BEST BETS: 33 - 59 / $136.30 (+$18.30)

Best Bet: AIN'T HE SPECIAL (8th)

Spot Play: CAVIART CHERIE (1st)

Race 1: F&M $50,000 Claiming Pace

(7) CAVIART CHERIE hasn't gone the easiest of trips in two starts since returning to Yonkers and it may not get better from the outside draw but she's got loads of back class and meets a soft field for this level. (5) JOSSIE JAMES A has been a solid earner out of town recently and even showed some versatility by rallying well from off the pace in her latest start. (3) LOOKATMYART was in for $15K not too long ago but she put in a solid effort in defeat at this level last week.

Race 2: NW20000 in last 5 starts Pace

(5) CHASE H HANOVER cruised from the eight hole last week in his local return and the 4-year-old fits this class under the 'NW10' condition; assuming he's sent out of there again he should be tough to pass once he makes the lead. (4) LYONS STEEL is loaded with class and looks like the main threat to the top one. (1) DINA BOLT N continues to make money despite not finding the winner's circle in ages. He's got speed from the innermost draw.

Race 3: 3-4YO NW2 races or $25,000 lifetime Pace

(2) EXOTIC SAND did the best he could in his last two starts from tough outside posts. Corelli trainee gets major post relief and promises to be more involved. (7) LET'SNOTFORGET has won three straight upstate with Lauren Tritton in the bike after shipping from Michigan; now he gets Bartlett to drive as he gives Yonkers a try and he'll undoubtedly be on the move early. (3) LONE WOLF AMERICAN looked good turning home last week with an open lead but faltered late and was nailed; Brennan drives again looking to reverse his fortunes.

Race 4: 3-5YO F&M NW6 races or $75,000 lifetime Pace

(4) HEAVEN SENT ME showed in her two Yonkers starts that she's certainly ready to take on tougher, so tonight the Devita trainee gets her chance. (7) MIKI ROSE is a neck shy of a five-race win streak since moving to the Per Engblom barn. (5) GABBY'S GIRL has been the controlling speed in her last three but she was caught in two of them and barely lasted last week over a rival who was uncovered forever. Alexander trainee needs more late.

Race 5: 3-5YO NW6 races or $99,650 lifetime Pace

(6) JD has been a solid earner in his brief career for Schnittker and he's finished close up in his last three NYSS tries; Mark MacDonald figures to be hustling him off the gate. (4) HIGH ST CORRIDOR was used hard throughout last start and gave way; prior efforts were good. (2) LINNYCALLEDFRANKIE gets major post relief after having no chance last week and he's certainly a player but he's burned money in the past.

Race 6: 3-4YO F&M NW2 races or $26,901 lifetime Pace

(5) HESTON HONEY was second best to the talented Heaven Sent Me in his last start and overall has looked good in her last three; Lorentzon trainee is clearly the one to beat. (2) SUNSHINE SALLY offered nothing last week facing NW6 types; this is a much better spot for the Cory Stratton trainee and Jordan drives her tonight. (3) FOX VALLEY CACHET rallied steadily for third from a similar spot two back.

Race 7: 3-5YO NW6 races or $75,000 lifetime Pace

(7) BONDI SHAKE N just missed last week in a rugged try (also survived an inquiry) and despite a long winless streak and drawing outside if Siegelman can get off the gate in good order and make it to the lead he could be trouble at a price. (1) SETH HANOVER never rallied last week from the outside but was solid in defeat the start prior. (2) COPPER TEEN steps up to face tougher NW6 foes for good connections; consider.

Race 8: 3-4YO NW2 races or $25,000 lifetime Pace

(5) AIN'T HE SPECIAL ships in making his debut for the Gillis barn which means he gets Stratton to drive and he was a winner in a NW2 class three back at Mohawk Park. 3YO should be a nice fit here. (1) DINNER PARTY breezed in an NW1 and NW2 last month at The Meadows and led to deep stretch in his last try at Pocono. He gets Bartlett to drive here and figures to be flashing good speed from the outset. (7) LOU'S BEACH ships from Pennsylvania for Toscano and appears to have some talent; problem here is the post.

Race 9: 3-5YO NW4 races or $50,000 lifetime Pace

(2) JM'S ROLLIN was dominating in the Morel series at Saratoga before blowing up in the final and he recently paced a couple of 1:55 miles at Monticello so the speed is there to be competitive. If he minds his manners he could sit a live trip and pull off the mild upset in the finale. (4) CONTACT ZONE was completely unpressured wiring the field in his local debut; is he ready to face a bit better? (6) BORN A REBEL raced well two back but that was sandwiched by two tiring efforts; connections have to be respected.
