# 3 IWANNABEADIVATOO 2/1
# 2 NIGHTWALKER 3/1
# 6 MISS NIKKI J 6/1
I've got to go with IWANNABEADIVATOO. She has been racing strongly recently while recording strong speed figures. With a very good 74 speed figure last time out, will unquestionably be a factor in this race. Must be given consideration given the class of races run lately. NIGHTWALKER - Handler has very solid win rate (20 percent) at this distance and surface. Could beat this field given the 69 speed fig posted in her last outing. MISS NIKKI J - She should be considered given the respectable speed figures. With a +1 ROI, this jockey and trainer duo has produced solid returns as of late for players.

# 7 FRANKY'S BEACH BOY 9/2
# 6 LOUIE'S SO BOSSY 4/1
# 1 CAPITAL BUILDER 3/1
FRANKY'S BEACH BOY has a really good shot to take this contest. He has been doing work very well and the speed figs are among the top in the group of animals. Could most definitely handle this field given the 85 TrackMaster SR achieved in his most recent outing. Really good driver/trainer, winning 32 percent of the time. Looks to be a magnificent wager. LOUIE'S SO BOSSY - Many harness players lean toward this gelding on the driver/conditioner figures alone. This nice horse will be greatly helped with Napolitano guiding. 22 percent winners the past month. CAPITAL BUILDER - Had one of the most favorable TrackMaster Speed Ratings of the field of horses in his last race. Must use in your bets.

My choice in this event is GLASGOW KISS. Last time out, this filly ran against a stronger bunch. In this field, this one is prominent in earnings per start in dirt sprint contests. She has very good class ratings, averaging 80, and has to be carefully examined in here. ALL D' NIGHT - Sanchez has recent return on investment figs which make this one a very good wager. HAIL TO ROCKNROLL - Has respectable Speed Figures and has to be considered for a bet for this event. Bettors using horses with this jock and handler combo have done soundly lately.

Rating:
#7 GO FOR A STROLL (ML=9/2)
#5 DANCE IN THE RAIN (ML=6/1)
GO FOR A STROLL - A first timer with this trainer. Fincher wins a 33 percent of the time in these here situations. Don't often see a profitable ROI like +60. This jockey/handler tandem has done well together over the last 12 months. Gelding had the second fastest workout of the day prepping for this. A great handicapping angle is 1st time Lasix. Fincher gives it to this one for this race. I like that this first-timer has been working over the Zia Park oval and makes his debut here today. DANCE IN THE RAIN - Rodriguez and Buechler getting together are a handicapper's friend. Colt is a 1st timer whose last three workouts were on this track. The addition of Lasix might make this equine wake up and smell the coffee today.
Vulnerable Contenders: #1 TIZ VALIANT (ML=3/1), #6 UNIQUE STORM (ML=4/1), #3 DIABOLICAL MILE (ML=5/1),
TIZ VALIANT - This racer hasn't been near the victor at the finish recently. UNIQUE STORM - Ran well to finish third on October 17th, but hasn't had even one blow out since then. DIABOLICAL MILE - This mount didn't go to the lead and didn't close in the lane last time he ran.

Look no further than OVERNIGHT SHIPPER as the bet today and could score at a price in here.

PC'S ALLEYWAY - A respectable play in here as he has one of the highest winning percents in the pack as well as excellent credentials all around. Surely think these two have a special working relationship. Sweeney sending the horse out means a really good chance to get the triumph. SAKIMA - Recent numbers for the driver - 25 percent win - make this gelding a top pick in the group of horses.

SPOT PLAYS: 31 – 126 / $203.20
Best Bet: NEVER ANY DOUBT (7th)
Spot Play: PAR INTENDED (9th)
Race 1
(2) OUTLAW GUNPOWDER went another long uncovered trip last week yet stayed game and fell inches short. A slightly easier trip should be coming from the inside here; top call. (6) LIFEIMITTATESART was flying late last time and he should be closer early here; using. (3) GIVE EM HECK is a front-end threat again off the claim after holding on to beat the choice. (8) JENKINS CREEK came with a bold rush late circling dead cover to win last week and he's another in with a shot in a contentious opener.
Race 2
(3) MAJESTIC PRESENCE improved sharply to win for Henriksen last week, circling up off excess cover in an impressive performance; call to repeat. (2) I WANT KANDY made a remarkable recovery after breaking to win the other division of this series last week; using. (1) ONE TOO MANY was out the route last week which was a hopeless trip. The inside post gives her a better chance here. (8) WHAMBAMTHANKYOUMAM lost a deep stretch lead to the choice and now she moves outside; smaller share predicted.
Race 3
(8) MAGICAL VALENTINE wasn't far back from the 10-hole last time. The smaller field helps here and she may leave a bit harder this time; slight nod. (4) SUNRISE AVENUE should get a much better trip moving to the middle of the gate here. She should be a top threat. (2) DEVILS ADVOCATE has been coming around for Vanderkemp. A win here would be no surprise. (6) WORK THAT MAGIC will likely revert to a stalking style, which should bring a better result.
Race 4
(4) LADY JEN almost won when leaving from the middle of the gate on October 7th. Expect a similarly aggressive drive here. (7) TARAHUMARA raced much better last time at Flamboro in the slop and she raced well here earlier in the meet; consider at a price. (9) REGAL ROXY has been solid since being claimed two back; using. (5) GROUND SHAKER has a great record this year and she should be a speed threat, at a minimum.
Race 5
(2) QUEENOFTHEJUNGLE made two moves last week and was only passed late for the win. I'll give her the nod here leaving from a good post. (1) TRILIFE had good speed early and late to win last week. You have to toss her on Pick 4 and Pick 5 tickets. (7) DRIFT PANIC may show more early foot this time in her 2nd start over the track; using. (9) TOP ROYAL is as game as they come, but post 9 could prove troublesome for her here.
Race 6
(4) ESCUELA was closing well late last week. She looks better than most in this wide-open head scratcher. (9) MJUSICAL SPELL was game despite being hung out last time. If he can clear quickly here, he may go all the way on the front. (8) P L HERCULES should improve with the class drop. (10) HUBBY NUMBER ONE fits this class well and he can share if he stays flat.
Race 7
(1) NEVER ANY DOUBT was just short in a game effort last week. She should be tough here leaving from the rail. (4) LADY MARINA can improve off last week's even comeback effort. (8) DOCS SAUSALITO is one of the better fillies in this series and she may bring another good price here because of the outer post. (10) LUCKY PLAYER may improve with Lasix added and crash the exotics here.
Race 8
(3) TYMAL WIZARD improved sharply last time when losing to a foe who was taking his fourth straight win; top call here. (7) GIRL DRAMA is in top form, but, notice that she is more likely to take a slice than a win most nights. (1) INCREADABLE FRANK can leave better here and stick around for a share. (4) MOST WANTED LINDY looks logical to hit the ticket as he has been doing most weeks.
Race 9
(8) PAR INTENDED responded well to McNair in the final 1/4 last week and produced an impressive late rush. That driver sticks here; call to repeat. (8) SPORTSMANSHIP went way too fast early last time and stopped badly. Back in with claimers, he should be able to get a breather at some point here. (4) LONEWOLF CURRIER stayed in last week in his first start over the track and got third. He could improve and get a more aggressive steer. (3) COBALT MAN brings good form with him from Flamboro. He is worth a long look here.
Race 10
(3) CATCH THE DREAM made a bold move to the front last time but he fell prey to a speed-killing surface. He can make amends here. (5) ETRUSCAN HANOVER roared up from well back to beat the choice then raced well in the Preferred. He is the main danger. (4) CASH FOR GOLD may find the two above too tough here; minor share predicted. (7) WILD AND CRAZY GUY can be a threat from on or near the pace, but he too is more likely to take a smaller share.
Race 11
(8) AWESOMENESS is on a roll and gets a positive driver change here. Expect aggression and another win. (3) CENTURY CHURCHILL took forever to break his maiden, but he is in good form and can take a big share here. (1) EAST END should race better here from the inside. Toss on vertical bets. (4) GATEWOOD should improve off his recent even effort. (6) ROCK POWER is a good one to use in the 3-4-5 slots here.

Yonkers: Monday 11/7 Analysis
By Matt Rose
DRF
MEET STATS: 391 - 1122 / $2,133.90
BEST BETS: 51 - 91 / $169.10
Best Bet: SKINNY DIPPER (4th)
Spot Play: HURRIKANE ALI (8th)
Race 1
(1) GRAND MASTER steps up in class off an easy wire-to-wire win and when he gets live he strings multiple good efforts together; Bartlett drives again. (2) PASS THEM BYE N gets needed post relief and may be the main threat. (3) MAXI BON has disappointed of late but he's capable with a well-timed move.
Race 2
(8) GALLANT SEELSTER is stuck outside but with an alert getaway he's more than capable. (1) UPFRONT COUNTRYBOY draws well for the first time in a few starts and he's got the back class to threaten. (3) A PLUS HANOVER has Sears driving for Banca and he was a pocket-sitting winner two back.
Race 3
(5) VIVA LA VORACIOUS gets a nice driver change to Zeron upon arrival from Saratoga and faces a suspect group. (2) FRISKIE ZENA was much-improved last out. (6) MI VIDA returns to Yonkers off a big upset score at The Meadows and she debuts for Milici with leading driver Bartlett; big threat.
Race 4
(5) SKINNY DIPPER destroyed these three back and was respectable in the Breeders Crown; extremely short price looming here. (1) PHOOS GIRL has raced well since arriving here from Canada for the Robertson barn. (7) ART CRITIC has Brennan driving for Burke; tough to toss out.
Race 5
(4) FROG POND PRINCESS hasn't put in a bad effort in quite some time and the filly should be live enough to gun these down. (3) HOT LEMONADE will be gunning to the front but she hasn't proven she can last the duration. (8) HUG A DRAGONESS exits stakes events for Burke but is stuck outside; Brennan should be looking to improve position early.
Race 6
(1) BALLERAT BOOMERANG has been very sharp since arriving from the Iowa fair circuit and he goes second-time Lasix from the best post; one to beat. (4) ROCKET J is a big threat if he minds his manners. (5) DUKE OF DELRAY ships in with just moderate success out of town; maybe the change in venue wakes him up.
Race 7
(3) ALL DOWN THE LINE was a sharp second two back versus similar; 3-year-old could get the best of these in a field with no standouts. (5) MAURICE has a live move in him; watch the board for early Lachance money. (7) ROLL WITH FRED was much better last out but I don't have much confidence in him; use underneath.
Race 8
(2) HURRIKANE ALI is an erratic type, much like many of these McDermott 'Hurrikane' trainees, but he's very fast when right. (1) BRED TO RACE gets much-needed post relief and will be much more involved from this spot. (4) REGAL SIGHT goes second-time Lasix and I think there's more here than meets the eye; use underneath at a price.
Race 9
(2) PRETTY BOY HILL lands inside again after having his race cancelled last week; Alagna trainee should be ready to roll. (8) DERICHO has been sharp and fits with these; I can't imagine Dube getting away last with him. (3) MIDNIGHT PASS gets an improved post and Bartlett drives again; he can be close up and land a board spot.
Race 10
(2) IN THE HUDDLE drew away easily last out and is sharp enough to repeat. (4) ACE OF CLUBS was a strong winner in his debut for Allard taking his third straight but he has little early speed and needs a pace up front. (5) THE ROCK has held his own recently versus better, more seasoned foes; include.

(5) SKINNY DIPPER destroyed these three back and was respectable in the Breeders Crown; extremely short price looming here. (1) PHOOS GIRL has raced well since arriving here from Canada for the Robertson barn. (7) ART CRITIC has Brennan driving for Burke; tough to toss out.
Race 5
(4) FROG POND PRINCESS hasn't put in a bad effort in quite some time and the filly should be live enough to gun these down. (3) HOT LEMONADE will be gunning to the front but she hasn't proven she can last the duration. (8) HUG A DRAGONESS exits stakes events for Burke but is stuck outside; Brennan should be looking to improve position early.
Race 6
(1) BALLERAT BOOMERANG has been very sharp since arriving from the Iowa fair circuit and he goes second-time Lasix from the best post; one to beat. (4) ROCKET J is a big threat if he minds his manners. (5) DUKE OF DELRAY ships in with just moderate success out of town; maybe the change in venue wakes him up.
Race 7
(3) ALL DOWN THE LINE was a sharp second two back versus similar; 3-year-old could get the best of these in a field with no standouts. (5) MAURICE has a live move in him; watch the board for early Lachance money. (7) ROLL WITH FRED was much better last out but I don't have much confidence in him; use underneath.
Race 8
(2) HURRIKANE ALI is an erratic type, much like many of these McDermott 'Hurrikane' trainees, but he's very fast when right. (1) BRED TO RACE gets much-needed post relief and will be much more involved from this spot. (4) REGAL SIGHT goes second-time Lasix and I think there's more here than meets the eye; use underneath at a price.
Race 9
(2) PRETTY BOY HILL lands inside again after having his race cancelled last week; Alagna trainee should be ready to roll. (8) DERICHO has been sharp and fits with these; I can't imagine Dube getting away last with him. (3) MIDNIGHT PASS gets an improved post and Bartlett drives again; he can be close up and land a board spot.
Race 10
(2) IN THE HUDDLE drew away easily last out and is sharp enough to repeat. (4) ACE OF CLUBS was a strong winner in his debut for Allard taking his third straight but he has little early speed and needs a pace up front. (5) THE ROCK has held his own recently versus better, more seasoned foes; include.

Turf Paradise - Race #2 - Post: 1:23pm - Claiming - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $7,000 Class Rating: 73
Rating:
#5 LOOKING FOR INFO (ML=7/2)
#6 JOVIAL JEWEL (ML=15/1)
LOOKING FOR INFO - Have to give this filly a shot. Ran a nice effort last time around the track within the last month. This filly is back in a race very quick. This is a great angle - Sprinters that come back in less than 10 days after a race. A good sign of a sharp and ready racehorse. JOVIAL JEWEL - Getting a weight break of 6 pounds from last race at Canterbury Park on Aug 18th. This should help in this event.
Vulnerable Contenders: #2 DANZIG FLARE (ML=8/5), #7 HULA GIRL (ML=5/2), #4 GAMER BABE (ML=4/1),
DANZIG FLARE - Last raced on October 24th at Turf Paradise, finishing third. Not likely to advance off of that try in today's event. I can't play this confirmed non-winner. Gets the task fulfilled from time to time. HULA GIRL - Hard to put your cash on the win end of any racer that finishes second and third as regularly as this horse does. Don't think this horse will make an impact today. That last speed figure was mediocre when compared with today's class figure. GAMER BABE - A pattern of dropping Equibase speed figures 71/64/44 for this questionable contender.
GUEST COMMENTARY: The Brain - LOOKING FOR INFO - After a 'vacation', has had a few races and today she enters a sprint race. Should be back in form, so I expect this animal to perform well in this race.

Race 4 - $50,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Pick 5: 2,3,6/1,2,3/2,4,8/4,7,9/1,2 = $43.20
Early Pick 4: 4,7,9/1,2/4,8,9,10/1 = $24
Late Pick 4: 3,7/3,4,8,9/3,5/3,8 = $32
MEET STATS: 462-1377 / $2415.90 BEST BETS: 73 – 126 / $228.20
SPOT PLAYS: 31 – 126 / $203.20
Best Bet: NEVER ANY DOUBT (7th)
Spot Play: PAR INTENDED (9th)
Race 1
(2) OUTLAW GUNPOWDER went another long uncovered trip last week yet stayed game and fell inches short. A slightly easier trip should be coming from the inside here; top call. (6) LIFEIMITTATESART was flying late last time and he should be closer early here; using. (3) GIVE EM HECK is a front-end threat again off the claim after holding on to beat the choice. (8) JENKINS CREEK came with a bold rush late circling dead cover to win last week and he's another in with a shot in a contentious opener.
Race 2
(3) MAJESTIC PRESENCE improved sharply to win for Henriksen last week, circling up off excess cover in an impressive performance; call to repeat. (2) I WANT KANDY made a remarkable recovery after breaking to win the other division of this series last week; using. (1) ONE TOO MANY was out the route last week which was a hopeless trip. The inside post gives her a better chance here. (8) WHAMBAMTHANKYOUMAM lost a deep stretch lead to the choice and now she moves outside; smaller share predicted.
Race 3
(8) MAGICAL VALENTINE wasn't far back from the 10-hole last time. The smaller field helps here and she may leave a bit harder this time; slight nod. (4) SUNRISE AVENUE should get a much better trip moving to the middle of the gate here. She should be a top threat. (2) DEVILS ADVOCATE has been coming around for Vanderkemp. A win here would be no surprise. (6) WORK THAT MAGIC will likely revert to a stalking style, which should bring a better result.
Race 4
(4) LADY JEN almost won when leaving from the middle of the gate on October 7th. Expect a similarly aggressive drive here. (7) TARAHUMARA raced much better last time at Flamboro in the slop and she raced well here earlier in the meet; consider at a price. (9) REGAL ROXY has been solid since being claimed two back; using. (5) GROUND SHAKER has a great record this year and she should be a speed threat, at a minimum.
Race 5
(2) QUEENOFTHEJUNGLE made two moves last week and was only passed late for the win. I'll give her the nod here leaving from a good post. (1) TRILIFE had good speed early and late to win last week. You have to toss her on Pick 4 and Pick 5 tickets. (7) DRIFT PANIC may show more early foot this time in her 2nd start over the track; using. (9) TOP ROYAL is as game as they come, but post 9 could prove troublesome for her here.
Race 6
(4) ESCUELA was closing well late last week. She looks better than most in this wide-open head scratcher. (9) MJUSICAL SPELL was game despite being hung out last time. If he can clear quickly here, he may go all the way on the front. (8) P L HERCULES should improve with the class drop. (10) HUBBY NUMBER ONE fits this class well and he can share if he stays flat.
Race 7
(1) NEVER ANY DOUBT was just short in a game effort last week. She should be tough here leaving from the rail. (4) LADY MARINA can improve off last week's even comeback effort. (8) DOCS SAUSALITO is one of the better fillies in this series and she may bring another good price here because of the outer post. (10) LUCKY PLAYER may improve with Lasix added and crash the exotics here.
Race 8
(3) TYMAL WIZARD improved sharply last time when losing to a foe who was taking his fourth straight win; top call here. (7) GIRL DRAMA is in top form, but, notice that she is more likely to take a slice than a win most nights. (1) INCREADABLE FRANK can leave better here and stick around for a share. (4) MOST WANTED LINDY looks logical to hit the ticket as he has been doing most weeks.
Race 9
(8) PAR INTENDED responded well to McNair in the final 1/4 last week and produced an impressive late rush. That driver sticks here; call to repeat. (8) SPORTSMANSHIP went way too fast early last time and stopped badly. Back in with claimers, he should be able to get a breather at some point here. (4) LONEWOLF CURRIER stayed in last week in his first start over the track and got third. He could improve and get a more aggressive steer. (3) COBALT MAN brings good form with him from Flamboro. He is worth a long look here.
Race 10
(3) CATCH THE DREAM made a bold move to the front last time but he fell prey to a speed-killing surface. He can make amends here. (5) ETRUSCAN HANOVER roared up from well back to beat the choice then raced well in the Preferred. He is the main danger. (4) CASH FOR GOLD may find the two above too tough here; minor share predicted. (7) WILD AND CRAZY GUY can be a threat from on or near the pace, but he too is more likely to take a smaller share.
Race 11
(8) AWESOMENESS is on a roll and gets a positive driver change here. Expect aggression and another win. (3) CENTURY CHURCHILL took forever to break his maiden, but he is in good form and can take a big share here. (1) EAST END should race better here from the inside. Toss on vertical bets. (4) GATEWOOD should improve off his recent even effort. (6) ROCK POWER is a good one to use in the 3-4-5 slots here.
