BEST BETS: 19 - 57 / $92.70
Race 1
(1) DUEL IN THE SUN was flying late from door number seven to grab the place spot last time out; draws the rail and based on his consistency the gelding should boss these. (5) MAJOR MARCUS was sent down the road in his last trip at Monticello for win honors; player. (6) GLASS PRINCE comes off a sharp victory recently; post hurts but he is capable.
Race 2
(4) THANK THE BANK comes by way of Delaware and she should fit with these given this is a weak group. (2) CRUISINWITHMYBABY gets post relief and that should help her cause. (5) ACEFORTYFOURAMANDA moves down in class so she might be right in the mix.
Race 3
(1) PLAYEROSA should be a perfect fit in here; draws the fence and has tactical speed; merits respect for the victory. (3) TRAVEL PLAYLIST put in a mild rally for the show spot in his latest upstate; threat. Pocono shipper (5) ASCOT ENCOUNTER A has tactical speed and he should not be counted out of this.
Race 4
(1) UPFRONT SUPERSONIC just could not get past the winner in her previous try from post 8; now she moves to the fence and good to see Bartlett with the return drive; the pick. (4) A PLUS raced evenly for fourth money in her Philly finale; factor. (2) MARVALOUS JET gets serious post relief and that should help her chances.
Race 5
Based on his latest (3) BULLVILLE KYLE seems to be heading in the right direction; gets the call. (6) CHEYENNE SEEBER did flash speed in his last try at Philly; main danger at this level. (1) LINDYTHEFOURTEENTH should be a perfect fit from the rail and Bartlett has the assignment; not out of this.
Race 6
(2) PRETTY BOY HILL was quite sharp in first start off the dropdown last out; has plenty of speed and he can position himself in the early stages and take this if he is at his best. (7) DEDIS DRAGON rallied strongly to land the placing missing by only a neck; factor. (4) ANDYS IDEAL moves down in condition so he could have a say in the outcome.
Race 7
(1) KINGSLEY B did battle for the lead at the 1/2 mile marker but he ran out of gas in deep stretch last time around; now he moves to the fence and has the speed to make tonight a winning one down the road. (5) HERE WE GO AGAIN was second best against lesser company recently; player. (4) SGT PAPA DADDY was up against it last out but that was against much tougher; merits respect.
Race 8
(1) HEAVENS LEGACY did not have the best of trips in her last try; has tactical speed and moving to the pole position should move her forward. (2) SET ME UP should be the speed of the speed but she has been tiring of late so maybe the slight drop in class could bring her back into winning form. (4) SHADY STELLA put in a game effort at Philly recently; respect.
Race 9
(4) BETTING EXCHANGE finally leaves the far outside slot and he moves down in class and the last time this gelding was in the winner's circle was at this level on May 15; ready for action. (3) PERCYS Z TAM is also on the dropdown and he does have good early zip; big threat. (2) TWIN B IMPRESSIVE should fare much better from the 2-hole.
Race 10
(3) VILLAGE JESSICA moves down the ladder and gets post relief; could be ready to score if she brings her A-game to the table. (2) NEON SKY N just missed the victory by a neck last out and she does have a fondness for the NW$10K ranks; main danger. (4) CHEYENNE TRIENGEL closed well to get the job done in her Philly finale; watch out.
Race 11
(6) DEMOCRACY N is knocking at the door based on his last two starts; good to see Brennan is keeping the faith with this gelding so at his best he can take this with a well-judged drive. (4) BAKERSFIELD took them all the way home to victory in his latest at Pocono; player in here based on his speed. (2) MCCLINCHIE N will need a better trip than in his last two tries; he is very capable.
Race 12
(3) LUCAN HANOVER is coming off a dull effort at Pocono and now he moves back to Yonkers where he does have the best success; gets the call. (1) SPEAKING OUT should do much better from the rail with a clean getaway. Post relief for (4) POWER OF A CRUISER should help his cause; we shall see.
