Race 2
(1) LUMINOSITY Ohio invader got the job done in his latest. Make his initial trip to Yonkers and the rail slot & Brennan should suit him perfectly. (6) DEWYCOLORINTHELINE is better this his last try where he was shuffled. (4) ON THE PODIUM was second best in his last trip.
Race 3
(2) GRANDPA DON came up a little short for win honors last time around, but this gelding does have a fondness for the Hilltop; threat at his best. (4) WINDS OF TERROR Upstate invader is very consistent. (7) DIAMONDKEEPER put in a good effort for the score recently.
Race 4
(8) GRANTOR HANOVER did not race badly in his last start and pacer is very capable of getting back to his winning ways. (2) AUTOMATIC SLIMS has hit the board in his last six trips to the post. (6) PHENOMENON put in three good efforts at Saratoga; watch out.
Race 5
(4) DELIGHTFUL DRAGON was a fast closing second in her return to Yonkers last out and this gal seems to be fit and ready to move forward. (7) RD IOU was caught for win money last time around. (8) KRISPY APPLE Post hurts but she is not out of this based on her form.
Race 6
(1) FOR THE LADIES N moves to the fence and that might be what she needs to take this select group to task. (5) CAROLSIDEAL has wheeled off two straight victories in the series; main danger. (2) ANNDROVETTE has hit the board in her last four starts.
Race 7
(2) YAGONNAKISSMEORNOT was nailed for the score in her recent outing. Pacing mare is racing well right now and moving back to her winning ways is not out of the question. (4) MONKEY ON MY WHEEL Very sharp pacing mare is a serious threat in here. (3) VENUS DELIGHT could be right in the mix.
Race 8
(7) SUMMER SMACKDOWN was facing better company upstate last out and now is back with old friends where he got the job done two trips ago. (4) TWIN B HOLLISTER is better than his latest. (1) MAINLAND KEY N just missed the victory in his last try.
Race 9
(3) BAZOOKA TERROR Pacing miss is in good form and a return to the winner's circle is clearly in the cards. (2) ROBIN CRUISER is zero for 10 this year but she is knocking at the door; factor. (1) HAYWORTH BLUE CHIP should do much better from the fence.
Race 10
(2) KEYSTONE WANDA moves back inside and this gal is seeking her first score of the year; maybe. (8) COFFEE ADDICT gets class relief but post hurts; big threat. (5) HANDSOFFMYCUPCAKE could have a say with these.
Race 11
(2) SOURCE OF PRIDE Pocono experiment did not work, so he returns to Yonkers where he got the job done two trips ago; all systems go. (6) BOX CAR JOHNNIE Gelding could make some noise down the lane. (4) UF ROCKIN DRAGON should fare well from the 4-hole.
Race 12
(7) BIG GAME HUNTER made a middle move and tired in the stretch drive last time out at Pocono. Now he is back here and this might be a better spot for him to get back into the swing of things. (2) ALLSTAR PARTNER was nailed for the victory last time around. (5) SMOOTH CRIMINAL Sabot trainee gets class relief; beware.
