Race 1
(3) KINGSLEY B put in a good effort last time out and he does have every right to move forward against these. (1) SGT PAPA DADDY just got up for win honors in his latest; player. (2) SWIFT AS A SHADOW took them down the road for all the glory recently; consider despite the rise in class.
Race 2
(4) BABYLONS BRIDGE came up the fence to grab the victory in his Monticello finale and can improve off that effort; gets the call. (6) PAPPAGIORGIO was sent down the road in his last try upstate for all the glory; likely favorite. (2) TIME IS FLEETING could not get past the second choice when they recently meet at Monticello; not out of this.
Race 3
(6) INDY INGOT showed signs of life last time around at Philly and now he moves to Yonkers; at his best, he could mow these down with a complete meltdown of the early leaders. (2) HORSING AROUND has been sharp and consistent in his last three tries; threat. (1) STARSKYS DREAM N should fare much better from the fence: watch out.
Race 4
(3) L DEES COURAGEOUS raced evenly in his last try and the sophomore does have early zip to grab a good position; win candidate. (5) SEVEN IRON will need to revert to his second start upstate in order to contend with these; capable. (2) ALEX THE GREAT was second best in his Monticello finale; do not overlook from door number two.
Race 5
(5) GINA GRACE N seems to be heading in the right direction and she has tactical speed; could be tough to reel in. (2) VORST takes a slight drop in class and it is good to see Brennan with the assignment; threat. (1) ARMBRO COURAGE N takes a plunge in class and she draws the fence; major player.
Race 6
(5) BRONZE OVER N could get past a tough Lispatty last week but the good news is she now moves outside where she has had better success; win factor. (3) MACH IT A PAR moves back up in class off a sharp victory in the NW$30K ranks last time out; player. (6) MADE OF JEWELS AS has wheeled off two straight victories against lesser company; could be right in the mix.
Race 7
(1) CHASIN DREAMS was on a four-win winning streak but took a bad beat in his Monticello finale; retains the fence and Bartlett is keeping the faith; the pick. (3) HELPISONTHEWAY just held on for the victory at the Meadowlands last time around and he does figure in this event; main danger. (8) PURPOSE BLUE CHIP scored his second consecutive last time out; post hurts but he is capable.
Race 8
(2) THE VETERAN has been in the exacta picture in his last five starts and he draws door number two. Sophomore can boss these at his best. (7) DON was on the lead most of the way but was caught in deep stretch recently upstate; threat. (4) ON THE ROPES did showed signs of life in his latest at Monticello so he does have every right to put his best foot forward; merits respect.
Race 9
(1) ANGELS PRIDE is knocking at the door based on her last start and the good news is he retains the rail slot; gets the call. (3) WISHY WASHY GIRL drops in class and she is heading in the right direction; factor. (2) BETABCOOL N just missed the victory by a nose last time out at this level; not out of this by far.
Race 10
(2) FREAKONOMICS gets a cozy post and she has the positional speed to pounce and score over this group. (1) TRUTH AND LIBERTY rallied strongly to nail down the victory in her Tioga finale; threat. (4) MORE THAN MANY showed signs of life in her latest; do not overlook.
Race 11
(7) WILD AGAIN did not fire in his last try but he seems to do much better from the far outside slot; worth a shot for glory with a favorable trip. Based on his last four starts (2) R CAAN is knocking at the door; merits respect. (5) BUGSY MAGUIRE was late on the scene to nail down the victory in his last start; two straight is not out of the question with another well-timed run.
Race 12
(7) ITTY BITTY took charge right from the start on her way to victory last week. Mare gets the services of Bartlett and she can take another if she could control the tempo. (2) DUDESALADY just held on for win honors in her last try; player. (3) CHANGE THE RULZ N did not have the best of trips in her last one and she going to need a better setup in order for her to contend with these; consider.
