MEET STATS: 378 - 1100 / $2,070.00
BEST BETS: 50 - 90 / $164.90
Best Bet: IDEAL COWBOY (11th)
Spot Play: SANTANNA ONE (3rd)
Race 1
(3) GRIN FOR MONEY ships in sharp from Canada and joins the Milici barn; Bartlett's choice of three live ones in here. (1) SO BAD IM GOOD gets much-needed post relief and is a logical player. (5) ITSONLYROCKNROLL A was overmatched last week versus 40K claimers; gelding has ability but needs to find the right level.
Race 2
(7) WHAT I BELIEVE has to contend with the outside post but he's been razor-sharp. (6) P L HELLCAT did flash early speed then did little else on a night that the Milici horses weren't firing; he will be on the move early. (2) MAGIC MANNY qualified willingly.
Race 3
(4) SANTANNA ONE is reunited with Bartlett and finds a pretty soft spot here off a decent closing effort last out; lots to like. (1) DRUNKEN DESIRE A was second best in his last two at this level from inside posts. (5) SHADY CITY is capable but needs a good setup.
Race 4
(1) STARSKY'S DREAM N could not fire off cover last out but two back he jogged at this level in his debut for Milici. (3) MOONWRITER ships from Mohawk for the capable Andrew Harris barn and he looks like a good fit here. (2) TYLER was used too hard in the early stages last week; prior efforts were good.
Race 5
(1) SOHO JACKMAN A was a sharp winner four back at this level and he should be in line for a live trip from the best post. (4) SNAP TO IT A was going nowhere last week up in class and from the outside post but he was a winner two back from a similar post. (6) MACHS BEACH BOY has shown flashes of his former self recently; Dube drives tonight.
Race 6
(5) P H SUPERCAM appears to be the class of this contest and the veteran should find a way to get the job done. (3) BIG N BAD had no realistic chance in his last three; class and post relief helps. (1) SOMEWHERE FANCY bumps up to face tougher off a win and the Allard trainee has been sharp.
Race 7
(1) BLOOD BROTHER has been begging for an inside post and he finally gets it tonight; down the road. (3) BORDER CONTROL A has made his way up the class ladder for the Milici barn and he could be in line for a live trip. (8) ROCK N ROLL WORLD has been razor sharp winning his last two but he's assigned outside tonight in a race with plenty of early speed signed on.
Race 8
(5) BIT OF A LEGEND N was second best to Wiggle It Jiggleit last out in that 250K invite after chasing from the pocket; assuming he's put in play early he's got a huge chance versus these. (2) KEYSTONE VELOCITY was nailed in a tough beat last week after airing it out on the front end in his second start for the Allard barn. (7) TAKE IT BACK TERRY has been super in his last two with Lasix added but he will likely have too far to come tonight.
Race 9
(3) TENDTOWIN has had his moments and appears overdue; gelding draws well enough in a very shaky field. (2) KEYSTONE HONOR is usually live from inside posts. (1) SOMETIMES SAID could show more in his second start off the brief vacation.
Race 10
(5) MASTERSON raced pretty well to be second best to the front-running (1) DOJEA SOLO last week; perhaps he reaches tonight. The latter has been a solid speed commodity all season and he draws best here; one to catch. (4) SPORTSKEEPER has raced well in all recent starts off less-than-ideal trips.
Race 11
(5) IDEAL COWBOY returns from a sharp off-the-pace score at Philly and the Bamond trainee has always raced well here; Bartlett's choice. (4) ST LADS MOONWALK has raced well in his last three upstate. (6) MCERLEAN rallied for a small share last out and he's more than capable when in the mood.
Race 12
(1) WESTERN ROCKSTAR A was rebuffed by the sharp winner last out but he can rebound given the post relief. (5) TWIN B IMPRESSIVE has been just that taking his last two local efforts by open lengths. (3) SECOND WIND N has been close up in all recent.
