Spot Play: RD BILLIE (8th)

MEET STATS: 198 - 848 / $1,290.40

BEST BETS: 38 - 76 / $144.90

Race 1

(1) JK PATRIOT moves down the ladder and draws post one; can top these at his best. (6) YO CHEYENNE ROCKY put in a mild bid for fourth money last time out. (4) SPEAKING OUT Philly invader could have a say in the outcome.

Race 2

(2) KRONWALL seems to be heading in the right direction based on his last sharp effort; gets the call. (6) ICE ATTRACTION leaves the stakes ranks for a much better spot; big threat. (3) PRINCE OF MINTO returns to Yonkers where he was second best three trips ago.

Race 3

(6) SIR MACHALOT was dull in his latest but just missed glory by 3/4 of a length two starts back against better; using. (3) EXIT CAM was sent down the road in his last try for the victory. (1) JUSTIFIED led every step of the way for win honors last out.

Race 4

(7) SEVENTH HEAVEN was sharp in victory recently at Batavia and this sophomore miss is good enough to make it two straight. (3) BILLIE BLUE has hit the board in her last five tries; major player. (5) PRAIRIE DIAMONDS was no match for the winner last time out upstate but she is capable in here.

Race 5

(4) AUNT SUSIE got the job done wire to window in her Batavia finale. Now she moves back to Yonkers where this filly won at 8-1; the pick. (3) MIGHTY SURF was game with a 3-hole trip and lost glory by 3/4 of a length; main danger. (1) TEASIN N PLEASIN took a tough break at the half-mile marker, but she is capable of contending with this group.

Race 6

(5) CELEBRITY RUTH is on a roll scoring her second straight victory and she has the speed to keep on her winning ways. (1) HEELS ON WHEELS makes her return to the races off a sharp qualifier at Philly. (2) MAMORA BAY came outside to run down her competition at Batavia; not out of this.

Race 7

(2) CHAPTER TOO could not get by the winner in her latest but this sophomore filly is so sharp, a well judged drive from Sears can put this gal right back into the winner's circle. (4) SOUTHWIND TESLA has done very well in Canada and now she is back on the half-mile oval where she was a game second on August 1st; threat. (1) OSTRICH BLUE CHIP has been in the exacta picture four straight times so she must be respected.

Race 8

(4) RD BILLIE seems to be knocking at the door based on her last start; can top these with a favorable trip. (2) THE RIGHT MOVE needs a better trip to contend in here; capable. (6) AMERICAN ALIVE has put in two fine efforts so this mare must be considered in all the exotic slots.

Race 9

(3) DEUCES FOR CHARITY flashed good speed in her last two starts, so maybe this gal is moving in the right direction; has a shot for win honors. (1) CHILLED DESIRE A has scored in her last three in a row up at the Windsor fair and now she moves back here with a solid post; dangerous. (4) BEST OF JENNA was facing better at Hoosier last out and she has every right to improve against these.

Race 10

(6) MILLWOOD FAITH N was very game in her last try. The good news is she gets the services of Bartlett and with a favorable trip this mare could greet the cameraman for pictures. (3) NORTHERN DALI scored five straight victories in a row, so she must be respected despite the rise in class. (1) WARRAWEE QUALLY scored down the road last out and she retains the fence; watch out again.

Race 11

(5) HILLOSOPHICAL comes off two sharp efforts in a row at this level and if she returns to her 8-13 trip, the rest will have to settle for minor awards. (1) JIMMY WILLIAM gets serious post relief and that might help his cause; maybe. (4) ENTERPRISE did not fire last out but he should fit well in here; don't overlook.

Race 12

(2) A BETTOR HAT moves now to door number two and this should help him move forward; gets the call. Canadian invader (4) BURNING N has scored in his last three starts and figures to be a big player with his return to Yonkers. (1) DONTCALLMEFRANCIS leaves the 8-hole for the rail and Bartlett has the assignment; watch out.
