Race 1
(4) IC A FREE SPIRIT might be ready to put his best foot forward with a return to his 8/25 score at Saratoga. (7) DUEL IN THE SUN was sent down the road last time out for all the glory. Post hurts but he is capable of repeating. (3) DONAU was sharp in victory last time around and he does have every right to make it two straight.
Race 2
(5) DELCREST MASSY seems to be knocking at the door for win honors; gets the call. (3) WARTECH took a bad break at the quarter pole but recovered nicely for show money last out; threat. Monticello invader (1) LADYS BIG STORMONT has speed and the rail; watch out.
Race 3
(7) BELLA RAGAZA has been sharp in her last five outings so with that said she can make tonight a winning one despite the move to door number seven. (4) QUICK DRAFT A should find this group to her liking. (3) PHYLLIS JEAN was a game second in her last try; do not overlook.
Race 4
(5) BLUE SWAN seems to be heading in the right direction and the trotter should control the tempo; the pick. (1) SUPERIORCOURT comes by way of Monticello and the draw is solid for this; consider. (2) ELDORADO OF GOLD S should fit well in this event; player.
Race 5
(2) KAYS DELIGHT took charge right from the start on her way to victory in her last try. She moves down in class and Bartlett remains in the bike; the one to deny. (3) EDEN PAIGE N rallied strongly to nail down the place spot last time around; factor. (7) AMERICAN CHEER was clearly much the best in her latest; gets a bad draw but she can be right in the picture again.
Race 6
(4) MIDNIGHT DYLAN N gets post relief and that should help his cause and it's good to see Bartlett at the controls. (3) LONE SURVIVOR can have a say in the outcome with a favorable trip. (5) PERSEVERANT has plenty of speed and should find this group to his liking.
Race 7
(3) MASTERSON makes his return to Yonkers where he did get the job done at this level two starts back. If he returns to his old self, the rest of these will have to settle for minor awards. (6) MARTY MONKHOUSER A moves down the scale and that should put him right in the mix. (1) DYNAMITE DUDE A retains the rail and he should show speed; watch out.
Race 8
(7) BELLATRICKS missed glory by a neck recently now she gets class relief and gets the services of Bartlett; the pick. (4) DALI DELIGHT has wheeled off four straight victories; main danger despite the rise in class. (1) BYE BYE MICHELLE closed well for the show spot in her latest; solid contender from the fence.
Race 9
(2) A BETTOR HAT gets out of the 8-hole for a much better slot. Gelding can boss these if he is at his best. (1) MILLIONDOLLAR WAVE gets post relief and that should help his cause. (4) PARKLANE EAGLE put in a mild bid for show honors recently; do not overlook.
Race 10
(3) PERFECTLY CLOSE is clearly knocking at the door. Has the tactical speed to put his best foot forward; choice. (7) SPORTSKEEPER was solid in victory last out. Post hurts but he is capable. (4) SAMMY THE BULL N took the pocket route on his way to glory in his Philly finale; threat.
