Best Bet: BREAKTIME HANOVER (3rd)
Spot Play: THEARTOFCONFISION A (8th)
Race 1
(1) LILMISSTALKSALOT closed well in his last try. Filly draws the rail and could take down another. (2) MYMEGARICHMOTHRNLO lost all chance last out when she broke at the start; can rebound against these. (4) PLACE TO ROCKNROLL flashed speed at the Meadowlands last time around; watch out.
Race 2
(8) CREDITOVER Trotter has good speed and seems to like the far outside post; can take this for her first score. (5) SEVEN MAGIC WORDS was sent down the road last out for all the glory; threat with Campbell at the helm. (1) RUNNING PRAYER was second best at Tioga in her most recent outing.
Race 3
(2) BREAKTIME HANOVER made a big move at the 1/2 mile pole but tired in the stretch run last out at Vernon. Gets a good post and good to see Bartlett with the assignment; gets the call. (6) WINNING LINC finished fourth in a Meadowlands stakes event last out now he returns to Yonkers where he was a fast closing third three starts back; main danger. (3) OK IMAGINE could land a share of the purse.
Race 4
(2) SEVEN DIAMONDS led most of the way but did not have enough gas in the tank and she had to settle for the show spot upstate on Aug. 5th; can boss these at her best. (6) ETERNAL FLAME AS Sharp in her last three outings; big player in here. (3) HOWDY JANE is better than her last flop and could make a quick turnaround.
Race 5
(3) CHERRY ROYAL RUBY was dull in her last two but the good news is she faces a weak group and by default she can top these for all the glory. (2) ARIES DE VIE is seeking her first score and she might find these to her liking. (1) REVEREND NANNY could have a say from the rail.
Race 6
(5) MAMORA BAY has been in the trifecta picture in all of her starts. Filly is very capable of getting the job done against this group. (6) FLYHAWK CHARM has good speed and she must be considered in all the exotic slots. (1) ZDENKA retains the rail and was a good third last out at Tioga.
Race 7
(6) MAEWEGONOW missed glory by only a head last time out. Trotting miss can rate and score against this group. (4) AMBER ELLA put in a nice run to grab the victory last time around. (5) MIGHTY SURF is unbeaten in four starts; post hurts but clearly not out of this.
Race 8
(4) THEARTOFCONFUSION A put in a mild rally for the fourth spot in his Pocono finale. Gelding cruised to an easy victory two trips ago so he does have what it takes to make tonight a winning one. (3) ERIDANUS N moves down in class and gets post relief; big threat. (6) TWIN B IMPRESSIVE just missed glory by a nose last time out; must be considered.
Race 9
(4) FIFTY SPENDER leaves the 8-hole for a cozy post and this mare figures to get a favorable trip and could greet the cameraman for pictures. (1) PEACHY was on the rim and grinded out a victory at Saratoga last time around; player. (7) AMERICAN IMAGE rallied strongly to nail down the place spot in her last trip to the post.
Race 10
(3) BRUNELLO N has scored in his last two starts and this gelding is in great form; the hat trick is not out of the question. (2) ANGS DELIGHT flashed good speed and led most of the way but tired in deep stretch last out; contender. (7) PAN OF STEEL very consistent gelding has been on the board in his last four starts; beware despite the move to the far outside post.
Race 11
(5) DIVAS IMAGE has gotten the job done in her last three outings and this filly is very rare form; can keep on her winning ways. (3) ARIELLE LYNN could not hold the lead in her last try but she figures to be a factor in here. (4) MYDELIGHT BLUECHIP rallied strongly to nail down the third spot in her Pocono finale; don't overlook.
Race 12
(7) MACHERATI moves up in class but he catches a weak group of pacers in here; all systems go to make tonight a winning one. (2) LONE SURVIVOR was sent down the road in his last try for the victory last time out; main threat. (4) LYONS LEVI LEWIS Sharp qualifier at Monticello can put this 4-year-old right in the mix.
