Race Three: nw3 (5YO & Under)
(8) SYNCRO’S Z TAM last years Governers Cup winner is prepping for the Meadowlands Pace but meets tough foes in True Force and American Ideal, but may offer some betting value (7) TRUE FORCE has been on a tear and may have more incentive to win than our top selection (2) AMERICAN IDEAL another prepping for the M-Pace, no shot when off poorly in the NA Cup Final, look for him to brush early with Pierce (1) DOMINATION win in fast time benefiting from the fast pace.

Race Four: nw 15,550
(4) MIRACLE MAN N couldn’t stall pocket winner after setting slow fractions but has made positive strides (9) CIRCLE L KID on the improve going the uncovered route and holding well in fast last quarter and gets Sears (3) KEYSTONE RODEO Pierce’s surprising choice of 4, closed decently after getting away poorly (1) IMAGE OF DAWN can stay close from the rail.

Race Five: WILLIAM R. HAUGHTON – Elim FFA (D)
(5) PONDER was our heavy play last week in the Canadian Pacing Derby, has been very sharp and Jackie Mo will be looking for the cover trip (7) TIMESAREACHANGING has had the necessary prepping and should be a closing factor (6) YOU ROCK sharp win off pressured fast middle half and gets Miller (8) BOULDER CREEK hasn’t been able to handle the Top FFA’ers lately but may start to pick up his game with ship back to the Big M.

Race Six: WILLIAM R. HAUGHTON – Elim FFA (D)
(8) LIFE SOURCE returns after disappointing stint in Canada, back to his home base and sure to fire out and sit the trip (6) CASIMIR CAMOTION one of our favorites from last year has failed to fire on all cylinders so far but expect improved effort after no shot drawing poorly tin the Canadian Pacing Derby final (9) ESCAPE THE WIND looks like Mayotte’s only drive and will probably float out early for position (4) MALTESE ARTIST should get the front easier but did quit badly last week.

Race Seven: TITAN CUP – FINAL FFA TROT (D)
(4) CASH HALL team of McIntosh and Moiseyev have been hot and can perhaps upset at a decent price (3) MR MUSCLEMAN is obviously a trotting machine now and while a couple have come close, he is one tough trotter when on his game (11) SAND VIC has stepped up his game this year and may get a decent trip if Coventry leaves (1) COVENTRY the Ackerman trainee showed a good closing kick last year and gets the services of Lachance again after showing good early speed and should be close throughout.

Race Eight: nw 20,000 (D)
(9) PRINCE VINCE drops from the high priced claimer after closing in 54.1, switches back to Manzi and look for the Catman to fire him out (1) DAVIDS RAINBOW should be close throughout from the rail (5) THE PREACHER PAN was Sears’ choice of 3, doesn’t win often but is always the closing threat (6) CASEY’S BONANZA watch list horse for being parked out in fast middle half.

Race Nine: nw 15,500L
(9) CUNNING LIAR the knee spreaders seemed to help in improved effort (8) BLISSED OUT can continue hot streak for Elliott, has gotten his act together at Flamboro racing more effectively from off the pace (6) O NARUTAC PAT free ride in class off pocket win (7) TROT WEST BANDIT N is on the improve fanning 3 wide coming home in 27.0 in fast race.

Race 12: 40,000 CL
(9) ALERT MOTORING N a watch list horse for setting pressured in fast half and not tiring badly and gets Sears (1) GINNY’S FIVE SIX Gingras’ choice over the #9 can stay close from the rail (4) GONE WEST has looked like a new horse last two, steps up for Warwick after setting life mark (3) DAVE AINT HERE drops for Harder and gets Ledford after getting away poorly but pacing 54.0 middle half to try to get into contention.

Race 13: nw 10,000
(6) VILLAGE HERO N has picked up his game recently at Yonkers on the front end and may have the confidence to carry it through here (3) TWOFOUR EIGHT drops slightly after showing good pace on both ends with good group of nw3 (3) ALEXANDERTHEGREAT sat and outkicked late in fast pace and will probably be overbet (5) KING TUTPANKHAMEN hasn’t been the most consistent of horses but seems to throw in a decent effort on occasion.

BONUS COVERAGE!!!
The Roses Are Red Final & Armbro Flight Stakes from Mohawk Raceway
Race Five: The Armbro Flight Stakes Final
(8) HOUSETHATRUTHBUILT beaten favorite last two may get overlooked this week as many may jump ship but Trond’s horses always seem to respond in the big ones (1) BRAMASOLE brushed and tired late in the elim (4) PEACEFUL WAY and (2) MYSTICAL SUNSHINE both set track and Canadian records in their elims and, of course the ones to beat but may be overbet.

Race Eight: ROSES ARE RED - FINAL (D)
(1) STONEBRIDGE KISSES won prep last week of good cover trip but draws better and gets Luc and should be in good striking distance when they turn home (9) L DEES VAL would like better with improved post, offered good close after getting away 10th in her last start in the Lady Liberty Final, major late closing threat (2) INVITRO good speed effort in her 3rd start back in the prep, is a popular horse up north and may be overbet again (6) BURNING POINT look for her to blast our with Wallis but don’t think she can take them all the way on the front end.
