Good card here, but first a shameless plug. As many of you know, I write a monthly column for Harness Eye. Unfortunately, it is a tough publication to find if you are not in the New York area, and they do not provide on-line access yet, despite being owned by Daily Racing Form. But, I am reprinting some of my Harness Eye columns at the Handicapper's Corner of northfieldpark.com. I cannot publish the current column, but we will change them pretty regularly this year, running a couple months behind, to get you some more handicapping insightgs.

Good Luck.
Race 1: 1 Cast British- Perfect position in a competitive field; 3 Mystical Ways- Stahl chooses off a Sherman horse to drive, that’s huge; 5 Bytemetoni- Risky off break, ignore slow Q 2nd ½.
Race 2: 9 Get Ready To Rumba- Another well-matched group. Noble’s the difference; 3 Tidewater Misty- 3rd back, class-drop; 2 Hawthorne Maria- Fresh hands w/Joey driving for dad.
Race 3: 4 Ms Antsy Pants- Back at her best level, slight call; 3 Tiaras Bluff- Could claim the crown and I’m not lying; 2 Caribean Cruise- Gets Stahl w/Noble choosing #3 (over 2/6/7/8/9).
Race 4: 2 Radiant Star- Value play gets best post in two months; 1 Laverne Muntser- Double class drop off a win, but will be 1-5; 3 Sand Song- 1st competitive draw locally; 5 Can Doit Forever- Always does big work, sometimes a victim of the trip, patience may win out here.
Race 5: 1 Redmeansgo- Racing well and gets Noble; 9 I Give You My Word- Inconsistent, but huge work in last, a win; 2 Kamanda’s Jem- Consistent, professional mare - must use on ticket.
Race 6: 1 Miss Big Time- Back inside where she is lights-out; 2 Hurrikane Shannonk- Racing well, needs more pop late; 3 Deena- Is actually most consistent of these, but seems a bit lucky.
Race 7: 4 Rei Of Silver- Class relief off a good 2nd place effort; 5 Clarksville Jazz- Class relief off a good 3rd place effort; 7 Evere And A Day- Raced better than the line shows in Melloy debut, gets Stahl here; 2 Getherdonesue- Class relief odd an adequate fourth place effort.
Race 8: 2 My Mystique- Third back and very consistent; 1 Rosemary’s Secret- Needs to mind her manners; 7 One Day Wonder- Moves up off the claim and is unproven at this level.
Race 9: 1 Anita Friend- Slight class relief and gets Noble and a rail; 9 Cosmetician- Eligible at time of entry, got my call until Dan chose off; 2 Janice’s Scarlett- Needs early position.
Race 10: 4 Cora’s Grace- Can close from way back, doesn’t always fire; 6 Doowrah Silver- Would like her better further inside; 1 Tt’s Little Lass- In tough, but rail helps her; 5 Gadjet- Perfect trip win against lesser was her first of the season, may be better than 4th, but no value.
Race 11: 2 Rosie Caribia- Gives you your $2 worth every single time; 3 Look To Book- Loves this track and has transitioned well from NY; 4 Mysteriosa Hanover- Moves up but still figures.
Race 12: 3 I Am Samsational- Trip may not be quite as good, but she gets a slight call; 9 Action Jenna- Seems best on paper, but Stahl chose the #3; 4 Scooters Clan- Gets minor honors here.
Race 13: 9 B B Big Girl- Made a solid move in last, her 1st with Dan N; 1 Hillcrest Crystal- Just a hunch from the rail; 6 Digital’s Dream- Most consistent of these, if Cassidy puts her in position.
Race 14: 5 Kc’s Ballroom Lady- Should dance right to the lead, needs to finish better; 7 Dorm Roomie- Gets fresh hands and looms large if she overcomes the draw; 3 Im A Sally Sue- Shows generally good results with Stahl; 2 Lady Louise- Shows good efforts but she was 0-37 in 2K10.
