Race 2
(4) PICTONIAN PRIDE put in a sharp late rally last out to nail down the show spot; ready to roll tonight. (7) TALBOTCREEK ARMANI was sent down the road in his latest for all the glory. (1) BAY FISHEN DOC just got up for win honors in his last trip to the post.
Race 3
(2) SEA VENTURE did not have it at Freehold last time out, but the good news is he's back at Yonkers where he has done his best running. (4) IRAS BIG GUY Sharp in victory last week makes him a threat again. (1) EIGHT TEN EOM should fare quite well from the fence.
Race 4
Will take a shot with (5) NOBLES GRAND SLAM for the upset. Gelding faces no tigers in here and has every right to move forward. (2) MERCURIO N gets a better draw and Brennan is at the controls; main danger. (8) BETTORS CURSE Post hurts but moves down in class; watch out.
Race 5
(2) NY ICE If this gelding returns to his 11-7 trip, the rest would have to settle for place money. (8) FOX VALLEY LEO has tactical speed and should handle to move to the 8-hole. (6) CORKY BARAN gets class relief; not out of this.
Race 6
(4) HACIENDA Last time around, this gelding made a middle move at the three quarter pole and tired in the stretch drive. Might be ready to mow these down at his best. (3) FLYING INSTRUCTOR was used up in the early stages in his latest; the one to catch. (7) LUCKY MAN flashed good speed in his last start.
Race 7
(4) LUCKY LUCKY LEO raced evenly last out and this guy seems to be in fine form to get the job done tonight. (5) JOHNNY Z rallied strongly for win honors in his recent outing. (1) CLEM took the pocket route last out for the victory.
Race 8
Will try (4) COFFEE ADDICT to get back on the winning track; very capable. (6) ROBIN CRUISER is clearly knocking at the door based on her last three starts. (7) ROCKAROUND SUE Quite sharp for the score recently.
Race 9
(5) TYE SEELSTER showed good speed in his latest. Five-year-old could pull off the upset at his best. (2) LATE NITE FLIGHT has hit the board in his last three tries; threat. (1) CASHENDASH HANOVER Easy victory for this gelding last time out.
Race 10
(3) MAGIC STARLIGHT moves to tne 3-hole and that might help her cause against these. (1) KEYSTONE WANDA drops in class and draws the fence; major player. (2) ITS A MIRACLE should do much better from the two slot.
Race 11
(1) COOKING THE BOOKS moves down the ladder and gets the pole position for this; ready to roll. (3) CRAZY ON YOU closed sharply to get the job done last time out. (2) HANDSOFFMYCUPCAKE fits well in here and should have a say in the outcome.
