Spot Play: FIRE IN MY HEART (3rd)
MEET STATS: 65 - 293 / $475.70
BEST BETS: 15 - 28 / $59.70
Race 1
(1) BIG SURF was nailed for win honors last out. Moves up but gelding retains the rail and is in sharp form; gets the call. (5) CHEYENNE JEFFREY showed good speed last time around and he must be considered. (3) BIG JER put an even finish to hold the third spot in his latest; not out of this.
Race 2
(1) SILVER CREDIT rallied strongly to miss glory by 3/4 length recently. Trotting mare seems to be heading in the right direction; the pick for win honors. (2) FOREVER AS moves down in class and gets post relief and that should help her cause. (3) TAKE MY PICTURE 10-year-old has fine speed and he could make some noise in this event.
Race 3
(5) FIRE IN MY HEART put in a good effort last time around and the trotter is knocking at the door; poised to get the job done. (4) PARTY ON THE RIVER was sharp last out but could not get to the winner; big threat. (7) MOOSE MADNESS lost the victory by 1/2 length last time out; don't overlook.
Race 4
(3) MOSTINTERESTINGMAN is on a roll scoring his second straight victory last time out. Trotter moves up the ladder in sharp form so the hat trick is clearly not out of the question. (5) ZETTE STARLET rallied well to get the job done in her last try; main danger. (6) DEWDLE ALL DAY rallied strongly for show money last out and she could have a say in the outcome.
Race 5
(5) BEDROOMCONFESSIONS was sent down the road in the 2nd division of the Blue Chip last week on her way to glory. She is fit and ready to take another. (2) MACH IT A PAR moves to the 2-hole where this gal beat the top pick two trips ago. (4) KRISPY APPLE was sitting in the pocket but she could not get to the winner recently; watch out.
Race 6
(5) MACKENZIE A opened up a 2 length lead turning for home and just held on for the score last week. Pacing mare seems to have found her winning form and has every right to make it two straight. (6) REGIL ELEKTRA has put in three sharp outings in a row and she must be considered in all the exotic slots. (4) SANDBETWEENURTOES is better than her last start and she could make some noise against these.
Race 7
(2) SHESJUSTADELIGHT N was nailed for the victory in her last trip. Mare has the speed to be the boss over this select group. (5) DIVAS IMAGE raced evenly along the rail and was third best last out; factor. (1) MEDUSA gets post relief and this might help her cause; we shall see.
Race 8
(3) HERE WE GO AGAIN showed signs of life in his last start. 10-year-old figures to get a favorable trip and if that's the case the rest will have to settle for minor awards. (2) STARSKYS DREAM N is clearly better than his last flop and gets a cozy post tonight; contender. (8) DRAGON STRIKES went down the road for all the glory last out; post hurts but he is capable against these.
Race 9
(1) JK PATRIOT finally receives post relief and this gelding does have speed. Can take this at his best. (4) LONE RAIDER is another that gets a lucky draw; threat. (6) THE REV flashed good early zip at his Woodbine headquarters; don't overlook.
Race 10
(1) RUN AND TELL PAP closed well to grab the show spot in his last start. Gelding now moves to the fence in hopes to make tonight a winning one. (4) XTATIC HANOVER came down the center of the track in his Pocono finale for the victory; dangerous. (2) RAISE THE CURTAIN could be right in the swing of things from the 2-hole.
Race 11
(1) FRANNEY LOVE DAT Mare makes her return to Yonkers where she has done her best running. With a favorable trip she could get the job done. (2) THREEDEE DELIGHT A was sent down the road in her latest but was caught for the victory; main danger. (5) ROCK MY WORLD Florida invader is quite consistent and she must be respected in this event.
