide open affair.
(8) MIDNIGHT REBEL ended up in a no-prayer spot in his 2022 return but really wasn't bad - another bad
draw won't help and his poor win % is a concern too...but this still may not be a bad week to at least
consider, if the price is right. (3) BORN A REBEL steps up a notch off last week's front end score but he
still fits very well with these too - legitimate threat to take his 3rd in a row. (2) GOTAFOOLISHDESIRE
was disappointing last week, unable to fully sustain his bid into the stretch after a fairly easy trip - willing
to include underneath. (7) SPORTS SECTION is a steady player that certainly fits nicely - not sure he can
overcome the draw, though, and would need to be a pretty good price to consider on top. (1) HES GONNA
GETYA just gapped the entire way last week, fortunate to take home 5th - will need to be a lot better here.
(5) PINEBUSH LIFESAVER raced ok in his last couple, and may be worth including for 3rd/4th. (6) A B
COLLINS just seems a bit below these.
RACE 7 - (5) PEACE OUT POSSE qualified like he'd be ready and that was certainly the case, as he swept
the field (at Fhd.) from last to first in his first start of 2022 - this is much tougher bunch, but he's battled
better than this in the past - worth a play here, as long as he's not overbet. (4) SHADOW CAT is always
solid at this level and came up 2nd best to a VERY sharp winner in his last - legitimate threat. (3) ROCKIN
SPEED had no prayer from Post 8 arriving from The Swamp last week but tonight could be another story -
look for a much more involved effort here, with a chance to be part of the equation. (2) DELIGHTFUL TE
RROR is taking a double jump in class tonight, but he just missed last week to an Open performer - sharp
enough right now to make a lot of noise against these too. (1) TWIN B TUFFENEUFF hasn't felt like he's
been at his absolute best lately, but he's still more than good enough to contend with these, especially from
the pole - belongs in exotics. (6) AINTNOBETTOR A is good right now, but could really use a class drop
and better post - tough spot here. (8) MACH N CHEESE wasn't a bad 4th last week but will need some trip
luck just for a chance at a piece from out here. (7) ENVIRONS HANOVER has been riding a long streak of
bad luck...and tonight's draw will probably keep him from doing any real damage as well.
RACE 8 - Tough race: (7) THEBIZNES BLUECHIP showed a ton of promise in his first 2 starts at 2 but
tailed quickly, and was on the shelf for the season - wasn't quite ready for last week's 1:53.3 mile in his first
start back as a 3YO, but he didn't finish all that far back either - might be ready to deliver a much bigger
effort in his 2nd off the layoff. (8) GIBOR shipped in off a couple of nice looking off the pace tries at PcD
and came up a strong 2nd best from the pocket (in the same race as #7) - looking at a much tougher trip
from out here, but still might be able to have a big say. (2) RIGHTHERERIGHTNOW was blocked with
plenty of pace in his local debut, but got lost at the back last week from Post 8 - should be a LOT more
involved with the move inside here, and definitely a possibility in this wide open affair. (1) RENO
DINERO was racing ok in Illinois this winter, and just missed at PcD two starts back - could be a live
player from start to finish with the rail draw. (5) A SHORE LEGACY never got close from Post 7 in his
local debut but was doing some good work in PA prior to that - another that may be able to find a much
better effort this time around. (6) MOMENTSTHATMATTER has been away for 3 weeks as he was in
transit from Florida - he does get a big barn change, and he did win a race here as a 2YO - give the tote
board a glance before dismissing this one. (4) PARTY CENTRAL was just ok in a couple of PcD starts -
may continue to get better, but we'll probably focus on others for tonight. (3) ETBAUER did some decent
work at 2, but is still looking to find his form after a couple of 3YO starts - license to be better tonight.
RACE 9 - (5) ROGERTHAT BLUECHIP shipped in sharp from NJ but was hurt by poor cover and got
rolling way too late to be a threat last week - he'll be shorter than that 9-1 price from last week, but should
still offer enough value to be worth using on top. (1) SHERIFF N has been inconsistent since returning
from the layoff this February but the classy veteran still throws enough good effort to be considered a big
threat here - that 8/5 ML price is definitely a turn off, however. (2) MARINER SEELSTER draws inside,
and has hit board in 8 of 11 starts this year - would prefer to see him in a little cheaper, but he can still be a
big player from this spot. (4) EL JACKO N seems to have gone a bit off form, but can quickly become a
contender here if he can find his best effort - consider if the price is decent. (7) DESIRES CAPTAIN moves
up in class while landing Post 7 for his new barn - he's sharp now, but may be looking at only a smaller
piece from this tough spot. (6) I GET THAT has missed 3 weeks (after a sick scratch) and figures to be
coming from well back - not sure he can get close enough to be a threat this week. (3) YOUMAKEM
YHEARTSING arrives from Ohio and seems to be very ambitiously placed vs. the 40s.
RACE 10 - MANY of these can come out on top, depending on how the race plays out: (4) MILLWOOD
BONNIE N was hurt by a terrible drive last week, needlessly forcing a wild :26.1 only to get away 3rd
anyway, then couldn't wait to pull first over into the sizzling :54.3 half - obviously she gets a pass for
eventually tiring, and her prior recent efforts were very good - will offer decent value this week. (1) WOO
DMERE SKYROLLER worked out a perfect pocket trip last time and converted it into a victory - very
possible she could trip out, and land in the winner's circle once again. (3) CHUPPAH ON gives a solid
effort week after week, and was a game winner 3 back - the right trip could see her coming out on top once
more. (2) SLY ELEANOR N never looms pretty, but she's a very tough customer when the trip goes her
way (as it did last week) - always worth using whenever she's a decent price. (6) ELLAGATOR was well
backed (4-1) from Post 8 last time and ultra well meant....but she ended up parked every step and finally
gave way on the final turn - ass her name to the long list of possible winners. (8) MORNING HAS
BROKEN may be listed towards the bottom of these selections, but leave her off the ticket at your own risk
- she's won 3 of her last 5, and has shown several times that coming from well back doesn't mean she can't
win anyway! (5) TEAM KIWI N has a few good efforts but this is a stacked field, and she just seems a bit
below too many in here. (7) TRIZZLE TRAZZLE lands Post 7 off the qualifier - pass for tonight.
RACE 11 - (4) ALL HANDS ON DECK wasn't up for the very tough long uncovered journey last week
(against much better), but his overall recent form has been very sharp - gets major class relief here, and it
looks like a good spot for Bartlett to pick up a catch driving win for the Dynamic Duo (3) CONBOYVILLE
does his best racing near the lead, and he's been stuck racing from the back in his last couple - if he can get
away to a better start tonight, he may be able to add some value to the exotics. (2) VIRGIN STORM was
well off form for a long time, but seems to have found his better groove at Pocono recently - he got beat
here in the bottom class on 2/15, but seems capable of hanging with these (much) better ones the way he's
racing right now. (7) BETTER MEMORIES was a solid 2nd last week, although the live trip certainly
helped - can probably leave for a spot tonight, and that would give him a decent chance to land somewhere
on the ticket. (1) BILL HALEY N was a winner at 6/5 two back, but laid an egg in his lest (moving up in
class) - the big question for tonight is which version will show up! (6) MAXIMUS RED A charged from
way back to score at PcD for his new barn, then proved that mile was no fluke when he rallied from last
HERE to be a close 2nd - faces much tougher now, but may still be able to show up late for a piece. (8)
MIKES Z TAM is definitely getting back to his better form, and comes into tonight off a hard used, tough
loss 2nd to a tough foe - would have surely been listed much higher if not for the dreaded 8 hole. (5) SON
OF A TIGER N has been doing good work (in general) with lesser - not so sure he can hang with some of
these, though.
RACE 12 - (5) MIGHTY SANTANA N was bet down to 1/5 off the big class drop last week, blasted to the
top and gave nothing else a chance - moves up one notch tonight, but that probably shouldn't bother him at
all - should be a short price winner again tonight. (6) ALEX TYE was beating the 100s to start the year, but
got beat in a NW5000 race last week - he did go a pretty big mile, though, and may be able to do some
damage here tonight, even with the class jump. (3) EHRMANTROUT used an easy trip to finish 2nd
behind the top choice in last, and may be able to do the same tonight - include underneath. (1) TALBOTCR
EEKWHISKEY doesn't seem to be on his best game right now but he's a prolific Yonkers winner and does
draw the pole - could be time for a big wake up call? (4) WINDSUN RICKY hinted that he was ready to
come back to form after that easy Fhd. win but he quickly disappointed in his return to Yonkers - mixed
feelings about his chances for tonight. (7) TURBO HILL is pretty good right now but will likely have
plenty of speed to his inside, and he could be looking at a much tougher trip tonight. (2) LACHIE MAGUI
RE N just hasn't been sharp enough in too many of his recent starts - sticking with more reliable players
tonight. (8) SPOILERONTHEBEACH perked up in his last 2 at lower levels, but now moves up and lands
Post 8, and that could slow him down considerably.
