Like Soot's; I'll be nicer and add the number of words!
-1: getting dark (2) -2: with bacon (2) -3: usually when adding (2) -4: acrobat feat (3) ---- over --------- -5: act superior (3) -6: ready for pasture (3) -7: no note from Doc (3) over --- ------- -8: radical change (5) -9: deceive (6)
HINT: one word in each contains a "v" !!
