Yonkers Analysis: Friday 1/20/12

(MEET STATS: 7 - 24 / $71.80)

Best Bet: CINDERELLA MAN (5th) Spot Play: MYMOMSABLIZZARD (11th)

Race 1

(2) NEWSAM Twelve-year-old gelding flashed good speed in Jersey. Very capable of getting the job done at his best from the two hole. (4) BLINDSIDED charged late for the place spot at Chester. Big player. (1) MOST FUN YET Another Chester shipper gets post relief. Not out of this.

Race 2

(4) BOILER BOB THE QB Pacer was used hard early in his previous trip at Chester. The half-mile oval should suit him well. Gets the call. (1) LETTHEMAGICBEGIN did show speed at Freehold and gets Brennan to drive. Main danger. (5) NEED A JOB Another Chester invader that has good early zip. Watch out.

Race 3

(1) IWANNABESEDATED Showed life two starts back and raced evenly in his last try. Eleven-year-old gelding moves to the fence. With a perfect trip, pacer could take these to task for the victory. (8) JAZZ BAND took the pocket route home to score. Big threat despite moving to the eight slot. (3) OYSTER BAY His last try was not bad. Worth a shot in the exotics.

Race 4

(6) SALVESTER STALLION Very sharp in his initial outing at Yonkers. Gelding could best these if he can return to his last trip to the post. (5) BALL MCCARTNEY N did not fire at Monticello but has done quite well at the Hilltop. Big Threat. (8) MAJO JUST DO IT Has good speed and could be right in the mix from post eight.

Race 5

(6) CINDERELA MAN Has been sharp in his last two starts. Gelding can boss these at best with Brennan at the controls. (1) NEWPORT VOLO was used up at the Big M last week. Main contender. (8) BUCK I D Late on the scene to grab the place spot. Draws outside but he fits with these.

Race 6

(3) SHAKY HANOVER was over her head at the Meadowlands last week. The good news is pacing mare returns back to Yonkers where she has done her best. Can take this with the Brennan/Fraley connection. (8) PANCLEEFANDARPELS Qualifier at the Big M was impressive for her return to the races. Big threat in here. (1) CUZ SHE CAN Another miss that tried the Jersey circuit but is better at the Hilltop. Not out of this.

Race 7

(1) QUICKSILVERCANDY A Her qualifier here was very good. Eight-year-old mare draws the rail slot and with a collapse of the early pacesetters, she can mow them down in the stretch drive. (8) REILLYS DAUGHTER is two for two in 2012. Capable miss despite the outside draw. (3) WESTERN GRADUATE went down the road for the score at the Big M last week. Quite dangerous with Brennan at the helm.

Race 8

(8) TWIN B CAVIAR Pena trainee is knocking at the door. Will try to make tonight a winning one from the eight hole. (3) WUTHERING HANOVER Another open trotter that can put his best foot forward in here. Main danger. (6) PEMBROKE PRAYER has good speed to contend with these.

Race 9

(3) PIO POWER Trotter is very sharp and has the speed to boss these at his best. (2) CARBON FOOTPRINT Did not disgrace himself at the Meadowlands last time out. Major player in here. (7) FORCE NINE raced evenly in his last start. Can make some noise with Brennan on the return call.

Race 10

(3) SECOND CHANCE Chester shipper has fine speed. Eight-year-old mare might take to the half-mile oval and take this at her best. (7) RAMONA DISOMMA closed strongly for the place spot in her last try. Major player. (8) UP FRONT KELLIE JO is knocking at the door and Brennan takes over. Not out of this.

Race 11

(3) MYMOMSABLIZZARD Powered home to an easy score last week. She is moving up the ladder but based on her last performance, two in a row is not out of the cards. (1) ADONIS B did show some life in his last try and maybe the rail could help his chances. (7) SARKOZY gelding is knocking at the door and Brennan stays. Threat.

Race 12

(7) CLASSIERIVERBOAT N got the job done via the pocket route. She is moving up in class but based off her last try indicates she can pull off two straight scores. (3) HULAS Z TAM rallied strongly for the third spot last time around. She can contend with these. (4) FOX VALLEY SAGE She moves down in class for this event. Quite dangerous.
