Race 1
(2) THEREISAPACEFORUS was very wide and charged late to take down the place spot recently; might have found this level to his liking; the pick. (4) ART DEGREE could contend with these if he gets a favorable trip; maybe. (1) MISTER ACCUMULATOR is back at Yonkers and the rail slot should help his cause; watch out.

Race 2
(2) BORN TO FIGHT Trotter was kind of dull last out; hopefully he will turn things around with different tactics. (6) MODEST PRINCE is knocking at the door based on his last two tries; his last one puts this guy in the mix. (4) FOR YOU ALMOSTFREE drops in class and gets post relief; not out of this.
Race 3
(3) DRUNKEN DESIRE A Sharp in his last trips to the post at Saratoga and flashed good speed last time out; makes his return to Yonkers and Brennan has the assignment; threat at his best. (4) ALLSTAR PARTNER is back in the 4-hole where he was a game third two starts ago; main danger. (1) SHORTSTACKED gets back to the fence; did face much better recently 25th; don't overlook.
Race 4
(6) WILLIE BOOTS makes his return to the Hilltop where this gelding has done his best; could get the job done with a fine-timed drive from Dube. (1) SOMESIZESOMESTYLE ships in from Pocono and showed good early zip; big factor. (3) COLOSSAL was nailed for win honors at Philly last out; beware.
Race 5
(4) SKY IS THE LIMIT moves down the ladder and that should help his cause against these; could boss these down the road. (6) REGULUS N was very dull from the 8-hole but was facing better; class relief will make this guy a contender. (1) HI HO STEVERINO put in a late rally for the show spot in his latest; don't overlook.
Race 6
(7) KRISPY APPLE Pacing miss was quite game in her brief trip to Pocono; now moves back to Yonkers where she has a fondness; big player in here. (4) FOR THE LADIES N raced evenly in her last try and could make some noise down the lane. (6) JONSIE JONES has put in two fine efforts and could have a say in the outcome.
Race 7
(1) REQUEST FOR PAROLE took the lead like a shot; most likely was used up throughout and faded to fifth last out; draws the rail and that should be what she needs to top these with Brennan on the return call. (2) DO YOUR JOB Quite sharp in her last two starts; could be a factor in here. (3) MONKEY ON MY WHEEL was sent down the road against lesser company in her latest; beware she has back class.
Race 8
(8) MUSTANG MACH N stays outside and this gelding was late on the scene to miss by only a length and a 1/2; with a favorable trip, he can mow them down for all the glory. (5) DUE WEST HANOVER took the pocket route home to victory last time around; figures in here. (6) OUTRAGEOUS ART could land a share of the purse but needs a better trip to contend; maybe.
Race 9
(6) ROYAL HEART put in a late surge to nail down the victory last time around at Saratoga; is back at Yonkers where he did not disgrace himself at this level; threat. (2) HEEZ ORL BLACK N got the job done at odds on wire to wire; repeat effort is not out of the question. (4) CITY HALL has wheeled off three straight victories; exotic factor.
Race 10
(7) ROCKAROUND SUE If she returns to her August 6 performance where she just missed the score, it could be game over for the rest of these; we shall see. (4) MARTY PARTY beat lesser in her previous outing; major player. (3) FAST AND FIESTY gets class and post relief plus Sears is in the bike; not out of this.
Race 11
(6) JIN DANDY put in three nice efforts upstate and this gelding's last try was against Open foes; big threat with a favorable trip. (2) CAUTION SIGNS got the job done via the pocket last time out; appears to be in fine form so two straight is not out of the question. (7) RAMPAGE JACKSON was caught by Caution Signs last week for win honors; consistent gelding will be right in the mix.
Race 12
(4) VICTORIA MAY N was over her head in the Open ranks so this gal should find this group to her liking; threat at her best. (2) KEENE OLIVIA Three sharp efforts puts this one right there; main danger. (6) CARIBBEAN ROSE N fits quite well in here; post hurts but she is very capable; watch out.
