Race 1
(1) BOOGIEWOOGIEBRIAN was sharp down the road for the victory last time out. Gelding should keep on his winning ways. (3) UPPERCUTZ did not fire against the top pick but maybe he will be geared up for this. (2) SHOW ME UP rallied strongly to nail down the show spot recently.
Race 2
(4) DREAMZZZZ R FOR U is knocking at the door based on his last two starts; primed to boss these. (2) SAMS ESCAPE was second best in his recent trip. (5) HIGGINS was sent down the road for all the glory last out at Pocono.
Race 3
(1) TWIN B IMPRESSIVE moves down the ladder and gets post relief; plenty to like in here. (3) SOHO LENNON A also takes a drop in class and has a good post. (2) HIGHVIEW CONALL N came outside thru the stretch to get the job done last time out.
Race 4
(2) MISTER TRUTH was a sharp third in his first attempt at the Hilltop last time around. Gelding appears to be heading in the right direction and has every right to make tonight a winning one. (5) THREE OF CLUBS fits well in here and maybe door number five will help his cause. (3) BLOW A CLOUD N was an easy winner at Philly recently.
Race 5
(1) CRACKER COFFEE Nice finish for third money last time out and now this pacing mare moves to the fence; threat for win honors. (3) ACEFORTYFOURAMANDA Two sharp efforts put this gal right in the mix. (6) MACY BLUE CHIP N was caught for the score in her Philly finale.
Race 6
(8) HP SISSY was game in the pocket and just got up for the victory last time around. Mare is sharp and two straight is clearly not out of the question. (4) LISPATTY seems to be coming around and figures to make some noise against these. (6) SELL A BIT N took charge right from the start but was nailed for the score by the top pick in her latest.
Race 7
(3) HERE WE GO AGAIN closed well to miss glory by a neck last time out. He is good enough to get right back to the winner's circle. (1) BRICKMAN has scored his last two in a row at Pocono and appears to be the main danger. (7) SOLO STORY moves up the scale off an easy victory recently.
Race 8
(3) SCARLET N SILK has been facing Open foes upstate and now she moves her trade to Yonkers. Good to see Bartlett with the drive; threat at her best. (4) JOYFUL GAME invades from the Meadowlands and gets the services of Brennan; player. (6) HEY KOBE was on the lead most of the way but was nailed for win honors in deep stretch last out.
Race 9
(4) J C ONTHEBEACH is on a roll scoring his second straight victory last week and gelding is fit and ready for the hat trick. (2) ROCKIN RAMBARAN put in a nice effort last time out and appears to a prime contender in here. (1) DREAMLANDS ART gets post relief and that should help his cause; maybe.
Race 10
(1) IDEAL NUGGETS did not close the deal at odds on last out but she retains the rail and Bartlett keeps the faith; the pick. (3) ACEFOURTYFOUR ALEX scored his third straight victory and has hit the board 14 of 20 starts this year; big threat. (6) DEUCES FOR CHARITY put in a mild rally for the show spot last time out.
Race 11
(3) FRANNEY LOVE DAT broke at the start and lost all chance in her last try. Mare now takes a class drop and that might be the ticket for her to greet the cameraman for pictures. (1) EASTWOOD CRYSTAL N rallied outside late last out to get the job done by a neck. (2) KNOW IT ALL has two good starts in a row and she clearly is not out of this.
Race 12
(2) VENUS DELIGHT took the pocket route on her way to victory recently. 7-year-old miss seems to be in fine winning form and two straight is not out of the question. (1) PURRFECT BAGS returns to Yonkers where she does have a fondness for; contender. (6) TRUTH AND LIBERTY just missed the score by 3/4 length and could be right in the mix if given a favorable trip.
