Race 1: NW7500 in last 5 starts Trot

(3) GOLDEN COMPASS is a fresh face here as he arrives from The Meadows and joins the Alexander barn; gets a driver upgrade as well to the more experienced Napolitano. Should be an ok price and we'll see how he fits here. (2) ARCHERY SEELSTER rolled down the road last week for Bartlett/Cullipher; steps up a notch but seems ready for more. (1) ATTA GIRL DANI qualified effectively after some time off and lands the rail.

Race 2: NW5041 in last 5 starts Trot

(1) ALL TOO WELL was sitting close in the pocket when he broke in the final turn in his local debut for the Bucci barn; 4YO faces a mixed bag of trotters here who have been camera shy and assuming he minds his manners he can be right up close again. (6) B NICKING doesn't win much but he has proven early speed which always gives him a legit chance. (4) MOHATU AS returns locally for the Lorentzon barn and has generally been facing better of late.

Race 3: F&M NW5000 in last 5 starts Pace

(5) MISS DOTTIE MAE returns locally at the bottom conditioned level and she's beaten better than these multiple times in the past. New driver Bartlett should be sending her to the front looking to wire these. (2) CALLMEQUEENBEE A may be showing her age as the 11YO has shown little in her two 2025 starts but she draws a better post and will be much more involved. (3) LOUSLOULEMON has been unproductive for most of her brief career with Burke; maybe the change of scenery helps.

Race 4: NW5000 in last 5 starts Trot

(6) DW'S POINT MAN made over $125K last season at Yonkers and the Lachance trainee found the winner's circle six times, generally facing much better than this. Hard to pass up at this NW5000 level. (5) BARRY BLACK was just even last week; veteran tries Bartlett and probably still has some life left in those 14YO legs. (4) VALI HANOVER was parked and faded weakly in his local return but he's had good moments here in the past; Gingras gets the drive tonight.

Race 5: F&M NW7500 in last 5 starts Pace

(1) MALUKA MISS N has been showing live moves throughout her starts at The Meadowlands since the move to the DiDomenico barn and now she gives Yonkers a try and lands the rail. Expecting new driver Brennan to be aggressive with this mare. (4) TWIN B ALLURE is a rare Bongiorno trainee who has not been firing but she takes a significant class drop here and switches to Bartlett; more is expected. (7) VIBRANCE is clearly a good fit with these but she's outside and needs to generate some early speed to get involved.

Race 6: F&M NW10000 in last 5 starts Pace

(5) CELIA B MONEY rolled off dull cover to score easily in her local return and the step up in class shouldn't be a problem as she had a win here against NW15000 types back in November. Now third-time Lasix the Cullipher trainee gets the call to repeat. (1) MORNING HAS BROKEN can be frustrating to back sometimes as last week's break before the start will attest to. Drops from $50K claimers and lands the rail again looking to rebound. (6) CREME DELIGHT returns to Yonkers and is back with Gingras but she was 0 for 13 here last year; consider underneath.

Race 7: NW12011 in last 5 starts Trot

(2) DEJERATE HANOVER suffered an equipment break last week after tucking early and the prior start he was a decent second leaving from the outside; class and post relief give this Burke trainee a real chance here. (5) EYE OFA TIGER AS was a winner in his local return and may have another level or two in him as he inches towards the million dollar mark in career earnings. (1) THE BALLYKEEL DEAL drops from $40K claimers and moves all the way inside; Kakaley sticks for the Alexander barn.

Race 8: F&M NW15000 in last 5 starts Pace

(4) OKINAWA BEACH A has finished willingly in her two seasonal starts and the veteran Bako trainee figures to be close enough here with the post improvement; may offer the best price of the main contenders. (1) EASY TO PLEASE also had pace in her two 2025 tries and this classy Stratton trainee is the one to beat starting from the pole position, but will likely be odds-on. (2) MCMARKLE SPARKLE had nothing to offer in her first start after over five weeks; she's better than that.

Race 9: NW15000 in last 5 starts Trot

(6) TIPSY MONI has come back razor-sharp in 2025 for the Burke Brigade and the mare goes for three straight. I suspect we'll see her back at the top levels before too long. (4) INFINITY STONE recently added Lasix and it really seemed to help; trotter will be forwardly placed again. (1) HAND DOVER DAN surely needed that recent start where she flattened out after giving it a try from the pocket; Lance Hudson trainee can be tighter sitting a trip.

Race 10: NW5000 in last 5 starts Pace

(3) THRASHER has shown nothing in any recent starts but he faces an equally dull field and this gelding has 10 wins and almost $200K banked at Yonkers over the last two years so the talent is there; Gingras picks up the drive tonight. (4) C BET HANOVER has also raced well here over the last few years and usually offers a price; back to a better post after having the eight hole last week. (1) POP IT is back with the Schnittker barn after spending time in Indiana and time-wise that qualifier was fine. Could be ready for a piece off the bench.
