Race 1
(4) BOOGIEWOOGIEBRIAN is clearly knocking at the door based on his last two sharp efforts; primed to boss these. (1) BIG SURF gets post relief and could be the main danger in here. (3) UPPERCUTZ rallied nicely to nail down the show spot recently.
Race 2
(1) KRONWALL had a easy lead but tried in the stretch run last time around. Trotter appears to be heading in the right direction; gets the call from the fence. (2) LIFE WELL LIVED moves to door number two and could have a big say in the outcome. (3) MERRY HANOVER Pennsylvania invader has been quite good this year; watch out.
Race 3
(1) NICE TRIP moves to the Hilltop and gets the rail. Pacing mare has every right to greet the cameraman for pictures. (2) CANACO STAR 11-year-old might have seen better days but she catches a weak group; threat. (6) CLEAREDFORTAKEOFF is back at Yonkers and Brennan signs on; don't overlook.
Race 4
(5) WRAPPED TO GO was leading most of the way but did not have enough gas in the tank; all systems go to put her best foot forward. (4) SHE SAID gets post relief and that might help her cause; maybe. (6) GOLD STAR DYNASTY has two good seconds in a row; not out of this.
Race 5
(2) HIGHVIEW CONALL N moves down the ladder and draws door number two; the pick. (1) THAT MAN OF MINE did not fire in his last try but he does figure in here; player. (4) BUCKLE UP was up against it at the Meadowlands and now he moves back to the Hilltop where he was a good fourth; don't sell short.
Race 6
(8) CHOCOLATE CRACKERS gets class relief and was sharp for the placing two starts back from the 7-hole; capable of getting the job done. (2) STYXIT TO EM N is 0 for 14 this year but he does fits with these. (5) VERSADO did not race badly in his Philly finale; watch out.
Race 7
(1) TROTAMUNDO is zero for 18 this year but this gelding now moves to the half-mile oval and good to see Bongiorno at the helm; ready for action. (2) STARLIGHT AS took a bad break at the start but this trotter is better than his last one. (5) TWO TWOS was on the engine most of the way but tired in the stretch drive in his Philly finale; beware.
Race 8
(7) MISS OLIVIA MAE Sophomore filly has hit the board in her last four starts and she does has the tactical speed to make tonight a winning one. (2) FUMATA BIANCA was caught in the last jump last time out at Philly; main danger. (5) GOLDEN KRONOS took charged at the 1/4 pole on his way to a easy victory upstate last out.
Race 9
(2) ZIGGY SKY gets a lucky draw and Brennan keeps the faith; ready to boss these at his best. (1) JOE HILL is another with post relief and moves to the fence; second best. (3) REASONABLE FORCE seems to have a fondness for Yonkers and could have a say against these.
Race 10
(6) MACS SECURE was sent down the road on her way to an easy score last time out. She is in sharp form so two straight is clearly not out of the question. (2) FOUR HOUR NAP raced evenly and held show money in her latest; big threat. (4) HEY KOBE should do much better from the 4-hole; we shall see.
Race 11
(5) HI HO STEVERINO leaves the 8-hole and gets a cozy slot to get the job done and good to see Holland back in the bike with this 10-year-old. (6) MIDNIGHT LIGHTNING is knocking at the door based on his last two trips to the post. (4) CAVIART SKYLER is another with post relief; not out of this.
Race 12
(6) SHINOBU HANOVER In his last start he rallied strongly to grab the show spot so it seems he is ready to get back to his winning form. (5) LORD OF MISRULE moves down the ladder and gets class relief; dangerous. (2) LUCIANO N is also on the dropdown and gets the 2-hole; watch out.
