RACE 1
7-Stormont Czar A – Rob Harmon rallied to win a division last week with Big Jer, this is a class drop supreme who’s been racing well against better @ Pocono
3-Village Jackson – Blew up the board @ 56-1 & took a new mark of 1:51.1 two starts, then had no say from post eight in a 1:51 mile, fresh claim draws better against some softer GSY types
2-Ascot Encounter A – Turned his game around with a sharp, yet premature move to a late lead & just missed, drops back to the GSY Series with Hurricane Hannah from an improved post
RACE 2
5-Pepper Guy – Badly beaten favorite @ Harrah’s Philadelphia continues his descent down the class ladder for Brett Pelling, his lone win this season came here
3-All It Takes – Burned the chalk players when he simply got too revved up & came to a halt last week, 1:50.1 winner @ The Big M gets another big shot at this bottom condition level
6-I’m Sid The Kid – Has failed to fire since the Danielle Dailey reclaim, but lands in real soft spot here, the right speed target & well-timed move could spell upset
RACE 3
6-Spondulicks N – Beat these wire-to-wire as the heavy favorite on June 8, solid runner up last week to the repeating In Rock We Trust, tactical speed & form in his favor
4-Every Way Out – Beaten favorite used pretty hard from post eight to maintain the lead, has had a couple of weeks to regroup, draws better & was NJSS champion at 2 & 3
5-David The Saint – Responded to some freshening & steamrolled first over to a mild upset last week, chance to set up a stalking trip from midpack & looms as a logical repeat threat
RACE 4
3-Windsun Brooklyn – Made it four in a row when she took a new mark of 1:52.1 in her Big M debut two starts back, simply had no chance after a slow start from post eight last, now moves to be more forwardly placed
1-Pace Baby Pace – Somehow kept it going first over into a quickening pace & scored a 7-1 upset in a career best 1:52.1 last week, maybe the best of the Burke-tuned trio in here, back on the rail to prove it was no fluke
2-Well Said Maria – Left hard from post ten & emerged from a shuffle to grab the show spot behind Pace Baby Pace last week, moves inside for a chance to turn the tables
RACE 5
7-Live On – Ran into a relatively fast 1:50.4 winner last week, been chasing tougher recently, draws a more demanding post, but he knows how to get it done here
1-Rock Three Times – Came to within a fifth of his lifetime mark with a solid score in his Big M debut last week, continues to take advantage of this class relief scenario with another inside draw
2-Big Jer – Unleashed a wide rally to score an overdue win in the GSY Series with Rob Harmon, now gets an inside post off that confidence-boosting experience
RACE 6
3-Prince Of Minto – Just missed an upset with a stalking trip @ Harrah’s Philadelphia three starts back, pace compromised & too far back last week, now gets class & some post relief in a field begging to be beaten
8-Money Maven – Still relatively fresh for Team Orange Crush, sat a two-hole & followed big favorite Explosive Ridge with a much-improved effort last week, tougher post, but going in the right direction
4-Mugshot Jess – An even fourth last week off the sick scratch, made a quick adjustment to the mile track with a solid second back on May 31, lands post four again to show improvement
RACE 7
10-Power Dreaming N – Pretty convincing winner at better than 16-1 in a well-meant Big M debut from post 9, look for him to blast of again off that lifetime best
6-Rocks Noble Artist – 4YO scored a lively win when he dropped to this rating last week off the sick scratch, figures to show even more of his upside with another stalking trip
7-Tailgunner Hanover – Stormed home in :26.3 to score an upset in a sparkling Big M debut, then was forced into a premature move as the beaten favorite, at the mercy of the pace & trip, yet look for him to make one big late lunge
RACE 8
6-JK Parlay – Gets class relief off a horrible trip from post eight, just missed with a sharp move before that, 1:50.2 winner here this season has a chance to bounce back in a wide-open field
2-Quality Bud – Has been pretty consistent a notch above this recently, off an unusually slow start this Big M lover now gets class & post relief
9-Sams A Champ A – Managed to work out an ideal second over trip from post ten off a rated pace & came up just a neck shy last week, remains at this reduced level & a similar effort makes him a serious player
RACE 9
3-Music Is Art – Bumped into a 1:49 winner in his return to the mile track last week, 1:48.3 winner here last season, drops into a prime spot & draws inside again
8-Big Stretch Mark – Was a sharp winner at this level from post nine back on June 1, look for him to utilize his tactical speed to secure a stalking trip
4-Change Stride N – One for 16 this season, but has been hinting in a positive direction, just missed out off shuffle with pace at both ends when bumped up last week
RACE 10
6-Sweet Rock – Beaten favorite was torched n scorched while parked in a fast pace last week, 1:48.1 winner here this season has been chasing standout Highalator recently, has a big chance to rebound
7-Shneonucrzydiamnd A – Grinded through a :26.4 third quarter & still had enough to gun down a good one in New Talent from post ten, fresh & steady Croghan trainee draws a bit better for the logical progression
5-Ocean Colony – The Ocean wades into deeper waters in full revival mode & fresh off a tripped out lifetime best 1:49 last week, really getting along with Eric Abbatiello & can keep it going
RACE 11
6-Messi N – Came to life with a wide, menacing move to a late lead last week, bumped up for his third start off a sick scratch, 1:50.4 winner @ The Big M last season looms as a price play for The Mann
2-Bravo Tex N – 0 for 17 this season, got off to a decent start here this month with a strong third, then a fourth, toss out his latest, drops into a likely spot & draws inside for Team Harmon
4-Sports Vision – Robert Ginsberg, Jr. figured this one out quickly, just missed in the comebacker, then a solid second to Century Churchill, attacked first over & hung in there until late last week, chance to work out another stalking trip
RACE 12
3-Taramakaureactor N – Some day Bill Mann will figure out this NZ bred & he will jog, was dropping the right hints before the late miscue last week, draws inside again to atone
7-Just N Berlander – Stormed home from a tough spot to take a GSY Series division two starts back, deep closer reunited with Eric Abbatiello in a wild scramble
8-Haymich – Interesting 3YO makes his second start for trainer Chris Marino, demanding draw here, yet this lightly-raced prospect could surprise this camera-shy bunch
RACE 13
2-The Rock – We’ve seen his act here in the past, making only his fifth start of he season & third off the bench for Team Buter, draws well to sit a patient trip, hope for some fractions & pounce on this highly vulnerable field
7-Daylyn Horizon – Got the necessary speed target to shoot at & credit Marcus Miller with a well-timed move to pull the upset in his third start off a sick scratch, lands a tougher post off that new lifetime mark
3-Mccito – Was eager to fire out from post seven in :26.3 & came up just a length shy of surprise winner Daylon Horizon last week, finally draws a better post to battle his case of seconditis
RACE 14
9-Shady Mccoy – Drops to the bottom condition off a rare break last week, runner up from post nine three starts back, Eric Abbatiello has a Big M lover who can rebound
3-Masster Blue – Came out of a shuffle with a solid third while showing trot at both ends last week, just one for 22 this season, but lands an improved post
8-Arch Credit – 1:55.3 winner in the slop here this season returns fresh off a confidence-boosting wire-to-wire win from post nine @ Vernon Downs, expect him to blast off here
