Race 1
(1) MASTERSON should appreciate the move to the pole position and with some hope, he could return to his May 1 victory. (2) OUR REGAL IDEAL N gets post relief and that should help his cause. (3) OUR REGAL IDEAL N is another that gets the luck of the draw; very capable.
Race 2
(5) GOT NO MONEY HONEY is heading in the right direction based on his last try. With a favorable trip, he could get the job done. (1) SHE INTOXICATING has five consecutive thirds at Philly and she now is back at Yonkers and draws the fence; win threat. (3) HOLY KOLY could land a share of the purse.
Race 3
(1) DALI DELIGHT moves out of the also eligible list and she is coming off her fifth straight score. She is clearly the one to deny. (4) BELLATRICKS flashed good early zip in her latest; contender. (6) PERPLEXED closed well to nail down the show spot last out; fits with these.
Race 4
Sophomore trotter (2) SEVEN KNIGHTS can get back into the winning grove. He showed speed in his last start and with a return to his September 11 win, the rest will have to settle for minor awards. (5) T BARRR comes by way of Mohawk and has the tactical speed to be right in the mix. (4) HEY JUDY JUDY did not have enough gas in the tank but lasted for the show spot in his Philly finale; not out of this.
Race 5
(4) BYBY LANDON leaves the 8-hole and he didn't race badly closing from last to fourth in his last try. If he is at his best, he can greet the camera operator for pictures. (2) PERFECTLY CLOSE is knocking at the door based on his last four trips to the post; big threat. (5) O SUNDLAND was late on the scene to grab the show spot recently; watch out.
Race 6
(5) CHUCARO ACERO BC flashed good speed in his recent outing and the veteran can put his best foot forward with Bartlett at the controls. (1) PARKLANE EAGLE should move forward from the pole position and reunites with Jim Marohn Jr; main danger. (3) KEPT UNDER WRAPS A leaves door number eight for a cozy slot; must be respected from the 3-hole.
Race 7
(6) SPORTSKEEPER just missed the victory in his last try. Gelding has been sharp in his last three starts and she has every right to make tonight a winning one. (2) CAVIART SKYLER moves to the 2-hole and that should help his chances against these; threat. (7) BETTING EXCHANGE is on the drop-down and gets the services of Brennan; watch out.
Race 8
(4) CARRACCI HANOVER showed early zip in his last one. If the right trip should come his way, it could be game over for the rest of these. (3) NAUGHTY MARAVU N will need a favorable trip in order for him to make an impact; quite possible. (5) MEANT TOBE SHOOTER has been very sharp at Pocono and he has every right to be right in the mix.
Race 9
Sharp trotting gelding (3) MIKEY LIKES IT is clearly knocking at the door based on his last two tries; can boss these despite the rise in class. (2) BROADWAY CREDIT is on a roll scoring his third straight victory and he retains the 2-hole; dangerous. (1) BEATRICE has put in two good efforts and she fits well in here; do not overlook her from the fence.
Race 10
(3) LETTUCEROCKTHEM A gets serious post relief and gets the services of Zeron. Could be ready to make tonight a winning one if he is at his best. (1) SOMEWHERE FANCY moves back inside where he was a sharp winner two starts back; main danger. (7) TAKE IT BACK TERRY raced evenly for fourth money recently and he has late punch; veteran merits respect.
