Yonkers: Tuesday 10/27 Analysis
MEET STATS: 330 - 1000 / $1,814.40 BEST BETS: 49 - 80 / $168.40
Best Bet: ARTSMAH (4th)
Spot Play: UNIX HANOVER (1st)
Race 1
(4) UNIX HANOVER gets serious post relief in his second local start and he should be more involved. (6) JET PASSING goes first-time Banca; that's as good an angle as any. (3) INFORCE wasn't bad last week; consider underneath.
Race 2
(3) CUP TOWN GIRL picks up Dube today and has clear ability when she stays trotting; bet her then hold your breath. (2) CRAZY BEAUTIFUL returns locally for Alagna and the filly seems well-mannered. (6) APOSTLES CREED hails from Takter and should be forwardly placed.
Race 3
(1) GRAND THEFT qualified effectively and draws best in a field with question marks. (4) SOSSY'S KING KONG has loads of stakes experience but the lone 2-year-old in here is still a maiden. (2) MIDNIGHT LIGHTNING also qualified well making his first start in a few months.
Race 4
(2) ARTSMAH jogged in his two local starts then was second best to Roland N Rock last out at Freehold; gelding deserves top billing from this spot. (1) IWILLMAKEYOUSAYWOW impressed upon arrival and could have more to offer; completes short exacta. (3) BORIS hasn't been bad recently and he could stalk the top two and finish 3rd best.
Race 5
(1) VANGURA finished evenly last week for a minor award in a fast mile; he figures to try and line up behind (2) PAPARAZZI HANOVER and he may have more left late. The latter was an easy winner upon arrival and can certainly repeat. (4) RAYLAN GIVENS arrives from Philly off a good effort.
Race 6
(4) ROLLIN RING AFIRE recovered well from a break last out and may have the most ability in the field. (5) TAIL GUNNER HALL raced decently upon arrival and he'll likely attract some attention from this spot. (1) DISARREI could save ground and hold for a small share.
Race 7
(5) CAVAIRT LUCA has never been one of my favorites but last week's start was better and it looks like he changes barns; price may be decent. (4) RANGERS SURESHOT has done nothing wrong since arriving for Allard. (7) ROCK N ROLL WORLD exits stakes company and is clearly the most accomplished here but he's stuck outside.
Race 8
(5) SHANGHAI JACK was a good second upon arrival for DiDomenico and Dube understandably sticks with him; gelding should be firing from the gate. (1) PRINCE LAUXMONT looks awful on paper but notice he moves back into the Banca barn. (2) DIAMONDS R US drops back to a winning level and has taken two straight with this type.
Race 9
(1) KAYLA AS ships in for the Lorentzon barn off two wins and that's been a good angle all year long; worth a look in this wide-open affair. (5) STORMONT PARK arrives from Hoosier with decent form and gets Buter in the bike from this good starting post. (11) WINNING WIZARD was Sears' choice and he's been racing well in Canada. (8) UPFRONT CHIP DADDY wasn't bad in his local debut and he'll be a big price to consider underneath. Very tough race.
Race 10
(2) CAPTURETHEMEMORY broke when last seen here at this distance but that was from a second-tier start; mare will have her nose on gate today and will look to take these the distance. (10) NEW YORK MUSCLE was better last week and he drops another notch in class. (4) GREY ICE ships in, picks up Buter and appears to be a good fit with these.
Race 11
(4) FOREVER AS broke while on the move last week; give the filly another chance at a much-improved price. (1) ZORGWIJK NOVA has been solid since arriving locally and joining the rejuvenated Forte barn. (5) THERESADEMONINME hasn't raced badly in his last couple but it seems he should be better.
Race 12
(3) MILITARY BLUE hasn't been all that impressive recently but the 3-year-old lands in a decent spot in this questionable field and could be worth a look at a price. (2) ANDY RAY didn't fire his best last out as the favorite but he looms a big threat here. (9) THE LEHIGH LEGEND took no money last week from the second tier and was uninvolved; watch the board today for signs of life.
