Best Bet: LISPATTY (7th)
Spot Play: MASS BALANCE (10th)
MEET STATS: 104 - 467 / $690.40
BEST BETS: 22 - 43 / $83.20
Race 1
(4) TWIN B SPEEDO moves slightly down in class and fits well in here; can take this at his best. (1) PARKLANE EAGLE Sharp in his last three tries so the move back to the half-mile oval, the fence and Brennan in the bike can put him right in the mix. (3) PAPPYS PAL gets post relief and that should help his cause; maybe.
Race 2
(1) MAKERS MASS did not fire in his last try but if this trotter can revert to his Philly start it could be game over for the rest of these; capable. (4) DOG GONE LUCKY moves down the ladder seeking his first score of the year; possible. (2) HOT SUMMER KNIGHT just missed glory by a nose; not out of this.
Race 3
(2) SWEET TALKIN SATIN leaves the 8-hole and moves to door number two. Pacer has every right to greet the cameraman for pictures. (1) HES A LOCK moves back to the fence and figures to have a favorable trip; threat. (3) DAKOTA JACK has good speed and could take these down the road; watch out.
Race 4
(4) BUZZ gets a cozy post tonight and he did have better success at his Woodbine headquarters; gets the call. (6) TAG UP AND GO was sent down the road in his latest against tougher for the glory; likely favorite. (1) PICTURE THIS put in a mild bid for show money recently.
Race 5
(1) KAMWOOD LAUGHTER N took the pocket route on her way to victory last time around. Now she moves to the fence so two straight is clearly not out of the question. (4) SOUTHWIND ROULETTE took charge to the front but she ran out of gas in deep stretch last time out; player. (3) MY TWEED HEART was facing Open foes upstate so this seems to be a softer spot; beware.
Race 6
(4) PHAT STACKS Gelding has been a bridesmaid in his last four starts, but hey the trotter has been very sharp. He's is fit and ready to take this group to task. (2) DEWEYLOVERNLEAVER was sent down the road last time out for all the glory; dangerous. (5) AMELIOSI takes a big drop in class and Bartlett is back at the helm; don't overlook this trotting mare.
Race 7
(2) LISPATTY was used up in the early stages but she was facing a tough group of pacing gals. She is back in a better spot and she has every right to boss these wire to window. (4) NIKE FRANCO N Sharp qualifier at Philly puts her in the mix. (3) PRAIRIE SWEETHEART came out of the same qualifier at Philly with Nike Franco N; factor.
Race 8
(6) MACH IT A PAR is back in the Open ranks after showing wicked speed in the Blue Chip final last time out. Pacing mare is quite versatile and she can get the job done over these. (4) FREEZE OUT has wheeled off four straight victories; big threat again. (8) HIDDEN LAND came outside to make the Blue Chip Consolation a winning one; post hurts but she is very capable.
Race 9
(7) FOR THE LADIES N should find this group to her liking if she can put it back together just like she did on 4/28. (4) MOSQUITO BLUE CHIP Mare has put in two sharp efforts and she must be considered in the exotics. (1) CHANGE THE RULZ N retains the rail and drops slightly in class; watch out.
Race 10
(3) MASS BALANCE 4-year-old seems to have a fondness for the Hilltop with a down the road score two trips back; gets the call. (4) GLOBAL REVOLUTION must have been used up in the early stages last out; big player in here. (1) BLOWNOUTOFTHEWATER gets post relief and that should help his cause; maybe.
Race 11
(5) BETABCOOL N Two strong efforts against Open foes at Saratoga and now the pacing mare makes her return to Yonkers and gets the services of Bartlett; the pick. (6) ARIELLE LYNN was second best in her last trip to the post; main danger. (4) SUDDEN CHANGE N moves up in class off two good efforts; watch out.
