MEET STATS: 404 - 1130 / $2,179.00

BEST BETS: 54 - 96 / $177.60

Race 1

(3) BRONSKIMACKENZIE A was erratic in her initial appearance at Yonkers but she did have pace, then was in against more experienced foes at Freehold; import is a big threat if she minds her manners. (6) SHELLIE DE VIE went down the road with ease last out and is an obvious threat to repeat. (4) I CHOOSE YOU took all the money and delivered last week but will probably have to go faster tonight to repeat.

Race 2

(1) FOX VALLEY B GUMP figures to have a smoother trip from this spot and the DiDomenico trainee seems capable versus these. (6) DAAMERICANSKY has been right there in all recent at Philly. (2) RED DIRT REBEL hung in the late stages last week but could be a bit tighter tonight.

Race 3

(1) COLOR ENVY finished willingly in her local debut, and clearly that was a needed start for the Lance Hudson trainee; expect more tonight. (6) SLICK ARTIST A was caught in a pretty tough field last week and managed a small share; import could be more involved here. (5) BETTERTHANGRADUATE was third best in a NYSS race when last seen locally.

Race 4

(2) TIVO HANOVER was second best last week to a sharp winner and he figures to offer the slightly better price of the contenders. (1) ARAMIS N has done nothing wrong since arriving for Tritton and he looks for four straight. (4) KEY ADVISOR hasn't done much in limited stakes engagements but the Alagna trainee figures to go well here.

Race 5

(4) AMERICA FIRST was aggressively handled last week and folded badly; he's right back in the box and I'll give him one more try. (1) YOU SAID IT finished well last out and should be much closer to the action tonight. (7) ROCKIN RUSTY gets Bartlett back in the bike and appears to have some speed to get involved early.

Race 6

(2) BO MACH was game and stubborn in defeat in his first try from Canada and he can be even better tonight. (5) AVATAR J is proven with this type and should be much more involved. (1) KEYSTONE PHOENIX almost always lands a share from good inside posts such as this.

Race 7

(6) WEONA SIZZLER A was completely ignored at the windows with his trainer in the bike last week but finished up with plenty of pace to be second best; he must be followed tonight but Stratton getting the drive. (3) BLOOD LINE has speed which puts him in play but the Takter trainee needs to show much more late. (2) JOJO'S PET ROCK arrives from Ohio, joins the Allard barn and may fit well here.

Race 8

(1) SHEZZA GNP N took the money first out for Tritton, raced well but came too late; I suspect she'll be pounded again and get the job done. (5) PURE PARADISE is an interesting shipper joining the DiDomenico barn; include. (2) ROCKIN THE BOYS A is yet another new face from Down-under who has to be considered; it's getting hard keeping up with all of them.

Race 9

(1) CONTROL TOWER just missed five back from a similar spot and Holland may be looking to control the action again tonight. (3) LACHIE MAGUIRE N returns off a good try at Saratoga and the Godinez trainee has had a very nice season. (5) FERNLEIGH REBEL N is yet another new one to take a look at.

Race 10

(1) GHOST DANCE was completely taken out of the $225,000 NYSS final when a rivel made a right turn into him; he'll be favored here going for $26K and should get the job done. (5) ODDS ON DELRAY isn't one of my favorites but he has been racing well. (4) SOFER picks up Stratton in his local return and did finish third here a couple of times recently.
