Race 1
(4) LUKES COWBOY seems to be ready to put his best foot forward if he brings his A-game to the table. (2) DUEL IN THE SUN will be tough to reel in with a clean getaway. (5) STATION THREEOHSIX will need a favorable trip in order for him to contend with these.
Race 2
(2) JK PATRIOT has been very sharp in his last three outings and should be poised to make tonight a winning one. (8) R CAAN has wheeled off two straight victories; tough post tonight but he is capable. (5) POWER OF A CRUISER took charge at the three-quarter pole on his way to an easy victory last time out.
Race 3
(5) JK WILL POWER should find the half-mile oval to his liking and it is good to see Bartlett with the assignment. (1) CAVIART SKYLER moves down in class and gets post relief so that might help his cause. (4) HEEZ ORL BLACK N raced evenly for show money in his last try at Philly and he could move forward against these.
Race 4
(1) ZACH MAGUIRE N is seeking his first N.A. score and he does fit quite well here. Moves down in class and gets the services of Bartlett. (5) BLOW A CLOUD N is knocking at the door based on his last two trips to the post. (3) RURAL ART will need a better setup if he going to make an impact.
Race 5
(2) BRONZE OVER N is getting closer to glory and she could greet the camera operator for pictures with a better-timed drive. (3) BARYNYA A showed sharp speed in her last try before tiring in the stretch drive. Mare knows how to get the job done and she can make her presence felt here. (1) FANTICIPATION gets post relief and has tactical speed; threat.
Race 6
(5) LADY SHADOW might have been used up in the early stages recently at Pocono. Veteran mare figures to be forwardly placed and could make a solid run to the wire; using. (8) NEWBORN SASSY is on a roll scoring her fourth straight victory; post hurts but this mare is very capable of making it five in a row. (2) ANNABETH was late on the scene to roll past them in the final strides last time out.
Race 7
(2) SAMMY THE BULL N is getting closer to making his return to the winner's circle. Has the positional speed to grab a spot early and mow them down in deep stretch. (4) TALK SHOW came very wide around the far turn to just miss the score by a neck last time out; factor. (3) MR WIGGLE PANTS has good speed to make some noise in here.
Race 8
(2) VORACITY gets serious post relief and is on the dropdown. Can boss these with Brennan at the helm. (5) SANTA FE BEACHBOY just missed the score by a nose last time around; consider. (3) TECHTOR HANOVER is knocking at the door based on his last three outings.
Race 9
(6) ARCHANGEL THREE ran a splendid race at Pocono last out and now he is back at Yonkers where he has the most success. (5) DOCTOR BUTCH returned to his winning ways last week with a three-quarter length victory. (2) BETTOR ROCK ON N was second best against lesser company recently.
Race 10
(1) OUR DRAGON KING moves back to the fence where the gelding got the job done down-the-road; will be tough to reel in. (4) CARRACCI HANOVER came from seventh to second in a flash missing by a nose; win threat. (3) CHEYENNE JEFFREY might be tailing off a bit but he must not be dismissed at this level.
Race 11
(2) GLENFERRIE BRONTE N moves down the ladder and she has tactical speed; stands to improve with a clean trip. (3) FREEZE OUT did not have the best of trips last time around; could have a say in the outcome with a better setup. (1) ECLIPSE ME N was sharp in victory last out at Pocono scoring her second in a row.
Race 12
(1) CHANGE THE RULZ N took the pocket route on her way to victory last time out. If she once again brings her A-game to the table, the rest will have to settle for minor awards. (3) SET ME UP seems to be heading back in the right direction and she will be the speed of the speed. (2) VORST is very consistent and she does have good early zip.
