Race 1
(2) CANBEC KINGKAZIMIR was racing well when last seen locally and he has a post edge on his main rivals. (4) HANDS OFF FRANK moves into the Banca barn and must be considered despite the missed time. (5) GOKUDO HANOVER has been showing live moves over at Pocono.

Race 2
(3) MASSIVE TALENT returns with much-needed class relief for Allard and seems capable of awakening. (4) AZUCAR was also facing better out of town and should go well here. (1) CARNEGIE rarely wins but is usually around and the veteran can land a share.
Race 3
(4) HI HO STEVERINO returns off a win at Philly and still qualifies for this reduced level; top billing as Bartlett's choice. (3) JUSTA CAMILION likely needed last week's start and can be better today. (2) DEMOCRACY N finally got a win for his new connections and can build off that effort.
Race 4
(1) SURFACE TENSION held for a share off an uncovered trip last week and the post relief can get him over the top. (2) SCOTTISH CROSS will likely try to take them coast to coast. (3) LILY'S SWAN POND gets Stratton in the bike today and can show more.
Race 5
(7) KIWI IDEAL N has been a big disappointment this season but he showed some life last out at The Meadowlands and it's impossible not to endorse him at this basment level. (3) MISTER TRUTH is another with plenty of class who must be included. (5) LITTLE MICHAEL B is winless on the year but does seem capable with these.
Race 6
(8) LUCKY COLBY needs some help from this spot but he's more than capable of getting the job done. (3) AUSPICIOUS HANOVER returns to Yonkers with some needed class relief. (2) GABE THE BEAR DEAN has Stratton driving for Schnittker, which has been a live angle.
Race 7
(7) HONOR AND SERVE has raced big in defeat for Svanstedt in two legs of the Graduate and he's really tough to look past versus these. (5) SHE'S UNCORKED has raced very well in her two starts for Del Cid; Sears drives again. (6) JAYPORT ALL MUSCLE ships in from Saratoga for the Roberston barn and picks up leading driver Jason Bartlett.
Race 8
(2) APOSTLES CREED raced well in three local starts coming up second best in each; Bartlett's back driving and he should work out a very live trip from this spot. (5) CLOUD NINE HANOVER seemed a bit overmatched in PA Sire Stakes action and should fine these more to his liking. (10) CELEBRITY LAMBERT has really done nothing wrong locally for these connections. (6) POINTBLANK HANOVER has some minor stakes experience and may appreciate the change in scenery.
Race 9
(3) BAHAMA MAMA AS ships from Indiana for the Lorentzon barn, and that's an angle that's worked in the past. Consider if the price is right. (7) MILLBROOK HANOVER is antother who hails from Svanstedt and must be included. (2) GONEINAPUFFOFSMOKE has looked good in his brief career for Smith/Garland.
Race 10
(4) CUPID is still winless in his career for Smedshammer but he raced much better last week with Lasix added and Brennan driving. (8) SODERBERG was a winner in his local debut for Takter but he's got to overcome the outside post today. (7) MUSCLESANDMARTINIS rallied nicely last week and Zeron drives again. (2) MASTER CLASS has hit the board in three of four since arriving.
Race 11
(5) WILD SMILE always seems to put in an even effort to land small shares but he could step it up a notch today against a very suspect group. (7) MODEST PRINCE hasn't exactly impressed this year but if right the Toscano trainee is likely best. (3) BRICKYARD CLASSIC is more than capable of landing a share for Ray Baynes. (2) CALIPARI can be close up throughout from this inside post.
Race 12
(6) JUMBO JET gets Brennan in the bike today for Vallee and the import seems faster than these. (2) JUST PLAIN LUCK has looked bad in his last couple but clearly he's capable of better. (1) BOOGIEWOOGIEBRIAN gets needed post relief and can hang around for a share.
