The eight-year old son of Andover Hall has been on a roll of late, winning four of his last five starts. A winner of $308,906 lifetime, Up Front Ben has shown a liking for the Pocono Downs oval as well, including a personal best taken over the five-eighth's mile in 1:54.1. Tonight he picks up the meet's leading driver George Napolitano Jr. and I see nothing stopping this veteran trotter from making the lead early and never looking back, capturing yet another victory in that tenth race feature.
 
BEST BET: UP FRONT BEN (10TH)
VALUE PLAY: DREAM LAKE (8TH)
