Spot Play: PIRINEAS PRINCESS (5th)
MEET STATS: 32 - 120 / $162.30
BEST BETS: 2 - 11 / $6.30
Race 1
(6) P H SUPERCAM should get an honest pace to chase and hopefully he can motor his way to victory. (7) NORTHERN ASSASSIN N has wheeled off two straight victories and the veteran retains in door number seven. (5) POP ICON has been in the exacta picture in his last three tries so he must be considered in the exotic slots.
Race 2
(2) HONGERHOLT RED moves his trade to Yonkers and gets a good post to work with. Trotting gelding can take this if he is at his best. (3) GOT NO MONEY HONEY is knocking at the door based on his last three outings. (5) TRUMP'S RALLY takes a needed drop in class and that should help his cause.
Race 3
(3) CHANGE STRIDE N stays in same condition and he seems to be heading in the right direction. Figures to appreciate the inside draw and he does have a license to steal this. (4) WILD WEST put in a mild rally for fourth money against better last out so he must be respected with the drop in class. (5) TALK SHOW will need a better trip then he did in his last start.
Race 4
(4) FIRST CLASS ACT did not have enough gas in the tank in her recent try. Trotting mare has every right to move forward against these and with her tactical speed, she should prove to be a win factor. (3) WINBAK NOELLE has good early trot, so she will need to relax her early zip in order for her to contend in here. (8) AMERICAN STEELE was second best in his last start; post hurts tonight but he is capable.
Race 5
(1) PIRINEAS PRINCESS gets serious post relief and it is good to see Mr. Brennan with the return call. Could be tough to reel in if she is able to get away cleanly. (4) WESTSLUCKYCAM was on the engine most of the way before tiring in deep stretch last time around but she figures to be right in the mix with these. (8) DALI DELIGHT just got up in time for win honors as the heavy favorite recently. Gets a tough draw but she must be respected.
Race 6
(2) WORTHYOURATTENTION did not have the best of trips in her latest but she does fit with this group and hopefully she will use her positional speed to work out an ideal favorable trip; using. (5) ONE OF THE FEW was no match for the sharp and speedy Perlucky last time around but he is clearly a threat in here. (7) BROADWAY CREDIT seems to be heading in the right direction based on his last three starts so watch out.
Race 7
Will give a shot to (2) EDEN PAIGE N to get back into the winning groove. She does get post relief so there's a good chance she will show better speed against these. (4) VINTAGE BABE showed life when she took a drop in condition so she should make her presence felt. (3) BROWN BRINNY did not fire in her last try, but with a better trip she can be right in the mix.
Race 8
(5) FOLLOWTHEWIND N makes her return to Yonkers where she was a solid third on 1/15. Mare is very capable of getting the job done if she is able to stay close. (4) ACEFORTYFOURAMANDA has been a hot commodity at the claim box and she clearly is the speed of the speed; win threat. (3) SUE'S NIGHT OUT has race well in her last two starts here since the move from Florida; not out of this.
Race 9
(8) ER ROCK MY WORLD was sent down the road in his last one for all the glory. Gets a tough draw however his form is solid and he does have speed but can also rate and make one run; the pick. (4) STARSKYS DREAM N has put in two consecutive second-place finishes so he can move forward in here. (1) PICKLED PREACHER race evenly in his Dover finale and now he moves to the half-mile oval and draws the rail; watch out.
Race 10
(5) SWANSEA took them all the way to victory last time out. Trotting gelding is seeking the hat trick so with a repeat effort he can greet the cameraman once again for pictures. (2) IMF took the pocket route for win honors in her Dover finale and she appears to be a major player. (6) SEVEN IRON just missed the score last out at the Meadowlands. Could have a say if he gets a favorable trip.
Race 11
(1) SIMPLY SUSATIONAL N might have been used up in the early stages last time around. Pacing gelding now moves to the fence so there's a good chance he can take these down the road. (2) ROCKIN PANDA came close to getting the job done missing glory by a neck; big threat. (4) SPORTSMANSHIP should find these to his liking and he does get the services of Bartlett.
