Best Bets:
DARN QUIET (5th)-- DODDSPRIVATELABEL (9th)
Race 1
BAY STATE JUSTICE – Drops again after used up dueling quicker opposition; might shake loose at this level.
GUARD THE ROCK – Ran down next-out winner in determined effort but no match for top pick twice previously.
BLUE CHEROKEE – Failed as heavy favorite in last pair but must respect all Ramon Preciado runners.
e
NO MORE STRIPPERS – Scored via disqualification in New York for new management and moderate local success.
Race 2
MIDDLETOWN GAL – Flashes of ability in Midwest and drops from top maiden level; competed three weeks ago.
SURPRISE DAYDREAM – Plunges for first start of season after racing twice for higher tags; threat if ready.
CHAIN LIGHTNING – Extremely quick but faltered with long lead against longshot winner this level and distance.
SHU SHU BABY – Couple of encouraging outings and draws favorably inside as upset possibility.
Race 3
SUNNY MILLS – Chased tougher in race that could serve as prep; closing kick earlier and contested pace aids.
MALIBU BLUFF – Retreated against routers but fired previously this spot sprinting; Serey barn unusually cold.
WILD FLASH – Dominated early with blistering fractions in route; deserves second look for hot Whylie barn.
TAMPA BAY BLUE – Eventful journey when distant third just six days ago and should contribute to lively pace.
Race 4
TINY PREDICAMENT – Primed for elongated sprint winning route duel before caught late by formidable stretch-runner.
FORT BOONESBOROUGH – Stalked loose pacesetter when easily second best, rebounding from dull showing.
ANDREW L – Slow fuse and long losing streak but powerful closing kick on occasion and threat this level.
ALL ABOUT KARMA – Finished behind top selection and needs to duplicate strong outing offered here in January.

Race 5
DARN QUIET – Nailed by uncoupled stablemate in big effort in slop; classy in past and encouraging raise.
TERRI’S PASS – Prominent throughout when DeMasi barn re-claimed soon as possible; dangerous on best.
ALMIGHTY STORM – Used up dueling after awkward start and speedy possibility dropping into claimer.
SINGLE HANDED – Trounced single-winners in route but likely very slow fuse at this distance.
Race 6
MAGIC HARBOR – Pulled away impressively after dueling and could handle raise for winning Lynch stable.
MOVIE NIGHT – Very capable stretch-runner idle nearly two months but might benefit from contested pace.
OLD UPSTART – Battled in tougher version of this spot in New York and romped previously; high percentage barn.
OLD FASHIONED SONG – Decisive score in slightly softer spot and very successful owner-trainer combo.
Race 7
JUST DANCING – Troubled trip at loftier level at Penn National after double-digit local romp; rail likely a plus.
SABBATH BAY – Wore down pacesetter before yielding to closer late in sprint; completes formidable coupling.
KID ROLLINS – Easily second best when dropped to this spot but bit erratic since local arrival.
VALERIE VICTORIA – Drops again after racing along deeper inside in sprint; game at times in past.
Race 8
TIGER TANK – Led to final yards at classier allowance level in Laurel comeback; early promise and fitter now.
GROUND CONTROL – Ran into tiger following long absence and only sound defeat in stake; progress anticipated.

BOND VIGILANTE – Held on gamely against stretch-runner after putting away other speed; Saratoga stakes winner.

Race 10
PITTSBURGH PHIL – Forced pace and continued well when dropped to this level; rail very helpful on Tuesday.
