Yonkers: Analysis for Tuesday 9/8

MEET STATS: 145 - 419 / $764.90 (-$73.10)
BEST BETS: 22 - 39 / $70.70 (-$7.30)
Best Bet: MILLWOOD BONNIE N (7th)
Spot Play: SHOWMEYOURGUNS (8th)

Race 1 - NW2 races or $25,000 lifetime Pace

(2) MCNUGGET has raging form shipping in from Plainridge and she lands in a very soft spot for her local debut; short price looming, but a likely winner. (1) LADY LIMELIGHT raced well from the back of the pack last week at a big price and the move inside makes her a logical contender. (4) SPECIAL GRADUATE has been decent in all of her Yonkers efforts.

Race 2 - NW5000 in last 5 starts Trot

(2) TORKIL has been waiting for this drop in class and that combined with the move inside and the switch to Bartlett makes this Corelli trainee imposing here. (4) PINE BUSH ROSE woke up with a much better effort last out, showing solid speed off the gate; mare may be the main threat to the favorite. (8) CADENCE SEESTER drops from the NW conditioned ranks, where she's had some limited success, and she should fit well here; worth considering underneath at a big price.

Race 3 - NW5000 in last 5 starts Pace

(3) ITSONLYROCKNROLL A was used too hard in his local return and paid the price in a big way; Stalbaum trainee can bounce back with smoother sailing. (5) KIMANI N has been a major money-burner, always seeming to have some sort of an excuse; Andrew Harris trainee rates highly again and he'll reward his loyal followers eventually. (7) GRAND MASTER was a good second last week when dropped to this level; oldtimer always fits well with this type and he can be considered despite the outside post.

Race 4 - NW5000 in last 5 starts Trot

(8) TOP FLIGHT ANGEL drops to the basement level and it's hard to imagine this former Yonkers Trot winner not beating these, even from the worst post. (5) ARCHIBALD has been a minor player in his last few and he looks as good as any in here to complete the exacta. (3) LEVITATION gets another catch-driver in the bike for Franz Wolf and he rallied well in last; missed time is a concern, however.

Race 5 - NW5000 in last 5 starts Pace **$7,500 GTD PICK-5**

(4) NOAHS MILL ships down from Vernon to take a shot at more money and he picks up Bartlett; gelding has been going well and seems capable with a live trip. (5) COOL BLUES MAN dropped to this level, took some money and raced well; player. (1) RONNIES ROCKET has beaten much better than these in the past but he returns locally coming off some tiring efforts.

Race 6 - NW10000 in last 5 starts Trot

(2) ARMAGEDON SEELSTER has been racing well recently at Philly, including a win two back in 1:54 2/5; He gets Bartlett in the bike from a good post for his local return. (5) MR VICKTOR looks for two straight. Talent has never been the problem, it's been consistency. (1) CON AIR HALL should be in line for a live trip from this spot.

Race 7 - NW4 races or $50,000 lifetime Pace

(3) MILLWOOD BONNIE N was a solid second in her last two local races at this level and she followed that up with some good recent efforts at Pocono versus similar competition; Lance Hudson trainee faces some interesting rivals here but appears the one to beat. (2) WIGGLE DELIGHT draws well and figures to be much more involved tonight. (5) DD DELICIOUS hails from sharp connections but has been completely out of form; not sure what to expect.

Race 8 - NW10000 in last 5 starts Trot

(1) SHOWMEYOURGUNS gets needed post relief and has been a solid performer versus this type for years. He figures to sit right off the speed and can strike late. (2) P L KETCHUP gets Holland in the bike tonight subbing for Jeff Gregory and he's got plenty of speed and is generally well-mannered. (5) MIAMI had been racing much better of late and he figures to be forwardly placed as well.

Race 9 - NW8 races or $100,000 lifetime Pace

(4) NORTH STAR IDEAL took a little time off after her solid placing in the M Life Final and she qualified effectively behind a classy rival; Milici trainee should be ready for action. (1) CORAL BELLA moves back to the NW conditioned ranks and draws best; looks like the clear threat to the top choice. (3) FREE EXCHANGE finished well after shaking free last start, could do the same here.
