Best Bet: JUSTHAVENTMETUYET (12th)
Spot Play: FASHION MYSTERY (5th)
Race 1
0 for 18 (3) FLYING MOCHA might be coming around; moves back inside where she was a game second three trips ago; figures to be a serious threat at her best. (4) SENTIMENTAL LADY took the pocket route on her way to glory last out; main danger. (1) NATY could have a say from the fence.
Race 2
(8) AMERICAN TOWER put in a late run for the show spot last out; draws a bad slot but based on his last two tries, there's an indication he will move forward; consider. (5) QUALITY CLOSER gets serious post relief and that might help his cause. (2) UPPERCUTZ Even finish in his latest; could land a share of the purse.
Race 3
(8) HALL OF TERROR this could be a better spot for this sophomore gelding to put it all together; posied to rate and score over these. (4) OK GALAHAD has put in three straight good efforts. In his last try, he was a beaten third at odds on; dangerous. (3) DOUBLE YOUR BET draws a better slot. Got the job done two trips ago; not out of this.
Race 4
(4) BRUSSELS HANOVER did not fire in her latest. However this pacing miss did flash speed two starts back and good to see Brennan at the helm; threat. (2) I DO IT MYSELF was second best at this level last week; big player in here. (6) LITTLE MISS HENRY closed sharply from dead last to nail down the fourth spot; can't count her out of this.
Race 5
(1) FASHION MYSTERY moves down the ladder for this event; pacer gets the best of the draw and with a favorable trip, she can get the job done. (4) GRACE SEELSTER was sent by Brennan down the road last time out for all the marbles; once again quite dangerous. (8) INTOVIEW charged down the center of the track to make last week a winning one; post hurts but is very capable.
Race 6
(7) LOCAL ART Two sharp efforts in a row. Last start this gal put in a game second; if she can overcome the outside post, the rest will have to settle for second money. (2) BAD GIRL VEGAS got the job done last out down the road; main danger. (1) LOVE OF LIBERTY has done well in her last three starts and moves to the rail; must be considered in the exotics.
Race 7
(5) HOT RODDY Gelding missed the victory by only a neck; poised to put his best foot forward. (3) INNOCENT VICTIM moves down in class and has tactical speed; contender. (6) LUCKY TERROR has hit the board in his last five tries; very capable.
Race 8
(2) SKIPPIN BY flashed good speed against some of the top open pacing mares in the country at Woodbine last out. She makes her return to Yonkers where she was a very game second three starts ago; the pick. (8) KRISPY APPLE is on a roll scoring her third straight victory; the one to deny. (6) CINAMONY has been on the board in her last three tries so she is knocking at the door; watch out.
Race 9
(5) LA FIESTA's last start was a fair effort; with a fine-timed drive from Carlson, this pacing mare can make her return to the winner's circle. (2) NEFERTITI BLUECHIP got the job done wire to wire last out; must be considered. (1) KAITLYN RAE another one that went down the road last time around for all the glory; retains the rail so beware again.
Race 10
(7) ELISAVETA N Pacing mare put in a mild rally last out; could mow these down with a complete meltdown of the early leaders. (1) CLORIS HANOVER moves to the rail slot and that should help her cause; main danger. (3) ROYAL KNOCKOUT lost her last trip by only a length and a half last week; don't overlook.
Race 11
(4) CAROBBEAN PACETRY showed good speed at the level last out; pacing mare figures to make some serious noise down the lane; threat at her best. (2) EYRE HOSTESS N closed sharply to nail down the placing last out; sharp contender. (1) ACT NOW has speed and the rail slot; most likely will be on the engine again; not out of this by far.
Race 12
(6) JUSTHAVENTMETUYET Trainer Forte pushes the down button on this pacing miss; draws badly but is sharp enough to get the job done over these. (1) CAROLSIDEAL Two sharp seconds in a row puts this gal in the mix; the good news is she moves back inside; big threat. (2) UF DRAGONS QUEEN took the pocket route and just got up for win honors last week; will be tough again.
