Race 1
(3) ZUZU came outside and got the job done last out; can repeat. (2) ROCKNROLL VISION put in a nice qualifier at the Meadowlands last time around. (6) PLACE TO ROCKNROLL rallied strongly to nail down the victory recently.
Race 2
(4) ROYAL OAKS Filly has put in two good starts in a row so she clearly is heading in the right direction; the pick. (7) SEVENTH HEAVEN just held on for win honors last out at Vernon. (3) HOWDY JANE flashed good speed in her latest; not out of this.
Race 3
(2) DEADWOOD HANOVER makes his return to Yonkers where this gelding was a sharp third two starts ago. (1) LUCKY ART gets post relief and that should help his cause; maybe. (4) STIRLING ESCORT closed well to land the show spot last out.
Race 4
(1) SAMMY THE BULL N did show some speed last out but was flat; could make some noise from the fence. (2) SOUTHERN WINDS moves down the scale and this should be a perfect spot for this gelding to contend. (5) DEMOCRACY N is another on the dropdown; watch out.
Race 5
(5) MAMORA BAY Very consistent trotting filly can rate and score over this group. (2) BILLIE BLUE was sent down the road in her latest for all the glory. (1) RUN FOR ROYALTY should fare well from the fence.
Race 6
(3) FLYHAWK CHARM Easy winner in her last start upstate and she should keep on her winning ways. (2) AMBER ELLA has wheeled off three straight victories and is the main danger. (6) SCAREY KARIE completes the trifecta.
Race 7
(1) BARN BELLA 5 for 8 victories for the trotting filly and is back on the rail; gets the call. (2) HEELS ON WHEELS seems to be the main foe to the top pick. (6) TEASIN N PLEASIN whent down the road for all the glory in her latest.
Race 8
(3) PEACHY Two sharp seconds in a row makes this sophomore filly a contender for top honors. (6) ARROW HANOVER might be a perfect spot against these if she gets the right trip. (7) ROSY OUTLOOK Qualifier at Monticello was good enough for her return to the races.
Race 9
(5) PRAIRIE SWEETHEART Unbeaten filly has done nothing wrong and she should stay in the winning groove against these. (1) SQUEEZE THIS was a game second in her first try at the Hilltop; threat. (3) THREE DREAMS will need a favorable trp to handle this group; possible.
Race 10
(2) BRUNELLO N Gelding is knocking at the door and this he has a fondness for Yonkers; the pick. (4) GRAND THEFT makes his return to the Hilltop off two so-so qualifiers and good to see Bartlett with the call. (6) SOMELUCKSOMEROCK was second best in his last trip to the post.
Race 11
(4) STONEBRIDGE BEACH was a very game second in the Messenger last out and this sophomore colt can put his best foot forward against this group. (2) HURRIKANE ALI took the pocket route home to victory in his last try. (3) SHANE ADAM put in a nice effort for the placing last out.
Race 12
(4) DR J HANOVER has hit the board 7 of 8 starts this year and he clearly is the one to fear. (5) DEETZY has good speed and he might be the one to catch. (2) SHINOBU HANOVER stayed in the pocket but could not get to the winner in his last trip to the post.
