Spot Play: SETTLEMOIR (8th)
MEET STATS: 20 - 64 / $119.40
BEST BETS: 1 - 6 / $3.80
Race 1
(3) SPORTY SPOOK A seems to be coming around to good form and he should make his presence felt against these. (5) TJ BLAST put in a sharp qualifier here on 1/10; serious threat. (1) VANQUISHED N just got up for win honors in his last try; consider.
Race 2
(1) SALLY FLETCHER A looks to be the speed of the speed, has the rail and Bartlett is on the return call; the pick. (2) ANNABETH took the pocket route on her way to victory last out; main threat. (3) MOTU MOONBEAM N is knocking at the door based on her last two tries; watch out.
Race 3
(4) BURNING SHORE closed well to land down the show spot in his latest so he seems to be heading in the right direction; looms tough in here. (2) SHANE ADAM takes a needed drop in class and Bartlett has the assignment; consider. (3) IDEAL TYSON A did flash early pace in his last try so he can be right in the mix.
Race 4
(2) FEARLESS MAN was sent down the road in his last trip for the score. He now moves up the ladder but he does retain door number two; the one to deny with Bartlett at the helm. (1) ABC MUSCLES BOY was no match for the top pick in their last start but he must be considered from the rail. (4) GOLDEN KRONOS moves down in class and he gets post relief; not out of this.
Race 5
(4) SHESJUSTADELIGHT N leaves the 7-hole and gets a much better draw. Veteran mare has every right to improve if she gets a better setup then she did in her last start. (3) SAIL TO THE BEACH is heading in the right direction based on her last two trips to the post; win threat. (1) GLENFERRIE BRONTE N should find this group to her liking and receives the rail; respect.
Race 6
After having a good run at Dover (3) ALDINE HANOVER makes her return to Yonkers where she was a clear cut winner on 11/19. She has speed but can also rate and make one run; using. (7) DELISHKA N is on a roll scoring her third straight victory in her Dover finale; main danger. (4) DUDESALADY just held on for win honors in her last one and she does fit with these; player.
Race 7
Will give a shot to (7) ARDIE B SPEED to get back into the winning groove. Gelding does have positional speed to grab a good early spot and hopefully she will use his tactical speed to his best advantage; merits consideration. (2) RURAL ART blasted his way out of post six to the front and never looked back; serious threat for the repeat. (5) ZIGGY SKY has been sharp in his last four starts so he must be respected in this event.
Race 8
(2) SETTLEMOIR leaves the 8-hole and moves back to slot number two where he was a down the road winner two starts back with Bartlett at the controls so now they team up once again for another shot at glory; the pick. (3) OURLITTLEGENERAL A did show speed but did not fire in the stretch drive as the favorite last out; could make a quick turnaround with a better trip. (5) REASONABLE FORCE just got up in time for win honors in his Philly finale; factor.
Race 9
(5) A CRAFTY LADY moves up the ladder off two nice scores against lesser. She has every right to steal this on the front end with Bartlett with the return call. (4) DONGAL RUNDLSCRK N gets a better draw and that could help her cause against these; big player. (2) GINA GRACE N raced evenly to hold on for show money in her last try; respect.
Race 10
(5) CHEYENNE REIJANE should get an honest pace to chase in here as he does have the positional speed to work out an ideal and favorable trip; must consider for the win. (1) FIRST CLASS HORSE was sent down the road in his latest for all the glory and now he moves to the fence; serious threat for the repeat. (3) TRIPLE SEELSTER is knocking at the door based on his last two outings; do not overlook.
Race 11
(4) BETTERB CHEVRON N rallied nicely to grab the victory in her latest. Mare gets a class bump but based on her last performance, she has every right to mow them down when the smoke clears. (3) JEWEL LEHIGH A has hit the board in her last five starts so she can put her best foot forward. (1) DELIGHTFULMEMPHISN was very game from post ten to grab the victory in her Meadowlands finale. Gets Bartlett and she has door number one to boot; not out of this.
