Yonkers: Friday 8/3 Analysis
Best Bet: ARQUE HANOVER (8th)
Spot Play: DONGAL RUNDLSCRK N (2nd)
MEET STATS: 142 - 705 / $980.80
BEST BETS: 21 - 64 / $101.10
Race 1
(1) TERROR AT NIGHT gets serious post relief and she does have good speed; should be the ticket for her to make tonight a winning one. (4) SALLY FLETCHER A finds a better spot to contend and Bartlett has the assignment. (2) BERAZZLED has every right to rebound off last flop.
Race 2
(3) DONGAL RUNDLSCRK N finally leaves the 8-hole however she did get the job done from way out there two trips ago; the pick. (1) FOXY DAME N was second best against lesser last out; player. (2) GLENFERRIE BRONTE N did not fire in her last try but should do much better from door number two; watch out.
Race 3
Pacer (1) SWIFT AS A SHADOW is on quite a roll scoring his second consecutive victory last time around; consistent eight-year-old should keep on his winning ways from the fence. (2) PIECE OF THE ROCK gets post relief and that should help his cause. (3) INSPIRATION VIEW leaves the six slot for a cozy post and Bartlett takes over; not out of this.
Race 4
Will give (6) GINA GRACE N a shot to put it all together; has been knocking at the door of late and with a favorable trip and a well-judged run she can take this. (2) VORST just missed the score in her latest losing by a head; threat. (1) SAIL TO THE BEACH retains the rail slot and she is on the dropdown; do not overlook.
Race 5
(5) HORSING AROUND has been sharp in his last four tries and if the right trip comes his way, he can greet the camera operator for pictures. (4) ACE OF CLUBS was no factor in his last start but he is better than that last one; respect. (2) THE ONLYEST ONE did pick up fourth money in his Philly finale and he does have some early zip and draws much better; watch out.
Race 6
Brennan will hopefully send (6) MAGIC FORCES right to the front and not look back; very capable for win honors. (5) NEWBORN SASSY did win at this condition two starts back but her last one she could get going at all; threat at her best. (2) AGENT Q came outside and mowed them down in her latest against lesser company; merits respect.
Race 7
(7) LISPATTY can fire with the best of these and she will have some pace to chase; ready for action. (1) ANGELS PRIDE was sent down the road in her last trip for all the glory and she retains the rail for the third straight time; major player. (5) ROCKSTAR ANGEL A got the job done in her North America debut at Pocono last out and clearly she is not out of this if she could repeat her last effort.
Race 8
(1) ARQUE HANOVER moves down the ladder, gets serious post relief and Bartlett is at the controls; choice. (2) ALLBEEF N NOBULL comes by way of the Meadows and he does have fine speed; consider. (3) NEPTUNE was second best against lesser in his last start; could be right in the mix.
Race 9
(5) BUGSY MAGUIRE did not have a good trip in his last start but he should have a lot of pace to chase; at his best, he can boss these with a well-timed run. (2) ALLSTAR PARTNER was on the front most of the way but was overtaken by Dr Drake Ramoray for win honors last week; big threat. (3) JK HEAVEN SENT gets a better post to work with and he does have speed; respect.
Race 10
Given her last three tries (7) WISHY WASHY GIRL seems to be ready to put her best foot forward for all the marbles. (2) BLACKNSWEET ADDA A has put in two good efforts in a row and she does figure in this event; main danger. (1) FREAKONOMICS flashed excellent speed last out but did not have enough gas in the tank and lasted for show money; do not overlook.
Race 11
(5) RODEO ROCK might find these to his liking; has every right to pounce and score if he gets the favorable trip. (1) BLATANTLY BEST took charge right from the start and never looked back recently; big threat despite the rise in condition. (3) MAROMA BEACH did put in a game effort at Philly last out and he is a solid fit in here; beware.
