Yonkers: Friday 8/10 Analysis
Best Bet: DELIGHTFUL DRAGON (10th)
Spot Play: LOTS OF LOVIN (3rd)
MEET STATS: 146 - 727 / $1,006.70
BEST BETS: 21 - 66 / $101.10
Race 1
(1) HIGH OCTANE N seems to be heading in the right direction despite the zero for 19 record this year; expect improvement. (3) MISTER ACCUMULATOR did not race badly in his previous try; factor. (4) HI HO STEVERINO was sent down the road in his last trip for all the glory and now he retains door number four; not out of this.
Race 2
(2) TRIPLE SEELSTER moves back to Yonkers where he has the best success; could rebound if he brings his A-game to the table. (6) SCARLET CHASER put in a mild bid to grab the show spot in his latest; threat. Saratoga invader (1) CRIME OF PASSION has tactical speed and draws the rail; watch out.
Race 3
(5) LOTS OF LOVIN was a sharp second in his last start so maybe he is ready to put his best foot forward with a better-timed run. (2) IDEAL COWBOY should find these to his liking. (8) PERSEVERANT took second money in his Philly finale; post hurts tonight but he is capable of making some noise in here.
Race 4
(3) LINDYTHEFOURTEENTH gets serious post relief and he does have the positional speed to work out an ideal stalking trip; choice. (1) AMERICAN ISLAND has two consecutive scores at this level and draws the rail; main danger. (5) ZIGGY SKY should fare better from the 5-hole.
Race 5
(1) NORTHERN VIRGIN leaves the 8-hole for the fence and there is hope he could put it all together if the right trip comes his way. (4) HORSING AROUND is knocking at the door based on his last three trips to the post; big threat. (3) SHOW THE FASHION was late on the scene to grab the place spot in his last try; factor.
Race 6
(8) MAGIC FORCES closed sharply to nail down the show spot recently; should get an honest pace to chase and she can mow these down for all the glory. (7) CAVIART CHERIE has put in two good second-place finishes in a row at this level; improvement expected. (6) MADE OF JEWELS AS did not fire in her last try but she is very capable of making a quick turnaround; consider.
Race 7
(8) DUDESALADY has good early zip and she will need it from her far outside slot; worth consideration. Veteran mare (2) MACH IT A PAR seems to have found a home in the NW$30K ranks; merits respect. (1) ANNABETH gets post relief and that should help her cause; watch out.
Race 8
(1) JK HEAVEN SENT did show improvement in his last try and now he moves to the fence; could make tonight a winning one if he gets a favorable trip. (4) R CAAN has been picking up checks so this one is a serious threat in all the exotic slots. (2) INDY INGOT should be right in the thick of it from the inside.
Race 9
(2) BETABCOOL N was nailed for win honors in her Philly finale; has been in the money 14 of 25 trips this year so she could be ready to get back into the winning groove. (5) MORE THAN MANY rallied strongly to grab second money recently; main danger. (3) MOTU MOONBEAM N gets a better draw and that could help her chances against these.
Race 10
(1) DELIGHTFUL DRAGON flashed good speed at the Meadowlands last week; does fit with this group so she could make her presence felt if she brings her A-game to the table. (4) BEST OF JENNA gets class relief and that should help her cause. (2) GLENFERRIE BRONTE N came outside turning for home and just got up for win honors last out; do not overlook.
Race 11
Based on her last two outings (4) LEGIO X EQUESTRIS did not fire but with some luck, she could get an ideal trip to pull off the upset. Likely favorite (2) DEWAR N SODA seems to be heading in the right direction with two consecutive placings; big threat. (1) DONGAL RUNDLSCRK N was third best last out and now she moves to the fence; not out of this.
