BEST BETS: 34 - 70 / $133.30

Race 1

(1) IM THE REAL MAJOR takes a nice drop in class and draws door number one; can get the job done. (5) BOOGIEWOOGIEBRIAN was a sharp second in his latest and he appears to be a threat. (2) DANCINGWITHDELIGHT is on the drop-down and he could make some noise.

Race 2

(2) MACS SECURE get serious post relief in here and good to see Brennan with the assignment; using (4) RD BILLIE took charge turning for home but was caught in deep stretch recently; threat. (7) NORTHERN DALI has wheeled off three straight victories and he must be respected despite the move to the 7-hole.

Race 3

(1) CHAXIRAXI HANOVER is knocking at the door for win honors. Retains the rail and Bartlett stays in the bike; the pick. (4) DAG INMY STOCKINGS put in a mild rally for the show spot last out. (2) MILLWOOD FAITH N should do much better from the 2-hole; we shall see.

Race 4

(1) CHERRY BLISS was very game in her latest and that might be an indication she is ready to make tonight a winning one. (4) SOUTHWIND TRINI 9-year-old miss did not race badly in her last two tries so she must be considered in the exotics. (6) WRAPPED TO GO will need a better trip in order for her to contend with these; possible.

Race 5

(4) MARTIAL BLISS moves down the ladder and good to see Bartlett with the drive; can boss this group at his best. (2) BACKUP A is another on the drop-down and he gets a better post; player. (1) BET TOGETHER was sharp in his last three outings and clearly he is not out of this.

Race 6

(4) WINNING DESIGN rallied strongly to land the fourth spot last out and this gelding can put it all together with a well-judged drive. (8) CHEYENNE SEEBER stays in the 8-hole but moves down in class; dangerous. (5) URBANA BAYAMA was late on the scene to take down show money recently; watch out.

Race 7

(1) MAAJAACKKOBE flashed good early zip last time around and now this gelding moves to the fence and gets the services of Bartlett; threat for win honors. (2) TWOMACSONEMACH came very wide at the 3/4 pole and was a game third in his last start; contender. (8) KINGS BARNS was extremely wide from door number 8 and just missed glory by 3/4 of a length; beware.

Race 8

(4) TALLDARKNHANDSOME charged down the center of the track to get the job done by a nose last time out. Gelding seems to be in winning form so two straight is not out of the question. (1) DREAMZZZZ R FOR U gets post relief and that might help his cause. (5) DECLARATION OF WAR can be right in the mix if given a favorable trip.

Race 9

(7) SCOOTIN FOR JOY was on the engine last out but did not have enough gas in the tank. If she gets a relaxing trip from her 7 post, the rest will have to settle for minor awards. (4) GRACIES PARADE just missed the victory by a neck last out; big factor. (1) GADSDEN HANOVER took the pocket route on her way to glory recently.

Race 10

(6) BETTING EXCHANGE seems to be in a better spot so it's possible he can make tonight a winning one if the right trip comes his way. (2) ARSENIC is back at Yonkers off his sharp performance at Saratoga last time around; big player. (3) SHINOBU HANOVER gets serious post relief and this might help his cause; maybe.

Race 11

(1) WAR DADDY has good tactical speed and moves to the fence. He can top this group with a favorable trip. (3) THISJETSABOOKIN was caught for win honors last out but he seems to be heading in the right direction; dangerous. (2) SOLO STORY should do much better from door number two and Sears has the assignment; don't overlook.

Race 12

(5) TECHTOR HANOVER comes by way of the Meadows and gelding has a good resume in 2017. Just missed his last try by 3/4 of a length and now he picks up Mr. Bartlett; the pick. (3) REASONABLE FORCE rallied strongly to nail down the show spot recently. (4) RAINBOW ROMANCE N moves to the 4-hole and Brennan has the return drive; watch out.
