RACE 1 - (2) ROLL WITH SHORTY picked up a couple of ok 3rds to start her 3YO campaign then was a
sharp 2nd in her last, unlucky that the winner got out ahead of her on the back side - gets the narrow edge in
what shapes up as a well matched opener. (3) QUICK SIX was used hard early on at PcD last week, got
shuffled on the final turn but was still able to come back on late for 3rd - should fit nicely with the locals.
(4) ROCKIN GOOD TIME could be a good bomb here - showed marked improvement when 2nd here on
5/19, wasn't bad on 5/26, then was stuck first over vs. better in her last - may be able to be a player here, at
a nice price. (5) BEACHBLANKETLINDY ships in off a trio of 2nd place finishes at PcD, and will attract
plenty of attention at the windows - definitely a legit threat, but she's 1 for 15 and not worth taking a short
price with. (8) ADDI THREE showed a few good starts in Canada for a very low % barn before a recent
purchase - was hammered at the Stga. windows for her 2nd start and crushed 'em on the front end - seems
like a tough spot for her YR debut, but check the tote board for some clues. (1) PATTY JO M will show
good speed from the pole but it's the final quarter that's a concern - just seems a bit cheaper than some of
these. (6) IDEAL HANNAH is 0 for 18 at YR, draws outside, and looking at only a minor share. (7) DEL
DIGGITY figures to be in a tough spot even if the "good" version shows up tonight.
RACE 2 - (4) NEW YORK CHAPTER was absurdly overbet last week and he was never going to survive
the trip he was given - let's give him ONE more chance...and hope the price AND trip are a lot better! (2)
TORKIL made an unexpected break as the gate opened last week but his overall form has been decent for a
while - drop back down to the basement gives him a chance to be a legit player....with the right trip. (7)
OOH RAH may be a good bomb here - Marohn takes him over 2 others, he has the speed to leave when he
wants to, and hopefully that'll be the case tonight. (1) CASINO CUTIE IT will no doubt tale plenty of $$
with the class drop AND the pole - hasn't really been sharp in her last couple, though, and has just 1 win in
her last 17 local starts - mixed feelings. (8) CRAZYCAT got about as good a trip as you can from Post 8
last week and still couldn't get it done - not impossible, but would want a decent price to consider him from
out here again. (5) BROWNIE seems to race best when he just relaxes a long way then kicks home late -
that may work here, for a piece. (3) POSSESS THE STONE held gamely in last week's Amateur event
after parking a rival the whole way - he was a winner at Fhd. the last time he had a catch driver, but that
was vs. much cheaper - not impossible. (6) MARVELOUSTRIX probably fits ok but will be coming from
well back once again - waiting for a better draw for her.
RACE 3 - (7) SEA OF LOVE BC is worth a stab in here - came into her last off a sick scratch, was stuck
way in the back but paced a very strong final quarter to be a pretty close 3rd by the time they hit the wire -
at 10-1 ML, she's definitely worth using in a pretty wide open field. (3) RELAY ROLL showed instant after
the barn change on June 2, then was an even 4th at Buffalo last week - may be able to use her speed to
work out a good trip here. (4) GETTIN GONE was sent off at 3/5 in a soft field last week but blew up at
the start and was never in it - this bunch is definitely tougher, but her price will also be much better - can
see using her. (8) FRENCH SHAKER has been sharpening at Chester and should fit nicely here - she's just
1 for 17 lifetime though, and lands Post 7 for her YR debut....insist on a good price if using on top. (1)
ITALIA SEELSTER has the speed to sit a good trip from the pole tonight - just not sure if she can kick
home with the better ones at the end. (5) UPTOWN CALLIE can pick up small pieces when not used too
hard. (2) MAJOR LOVER has been trying to find her form for some time - still not ready to hop on her
team. (6) LOUD BRAZILLIAN needs to find a softer spot.
RACE 4 - (1) ROLL WITH ANGEL should be a good fit with these judging by the company she's been
keeping out of town - has had no trouble getting over the track in the past, and has more than enough speed
to work out a good trip...should even be a decent price. (8) BETTERB CHEVRON N would have been the
top pick had she drawn better - showed good life finishing in her last pair (vs. better), but she'll need some
trip luck to overcome Post 8 - not impossible. (7) COVEREDNDIAMONDS N appreciated the class drop
in last and put in an excellent effort for 2nd....she's another that will need to find a way to overcome her
poor draw, however. (5) SALLY FLETCHER A is pretty unreliable but when she's "right", she can be a
player against this type - use in exotics. (3) LYNBAR ROSE N was caught inside too long before shaking
free inside and it cost her a chance for a better piece - she might be a little cheaper than these, but she's ok
to include underneath at a good price. (6) ACEFORTYFOUR DOME has been pretty good since the recent
barn change, but she'll have her work cut out for her from Post 6 - 3rd/4th? (2) FOLLOWTHEWIND N
goes for a new barn tonight but she generally needs a softer soft to her damage - we'll see if she improves
with a change of scenery. (4) TRIPLE DIP has always shown plenty of ability...but has also been highly
erratic, and frequently on the shelf - qualified back for a new barn and looked her old self, getting way too
hot and hurting her own performance - we'll just watch, for now.
RACE 5 - (4) DELIGHTFUL Z TAM is off to a fast start at 3, sporting an impressive 8-4-3-0 so far - she
just keeps getting better every week, handles any trip that comes her way, and just seems too good for these
right now. (2) AVAYA HANOVER did well to hold 3rd last week after the top choice and Olivia Blu paced
away from the others in the stretch - should work out a good trip from this spot, and has a solid shot to land
somewhere on the ticket. (8) MY CAM GIRL raced better than the line looks from Post 8 two back, then
put in a very game first over try from the pole last week - unfortunately is stuck back on the extreme
outside, but still could add some value to the exotics with a bit of trip luck. (3) BEAUTY BAYAMA went
her best mile ever in that win 2 back, but didn't fare nearly as well moving up in class last week - small
piece only. (7) ROBMOTION BLUECHIP has picked up a check in all 6 local starts, including a win and 2
thirds - would have been ranked a little higher if not for yet another bad post. (6) WOODMERE HARRIET
broke early 2 back, then never got involved after a conservative start in last - she's better than that, and not
a bad one to throw in for 3rd, if spreading in trifectas. (5) TEMPURA HANOVER shipped in off a pair of
front end wins at Chester but didn't fare so well with the locals - prefer others, for now. (1) SKYLINE
HANOVER draws best for a sharp barn in her YR debut but not sure the ability is there.
RACE 6 - Tough race to find a winner: (6) ALKIPPE clearly outperformed her 30-1 price last week with a
multiple move 3rd from Post 8 - moves inside a bit, faces an overall softer field, and maybe she can get her
picture taken against these. (1) FREE EXCHANGE took some time off after a pair of clunkers in April -
hard to gauge off that qualifier, but she draws best for a sharp barn, and may be ready right out of the box.
(8) DIAMONDTOOTHGERTIE can beat much better than these when "right", but she was no good at all
off the class drop in last, and no guarantee that she'll be good tonight dropping again (especially from Post
8). (3) LIVELY ROCKET raced ok vs. better here not that long ago but her current Chester form doesn't
look all that enticing - suppose she has a chance here, even if by default. (4) ALL ABOUT AMY has been
dull lately but does own a win here this year - at least she'll be a nice price. (2) SWEET LOU will be helped
by the long overdue move inside, but her record here the past 2 years is hard to ignore (21-0-0-0). (5)
DEUCES FOR CHARITY has one 3rd in 15 starts here this year, and hasn't won here in eons - pass. (7)
BETABCOOL N may get a look when she moves inside - hard to back from out here, though.
RACE 7 - (4) MAN DONTFORGET ME has been racing well here all year but finally grabbed her first
win 3 back - was an excellent 8 hole 2nd to repeat winner Galleria Gal in her next, then finished full of
pace from way back in her last - gets important post relief tonight, and that will put her in a much better
spot - sharp enough to take this. (2) LARJON LEAH was very good in her first 2 local tries (close 2nd from
Post 8, then won her next) but just wasn't nearly as sharp in her next pair (even though 3rd, and 4th) - if she
can get back to that better form, she'll be a big threat here. (1) FIGHTING EVIL won 4 of 8 starts as a 2YO
and that last mile at The Meadows suggests she may be finding her stride now at 3 - would hardly be a
surprise. (3) WAKEMESHAKEME went the best mile of her career in that win 2 back, but wasn't as good
in her last, even though 2nd best - she's a bit of an enigma, and it's hard to know exactly what to expect
from week to week with her. (6) PRAY THE ROSARY is reliant on trip luck but if she finds room to roam
in the stretch, she may be able to kick home well enough to grab a piece...at a price. (8) HIGH MINDED
put in a good first over bid last week but got a bit rough on the final turn and lost her momentum - the
ability is here, but Post 8 definitely cause some difficulties. (5) SOMEBEACHSOMEFRA was "ok" last
week, but will need to be sharper for a chance at a decent piece here. (7) SPECIAL GRADUATE wasn't
bad at all last week after a terrible trip - she fits with these, but draws poorly and has an inexperienced pilot.
RACE 8 - (3) E R HILARY exits a top barn but moves to a barn that often improves horses no matter who
they take them from - may get the contested pace up front that she needs to make her good late kick pay off
(5) POPPY DRAYTON was handled aggressively off the class drop last week and dug in for the win -
moves up a notch but may have some renewed confidence off her last, and the barn is finally winning some
races again - possible. (1) FRANSCHOEK couldn't handle the first over trip 2 back but was a sharp winner
with that same journey in last - rail draw will help with the class hike, and she can't be discounted here. (4)
CINDERELLA DELIGHT drops back down to the level where she does her damage - might perk up with a
much better showing here. (6) QUITE A DELIGHT N wasn't at her nest for a couple of weeks but was well
backed in her last and rebounded with a very sharp first over score - moves up and draws Post 6, so that
may limit her a bit tonight. (7) KAITLYN N is certainly a lot more competitive at these levels than when
she was thrown to the wolves in the Matchmaker - would like her chances a lot better from the inside,
though. (2) SUDDEN CHANGE N throws a good one here and there and did beat cheaper here not long
ago - maybe use underneath? (8) CORAL BELLA isn't sharp and draws Post 8 - pass tonight.
RACE 9 - (4) MAGIC MVP sure looked like a solid play last week but he clearly didn't bring his best
effort - he drops right back in the box, and we'll assume that his connections will have him sharper this
week - giving him a chance to make amends. (6) MADHATTER BLUECHIP missed all of the 2020 season
but is having a solid comeback year so far in 2021 - current form is much better than that 20-1 ML price
would suggest, and he definitely deserves a spot on your tickets tonight. (1) SVF CASH DEPOSIT is hard
to gauge here - looked super in his first try off the claim, was ok again the best week but had excuses in his
last pair (8 hole vs. better, then broke in last) - Stratton opts off tonight but IF this guy gets back to his "A
Game", he can be a legitimate threat here. (7) IT AINT THE WHISKY has 4 wins this year and two right
on the program (in NJ) - tough draw upon arrival at YR, but he's worth a look if the price is right. (5) WILL
IE B WORTHY sat the perfect trip in his YR debut but couldn't get to the upset winner (#3) - looking at
only a smaller piece tonight. (3) MISS YOU KELLY had been an afterthought for some time but showed
up sharp last week and pulled off the front end upset - faces tougher now, and likely looking at a minor
slice only. (8) LIFETIME ROYALTY just isn't sharp enough right now to overcome this poor post. (2)
LIONHEAD will get a look when he drops back down to NW5000.
RACE 10 - (3) IDEAL ARTILLERY has been facing much better competition in those NW6 races and
meets nothing too sharp in this NW5000 field - the one to catch, and beat. (1) ARQUE HANOVER was
racing off a bad date last week, from Post 7, against better - gets right back in, drops and draws the pole,
and that should set him up as the main danger. (2) THUNDER SOME WHERE has shown that he can race
well at this level as long as you give him an easy trip - he should be able to take home a nice piece of this,
as long as Bartlett doesn't look to do too much with him. (4) RAPTORS FLIGHT N finished up well to
grab 3rd last week, and his trainer has certainly been enjoying the golden touch lately - include underneath.
(7) ALEPPO HANOVER is just 1 for 40 the past 2 years but he does grab his share of pieces - ok for 3rd/
4th, even from Post 7. (8) TALENT SOUP figures to be way out of this most of the way but his barn has
come to life recently - maybe include for 3rd/4th? (5) ULTIMATE FLYER N just doesn't seem sharp
enough to make much of a dent here. (6) BUSH MAN N is 0 for 34 the past 2 years and looks cheap.
RACE 11 - (7) KINDA LUCKY LINDY is simply much better than these...of course, that was also the
case when he dropped down to NW15000 last week and was sent off at 2/5 -- only to make a costly break
before the start - hopefully he'll be a bit better price tonight...and we'll look for him to make amends. (4)
LIMERE NCE crushed a NW5000 field 2 back then was an easy winner again stepping up to NW7500 for
his last - bumps up again tonight but this is an overall soft group, and he can be a big player once again. (5)
TOP FLIGHT ANGEL lost momentum when cut off at the half last week and was never able to get into the
race after that - gets some post relief here, and should have a much bigger say this time around. (1)
MUFASAAS broke 2 back but that was a night that many horses went offstride - came up flat in last, but
he's looking at an easy trip from this spot, and there's a good chance he can rebound with a much better
effort (6) LADY EAGLE is in a good way right now, but may be hurt by the move outside - willing to
include for a small piece. (3) WARRAWEE SHIPSHAPE has only been going evenly lately - maybe can
save ground and pick up a minor share? (2) SEVEN KNIGHTS really hasn't been sharp, and last week's
2nd was really thanks to trip and circumstance - prefer others. (8) WHETHER OR NOT FI broke 2 back
and actually broke before the start in his last, though it wasn't charted - goes for his 4th barn in 4 weeks,
and may need to wait for a better spot before we see his best again.
RACE 12 - (3) GLOBAL DOMINATION N has an outstanding local history, and returns at a level way
below what he's used to after a couple of tighteners across the river - fully expect him to handle these in the
finale. (1) GRIFFON HANOVER was in tough spots in his first 2 tries for this barn - gets full post relief for
tonight, and a wake up call could be coming his way. (2) ACTOR HANOVER has some mixed lines out of
town but any of his "good" races would land him a decent chunk of this. (4) TOPVILLE OLYMPIAN was
heavily backed here on 5/19 but just wasn't right and tired after cutting slow fractions - rebounded with a
pair of good miles out of town, and is another that will be vying for a board spot here. (7) HUDSEN A
disappointed off a pocket trip in his last local try but he's capable of better than that - at 20-1 ML, would
certainly consider him for 3rd/4th. (8) P H KENNY just doesn't seem sharp enough right now to make too
much noise here, even dropping down to NW5000. Both (5) MAJESTIC KIWI N and (6) ART HISTORY
would have to improve substantially to land any kind of piece here.
