MEET STATS: 191 - 903 / $1,355.00 BEST BETS: 22 - 76 / $101.40
Best Bet: K JS CAROLINE (12th)
Spot Play: SOUTHWIND SERENITY (10th)
Race 1
(3) THESEYESRCRYING Very sharp in his last two trips at Tioga; with a favorable trip, he can make tonight a winning one. (2) TRANSCENDING rallied strongly to just miss by only a length and a quarter; must be considered. (5) JETTY was used up in the early stages last out; could have a say in the outcome.
Race 2
(5) LET HER ROCK had the lead briefly in deep stretch but hit the brakes at the last jump to lose by a head; her last trip should be an indication she is ready to fire her best against these; primed. (1) DEREK DELIGHT has good early zip and the rail slot should help her cause; big threat. (7) PITA has wheeled off two straight victories at the Hilltop; got the job done from the 7-hole two starts ago; player again.
Race 3
(5) GIACOMETTI has late kick; based on his last two starts he seems to be knocking at the door; can take this with a fine-timed drive from Stratton. (1) SHOW STOPPING After a brief stay at Saratoga this pacer is back at Yonkers where he got the job done on July 31st; main danger. (3) THUNDERS FURY could hang around for a share; clearly is better than his latest.
Race 4
(3) LITTLE MERMAID N She has been quite good of late; 13-year-old miss was victorious in her last two tries; has the speed to keep on her winning ways. (1) NUTMEGS DESIRE is knocking at the door and the rail slot should put her right in the mix; contender. (6) FLYING MOCHA leaves the 8-hole and is clearly not out of this by far.
Race 5
(6) BAD GIRL VEGAS did not fire against better last time out; but this gal is back at the level she was second best on August 27 and September 17 respectfully; all systems go. (5) BIJOU THEATER was sent by Bartlett down the road last out for all the glory; dangerous again. (4) BABES CHIP gets a better post and needs to relax her speed to contend; maybe.
Race 6
(3) SOLID QUEEN Based on her last three trips to the post, she is poised to boss these at her best. (1) ALITTLEEASTERMAGIC has scored in her last two tries; has good speed and will be quite tough from the fence, (4) IDEAL A LITTLE has hit the board 15 of 28 starts this year; consider.
Race 7
(3) SODYS MOONSHINE just held on for win honors last out; 10-year-old gelding is very sharp now and Brennan takes over; ready for his second straight score. (1) JUST THAT retains the rail slot and could contend with a favorable trip. (5) DVCFLYINGFRENCHMAN surged late on the scene to nail down the place spot on September 10th; watch out.
Race 8
Will give (3) CANT STOP ME NOW a big shot to put it all together; on August 6th this gal just missed the score by only a length and a quarter; quite capable. (2) DENYITTOTHEEND has very good early zip; definitely the one to catch. (1) SUMMER SNOW moves to the rail and that should help her cause; factor in exotics.
Race 9
(1) COOL LIKE THAT gets post relief and has good speed; pacing gelding could top these at his best. (6) ROCKY MOUNTAIN GUY goes for a new barn and put in two nice efforts in a row; main danger. (2) IM BLUE TOO should do much better from the 2-hole; the one to catch.
Race 10
This looks to be a perfect spot for (1) SOUTHWIND SERENITY to get back into the winner's circle; pacing mare can mow these down with a fine-timed drive from Brennan. (6) GRACE SEELSTER She is going for the hat trick after her wire to wire victory last time out; threat. (5) CANACO STAR raced evenly and was beaten by only a length and 3/4; not out of this.
Race 11
(5) COLONIAL ROAD If you throw out his most recent outing, this 8-year-old has done quite well; can be the boss with a favorable trip. (1) INVICTUS HANOVER Easy victory down the road in his last try; moves to the rail and Brennan stays in the bike; tough despite the rise in class. (3) SOMEPLACE SPECIAL gets serious post relief and has fine speed; watch out.
Race 12
(2) K JS CAROLINE has been facing open foes upstate; should find the half-mile oval to her liking and good to see Brennan with the assignment; big threat to take this. (6) GODDESSS ROSA beat lesser company by 4 lengths last time around; must be considered despite the escalation in class. (1) ELM GROVE INARUSH was clearly out of it turning for home but closed like a shot to grab the victory against a lesser group; based on her fondness for Yonkers, she can't be counted out of this.
