RACE 1
2-Master Conrad – That was such a standout romp two starts back, then was simply caught out of position & forced wide last week, now moves inside for a hot barn
3-Late Night Joke – 11YO made a rare miscue off the claim, owns plenty of back class, has a chance to rebound with another inside draw & retains Dexter Dunn
8-Bettor BB – Just one for 13 this season & draws outside, but consistently knocking on the door, beaten favorite got really roughed up with a three-wide trip last week
RACE 2
5-Believer – Lightly-raced Cantab Hall brother to millionaire Muscle Massive, needed his slow-start-post-eight comeback, with pedigree & upside picks up Dexter Dunn
2-Shinkansen – Lightly-raced son of Sebastian K was very consistent before the layoff, standout qualifier & inside draw paves the way for him to exploit a soft spot
4-Cocktails N Dreams – This mare has hit the board in three of her last four, including a solid third from post ten to a big favorite Really Fast last week & draws better
RACE 3
3-Sortie – Missed a month & changed barns to Team Bongiorno for a sparkling return to the Big M, runner up to standout Beyond Ordinary, now gets class & post relief
4-Marveloustrix – Her back-to-back upsets this winter are well documented, this is a prime class & post relief scenario, only a bad trip standing in her way
2-Alexander Hanover – Lone win this season came here came back on Jan. 22 with a perfect trip & Dexter Dunn, returns off a solid second @ Pocono with an inside post
RACE 4
4-Na Na Na Baatman – Baatman hasn’t been too effective since his 1:54.2 win as the favorite back on Feb. 5, now drops into a real wide-open claimer & draws inside
2-Moon Doggie – Followed up as modest sloppy track win two starts back with a game uncovered second in a noteworthy debut here & draws better in a soft spot
6-Our Art And Heaven – Went all the way just a fifth off his career best & claimed two starts back, parked & retreated, has now missed three weeks, chance to regroup
RACE 5
3-Star Of Terror – Draws an improved post off decent rally for third in his Big M debut, has a chance to step it up a notch with smooth stalking trip
6-S Mckee – 0 for 11 this season, but showing the right signs with solid on-the-board finishes in his last two, runner up to an international release Cecil Casanova last week
1-Trick Card – 4YO is winless in just 14 career starts, yet flashed some much-improved late pace in his second try here & moves to the rail to continue that positive trend
RACE 6
4-Stephanie Deo – Fresh off an inspiring 4YO debut, attacked late & barely outsprinted, making only her fourth career start, 1:52.3 mark here in 2020 & has plenty of upside
2-Always B First – Left alertly, shuffled & beared down too late in a much-needed 3YO debut, lands post two again to trip out for the logical step up
1-A Better Game – Ships south fresh off a strong second in her career debut @ Mohawk & lands the rail for a barn looking for a spark after a one for 20 start here
RACE 7
2-Preppy Art – The veteran Preppy is on a nice roll right now, draws better fresh off a decisive score & claim, no doubt will be forwardly placed & one to beat
1-Kiwi Ideal N – 13YO with plenty of back class, plus a mark of 1:50 here @ age 10, draws the rail again for his second try off the bench
9-Statesman N – 14YO with a new lease on life, reeling off four straight in energetic style, moves outside with an inexperienced driver, yet remains a factor
RACE 8
4-Gottalovemyshadow – Gets along great with Tyler Miller, well-timed win as the favorite two starts back, pace compromised & forced to angle out of traffic last week, finally draws an inside post
1-Tall Poppy N – Move inside off a no-chance mile, beat these with an aggressive effort back on March 5, horse-for-the-course type has a chance to trip out
6-So Nice Hanover – Scored as the favorite from post eight two starts back, hurt by the slow :57 half when bumped up last week, threat for potent Dunn & Ryder combo
RACE 9
6-Pantheon Hanover – Note the solid rally for third two starts back, fresh claim with a big kick has a chance to crank it up for his new barn
5-Dull Roar – 11YO has been really consistent in a revival season, fresh off the claim he was superbly driven to an 8-1 upset by The Minister last week
7-My Alpha Rock N – Impressively reeled off three in a row, including a 1:51.3 career best, just missed with perfect rating last week, hot item can rebound from a more demanding post
RACE 10
7-Battle Strong – 1:52.2 winner here back in late February, fresh off a narrow loss in :27.3 @ 42-1, look for him to push off the wings & get involved
5-Northern Rock – Worked to grab control from post eight & came up second best off the latest claim, draws better to continue taking advantage of his sharp form
2-Independent One – That was a well-rated upset from post two three starts back, returns to the Big M in a similar spot & might be the one to knock off
RACE 11
2-Gold Medal Swan – Moves inside fresh off a game grind for minor spoils, gearing up on the comeback trail & gets another shot at the bottom level
7-Possess The Stone – Ships in from The Meadows off a couple of improved efforts there, lands in a wide-open field for a new barn & picks up Gingras
1-Stenhouse Hanover – Just one for his last 24 & winless this season, might have been a bit better last week, lands the rail & Team Cullipher have the numbers
RACE 12
8-Bettor Notbitter A – The take no prisoners mission resulted in a complete blowout last week, bumped up a notch & moves outside fresh off the claim, while brimming with confidence
2-Ideal Son – Rallied to hit the board from a tough spot chasing surprise winner Western Redhot last week, 1:51.2 winner @ The Big M in 2020 draws inside again to get within close striking range
3-Western Redhot – Took two starts off the claim to trip out & light up the board, likely won’t get the same hot fractions to shoot at, but draws inside again
RACE 13
1-Rapunzel Blue Chip – Closed from the clouds & post nine to grab second two starts back, torched through a :53.4 half last week & moves inside a field that is a combined three for 60 in 2021
4-Slick Artist A – Beaten favorite faded from the pocket after sitting close to a sizzling pace, hinted of improvement with a strong finish before that, draws well again for her third try off the bench
7-Thundra – Certainly benefited from the inexplicable :53.4 half to pick up third last week, 0 for ten this season & tougher post, but her barn is going well
