Yonkers: Tuesday 1/23 Analysis
Best Bet: RICIMER A (11th)
Spot Play: BASS PLAYER (5th)
MEET STATS: 6 - 46 / $54.20
BEST BETS: 1 - 4 / $4.90
Race 1
(4) AMERICAN ALIVE moves down the ladder and good to see Bartlett stays in the bike. At her best she can make tonight a winning one. (1) CRUISINWITHMYBABY put in a good rally in her last try to just miss glory by 1/2 length; player. (6) GLAMORGAL will need a better trip than in her last start on order for her to contend with these; possible.
Race 2
(4) KOKANEE SEELSTER Gelding did not fire in his last try but he faces no tigers in this event. A favorable trip could put this guy right back into the winner's circle. (5) BETTOR BELIEVE IT Florida invader has tactical speed and he fits with these; threat. (2) WINNING was sent down the road in his latest upstate for all the glory; watch out.
Race 3
(1) AMERICANGIRLFRIEND was nailed for win honors in her last trip to the post. She retains the fence for a new barn and stays in same company; gets the call. (3) CHERRY BLISS is knocking at the door based on her last two tries. (5) SAGE N moves down in class and that might help her cause; maybe.
Race 4
(8) MACHO CHICK seems to be back in winning form. Mare closed strongly to grab the place spot from door number eight three tries back. She has every right to mow these down with a well judged drive. (4) ASHOKA ACE was a game second last time out and she must be respected in here. (1) ACEFORRTYFOURAMANDA took charge at the 1/4 pole on her way to victory recently. She could contend despite the rise in class.
Race 5
(4) BASS PLAYER is seeking his first score of the year and in her last start might be an indication he is ready to put his best foot forward. (2) IDEAL SON has put in two good efforts in a row and he figures to be right in the mix. (1) GRAND THEFT gets serious post relief in here and he clearly must be considered in all the exotic slots.
Race 6
(3) SHESGOTTHEBEAT Mare is back at Yonkers where she has the best success. With a perfect trip she could greet the cameraman for pictures. (4) A CRAFTY LADY gets a better post to work with and gets the services of Bartlett; factor. (1) OUR ELS DREAM N Nine year old mare moves back inside and she should make an impact against these; not out of this.
Race 7
(1) CAPOZZO showed signs of life in his last trip with a third-placed finish. Seven year old draws the rail and if he gets the right trip the rest will have to settle for minor awards. (3) TALK SHOW moves down the ladder and that might help his chances in this event. (4) VERSADO just got up for the victory in his Freehold finale; don't overlook.
Race 8
(1) PASULTIMATEDELITE N lost all chance when she broke late last time out. She now draws the fence and that might be the ticket for this veteran mare to get the job done. (3) BARYNYA A has done quite well in Jersey and now she will try to get in the thick of it on the half-mile oval. (2) LIGHTNING MACH N should do much better from door number two; beware.
Race 9
(5) MASTERSON Gelding fits with these and Dube will try to get this pacer back in the winner's circle if he's given a favorable trip. (4) STIRLING ESCORT moves now to Yonkers off two dull efforts at the Meadowlands; capable to make a quick turnaround. (3) NATURAL LEDA could be right in the mix if he reverts to his 1/8 trip; watch out.
Race 10
(3) ARMABLUECHIPBOY N Drops in class, gets serious post relief and has tactical speed; plenty to like with this gelding; all systems go to make tonight a winning one. (1) DOCTOR BUTCH was second best at odds on last out and now the millionaire will try the fence for glory; big threat. (2) MORE DRAGON rallied nicely to nail down the show spot recently; consider.
Race 11
(2) RICIMER A put in a nice effort in his 2018 debut missing the victory by a length. Seven year old has every right to be the boss over these at his best. (5) ACTING OUT came very wide to grab the show spot in his latest; player. (1) DREAM OF LUCK Very consistent pacer has the fence and clearly he could be the main danger in here.
