Race 1 - F&M NW2500L5 (NJSO or NW L2 3150L5) / TrackMaster Rating 77.5 or Less (NW L2 79.55) / TrackMaster Rating less than 73.72 Drawn Inside Pace **Pick 5**
(3) TURN UP THE MUSIC came up just short of winning last Friday and races out of a red-hot stable. (2) ONEDERFULBEACH has hit the board in three straight between here and Yonkers and gets post and class relief. (1) COVER THE CROWN shows a win at the Meadowlands on 1-9 and slides in from post ten to the pole position this week.
Race 2 - TrackMaster Rating 71 (NW L2 or F&M 73) or Less Trot
(4) CLEVELAND ROYALTY makes his second start on Lasix and gets significant post relief to go with it. (5) ZLATAN gained spots and ground in the final quarter of his mile a week ago and is a second-timer for this stable. (1) MASSTER BLUE has hit the board in back-to-back outings in this class and landed another inside post tonight.
Race 3 - MADC 1 Pace **$52,961.55 Pick 8 carryover **
(5) MUSCLE FACTORY A tallied in handy fashion the last time he was in a MADC race on 1-16 and moves in on the gate off a fifth-place result on 2-14. (2) THAT DOG WILL HUNT is riding a three-race streak of finishes in the top three and slides in from post five to the two-hole. (7) SEIZE CONTROL comes off a victory in a MADC 1 tilt a couple weeks back and just needs pace to set up his closing kick.
Race 4 - F&M TrackMaster Rating 68 (NW L4 69.35) or Less Pace
(2) PEARL HARBOUR N posted a win at this level on December 19 and moves in from the nine-hole to post two off an effort where she was unable to get involved. (1) PHELGON drops a notch and was a winner in this class two back on January 9. (3) EA MUSHU is another one who took on TrackMaster 71 foes most recently and now slides back down to the TrackMaster 68s where she tallied on the 23rd of January. She also gets significant post relief.
Race 5 - MADC 1 Pace
(5) FERDINAND A looks like he's rounding back into form as he's been dropping time in each of his last three outings, and we all know he's capable of winning these races. (6) YER SO BAD rallied to finish third a couple of weeks ago and is another one with a history of success in these MADC 1 events. (3) URBAN RENEWAL moves in from post seven to the three-hole off a second-place finish where he missed by just a neck last week.
Race 6 - NW5000L5 (NJSO/NW L2/F&M NW5500L5) / TrackMaster Rating 80.5 (NW L2/F&M 82.60) or Less Trot **$50,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 Pool**
(2) GOO FOR BROKE couldn't have been more impressive last week and I don't see any reason why he shouldn't handle the step up in class tonight (4) MASSIVE MATTER turned a pocket trip into a win when last seen a couple of weeks back and that was his first start in over a month. He should be sharper on a more regular rotation here. (3) GILLYS DE VIE was victorious the last time he competed at this level back on the 9th of January and gets significant post relief in this race.
Race 7 - F&M NW2 (NW L2/NJSO NW3) Ext. PM Races or 20000LT (NW L2/NJSO 30000LT) / NW22500LT May Enter and Draw Outside / Maidens Drawn Inside Pace
(8) RASPALIA N starts from the outside but was an impressive victor in her U.S. debut on 2-6 and I can't imagine they're going to take her back to last. (7) CHURCHVIEW MEOW IR has an eye-catching win record overseas and qualified well over the track last Saturday. (1) PAPI'S DREAM qualified well behind CHURCHVIEW MEOW IR and is a first-time starter for a high-percentage stable.

Race 8 - NW7500L5 (NJSO/NW L2/F&M NW8300L5) / TrackMaster Rating 83.5 (NW L2/4YO/F&M 86.32) or Less / NW5 Ext. PM Races LT (NW L2/F&M/NJSO NW7 Ext. PM Races LT) Trot **$4,500.33 Pick 6 Carryover**
(1) TORRONE trotted home in 27 and change from a no-chance spot last Friday and now moves in from the ten-hole to post one in his second start back off the bench. (4) ROYAL COMET rallied from seventh to third in the final quarter of his mile on 2-6. He's a second-timer for this stable and gets post relief this time. (7) AARDIEBYTHEHILL N enters off a third at this level a week ago and kept Brett Beckwith over the other horse from this stable in this contest.
Race 9 - F&M NW5000L5 (NJSO/NW L2 NW5500L5) / TrackMaster Rating 80.5 (NW L2/NJSO 84.33) or Less / TrackMaster Rating 84.68 or Higher Drawn Outside Pace
(9) TWIN B SUNKISSED is stuck outside again but is in raging form and just needs to be put in a play a bit to have a chance at winning. (7) REMY BROWN N faces what I think are a bit softer foes in this class than she has been and has been showing speed off the gate in recent outings. (5) JORDANNA HANOVER returns to action here off a 3YO campaign that saw her bank six figures and a sharp qualifier over the track last Saturday.
Race 10 - 7500CLM Pace **$50,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 Pool**
(7) EL PARRANDERO Q lacks much in the form column but has performed well at the Meadowlands before and is getting a driver switch to Colin Kelly tonight. (10) LYONS LIBERTY got another ten-hole tonight but was able to overcome it to finish third two back and comes in off a victory at this level a week ago. (4) ALWAYS A WAY paced a 27 second last quarter in his fourth-place effort last Saturday, and I think the $7,500 claimers are a softer class than the TrackMaster Rating 74.5s.
Race 11 - F&M TrackMaster Rating 71 (NW L2 73.05) or Less Pace
(6) ALMOST KAREN took a couple of unsuccessful shots against TrackMaster 74.5 or less foes and now drops down to the level of her win on January 16. (10) SWEET SANDY is saddled with post ten but comes off an impressive win in this class a week ago for a stable that's been sending out a lot of live horses. (3) TARGARYEN EMPRESS rallied from seventh to second in the event won by SWEET SANDY last Friday and moves in on the gate from post nine to the three-hole.
Race 12 - TrackMaster Rating 74.5 (NW L2 or F&M 76.50) or Less Trot
(2) CERTIFY drops out of the TrackMaster Rating 77.5 or Less class, gets post relief and switches to a catch driver. (1) SOEUR MARY never got involved last week but drops back down to the level of her victory on 2-6 and moves in from the eight-hole to the pole position. (10) BRUHA starts from the ten-hole but has back-to-back runner-up finishes against TM 74.5 or Less company and had some traffic trouble last Friday, too.
Race 13 - F&M NW2500L5 (NJSO or NW L2 3150L5) / TrackMaster Rating 77.5 or Less (NW L2 79.55) / TrackMaster Rating less than 73.72 Drawn Inside Pace
(1) GUMBELL doesn't have much form but nobody in this event does and at least she moves in to post one off four straight outside draws and gets to team up with Kelly again. She's also paced 27 and change final quarters in her two recent Meadowlands appearances. (6) PRIDEFUL advanced from last to fourth, with some traffic issues, in the back-half of her mile at this level a week ago and starts from post seven instead of the ten-hole. (5) I DREAM OF JEANIE tired after a fast pace on 2-6 but was favored in that event and you should get a much better price tonight.
Race 14 - F&M TrackMaster Rating 68 (NW L4 69.35) or Less Pace **Hi-5**
Not a lot in the way of form to go on here, so I'll swing with (7) CENTURY LIBERTY as she adds Lasix in her debut for these connections and qualified okay behind some classier foes last Saturday. (6) KATIE COTTON has been picking up checks in a fairly difficult class at Monticello recently and did win three times last year as a 2YO. (1) BULVILLKIDUNOTEDNA finished a gaining fourth at this level when last seen on January 16 and starts from the pole position.
