Race 1
(5) SYDNEYDREAMWEAVER Filly has sharp speed and has every right to boss these down the road. (4) UNDER THE BUS seems to be coming around and could be a factor in here. (7) THAT'S HOW WE ROLL got the job done at Goshen wire to window; don't overlook.
Race 2
(2) SHES A BILLIONAIR put in a fine effort at Dover last out and with a favorable trip she can make tonight a winning one. (3) SHEPULLEDTHEGOALIE Ohio invader was an easy winner last time out and now she makes her Yonkers debut with Brennan at the helm; threat. (7) PIRINEAS PRINCESS could be right in the mix if she gets the right trip.
Race 3
(4) MORE THAN MANY did not get the best of trips last out but this pacing mare is very capable of getting the job done with a well judged drive from Bartlett. (2) CHILLED DESIRE A gets post relief and that might help her cause; factor. (3) SOFT IDEA can make an impact from the 3-hole; watch out.
Race 4
(3) OCEANIA made a big move at the 3/4 pole but tired in deep stretch last time out. Filly has tactical speed and gets a good post to take home top prize. (1) YOURLIPSTOGODSEARS was second best in her latest at Goshen; player in this event. (5) NORTHERN FIESTA just missed glory by a neck recently upstate; not out of this.
Race 5
(6) TEQUILA MONDAY did not fire in the Lynch final at Pocono last out but the good news is she is back to the Hilltop where she has done her best; the pick. (4) WORLD APART was sent down the road in her last try for the victory; main danger. (3) MAJOR MASTER PIECE with a better trip she can contend with these.
Race 6
(1) OBVIOUS BLUE CHIP came very wide and mowed them down for the score in her last start at Buffalo. Sophomore filly seems to be heading in the right direction and with the rail slot, she can take another. (2) ST HELENA took the pocket route on her way to victory recently; big player. (7) PLANET ROCK could grab a share of the purse.
Race 7
(5) TOUCHAMATIC was late on the scene to grab the placing last time around. Now this pacing filly moves back to Yonkers where she does have a fondness for; gets the call. (3) ROARING TO GO was caught for win honors in the Lynch consolation at Pocono recently; big threat. (6) CLEAR IDEA has wheeled off three straight victories; don't count her out.
Race 8
Will take a shot with (3) JEWEL LEHIGH A. Pacing mare gets a good post to work with and she knows how to take home the bacon at this level; using. (6) MACH IT A PAR was uncovered most of the way and she tired in the stretch drive last out; can have a say in the outcome. (5) DELIGHTFUL DRAGON was sent down the road in her latest for the victory and she fits well with these; beware.
Race 9
(2) FEEL THE NEED A Gelding was overmatched from the 8-hole last out but now he gets serious post relief. With the right trip he can greet the cameraman for pictures. (8) EMPEROR MONTANA N goes for a new barn will need a better trip to be a contender in here; possible. (3) MIDNIGHT DYLAN N has hit the board in his last four starts; not out of this by far.
Race 10
(5) LETTUCEROCKU A is on a roll scoring his second in a row recently. Gelding moves up the ladder but his form is good enough to boss these. (2) REAL ILLUSION closed late to nail down the show spot in his last try; main danger. (7) BEAT THE DRUM did put in a mild rally for fourth last out; could be right in the mix.
Race 11
(1) ROYAL KNOCKOUT finally she leaves the far outside slot and moves back to the fence where the 6-year-old mare was a down the road victor four trips ago; came very wide to grab the show spot two starts back so this gal can handle the half-mile oval. (5) JAG OUT make a tough break at the start and lost all chance last out. She is good enough to atone off her flop. (7) ALL ABOUT MADI moves down the ladder for this event; post hurts but she is very capable.
Race 12
(1) PURRFECT BAGS is clearly knocking at the door. Gets a good post and has the services of Mr. Bartlett; ready for action. (7) TESSA SEELSTER was a sharp second against better company last out but will have to get it done from door number seven; capable. (3) CAVIART CARI ANN has put in two good outings and she must be considered in all the exotic slots.
