Yonkers: Monday 11/12 Analysis
Best Bet: CAVIART LUCA (10th)
Spot Play: ELWELL (9th)
MEET STATS: 481 - 1337 / $2,582.00
BEST BETS: 68 - 116 / $218.90
Race 1
(1) BRACKLEY BEACH hasn't been awful recently versus a bit better and he was written into this cheaper condition while drawing best. (3) FORDHAM SIXTY TWO was held at bay last week by the heavy favorite and had to settle for second best; Team Marshall 3-year-old gets post relief and should be a player. (2) QUINTSENTIAL TERROR raced decently up at Saratoga for new connections.
Race 2
(5) LEAN ON WHO is just 1 for 54 lifetime but she looks best here in this lackluster field. (1) CATSHARK paced evenly on the rim last week for a board spot. (2) ASPECIAL PRESENCE never seems to threaten but always picks up a check; use underneath.
Race 3
(2) POKERFACE BLUECHIP was a very sharp two-move winner last week taking his second straight and the Lance Hudson trainee may be sharp enough to tackle tougher. (7) BABES DIG ME was collared by a strong Tritton import in last ending his win streak at two; Alagna trainee has plenty of talent but just needs to get involved from this poor post. (3) NICOL SHARD N didn't fire with his best last out and has now missed almost a month; use caution.
Race 4
(5) DREAMS ON ME never made the gate and was about 100 lengths back last week; filly is right back in the box facing arguably a softer field tonight and she could be a decent price. (1) B FIFTEEN dominated cheaper upon shipping from Canada and joining the Banca barn; mare may have more to offer. (4) FINE ART took money and rallied well from off the pace last week.
Race 5
(1) ALEPPO HANOVER was no match from the pocket last out versus two rivals who would both likely have their way in here; Burke trainee can control these from start to finish. (2) LYONS STEEL steps up off an easy win and will probably be fishing for the pocket trip. (4) ROCK LIGHTS ships back in for the Harris barn and picks up Bartlett; may be best of the rest.
Race 6
(2) THORNAPPLE has had a bit of traffic issies from the pocket in her two local starts; Bartlett could very well have her on the lead tonight. (5) CABOWABOCUTTIE has raced well in three Yonkers starts for Bucci. (7) BULLVILLEKARLA has raced very well recently but may be done in by the poor post; consider underneath at a price.
Race 7
(5) ODDS ON DELRAY failed to fire last week chasing a well-rated pace but his prior two efforts were good enough to consider him here; Kakaley drives. (1) GHOST DANCE is coming off a scratch-sick and also a barn change; use caution. (2) XPERT BAYAMA ships in with decent-looking lines for Burke and he figures to be forwardly placed.
Race 8
(3) LISBURN was good in a couple of local starts back in September and he meets a field here with no standouts. (8) TWIN B TUFFENUFF lands another brutal outside post but he's talented enough to overcome; include. (1) WILD BILL lacks overall form for Schnittker but seems to fit okay at this level.
Race 9
(4) ELWELL has won at this level in the past and he only needs a live trip to pounce late. (2) LORD OF MISRULE doesn't seem to win as often as he should but he's back to Brennan and usually races well from inside posts. (3) STARS ALIGN A has been out a month off a sick scratch; use caution.
Race 10
(1) CAVIART LUCA managed to work out a tough trip in a five horse affair last out and still raced well; he drops again while drawing best and should be tough to deny in the finale. (3) LACHIE MAGUIRE N lures Bartlett off a Banca trainee; good angle. (4) PERFECT BET has raced well in all recent versus better.
