Race 1
(4) TATARIA moves down in class and Sears has the assignment; can top these at her best. (1) JERAMAYA retains the rail slot and has fine speed; can control the tempo with a clean getaway. (6) FUTURE LIFE was a sharp second in her last trip; could contend with these.
Race 2
(3) GALAWAY GIRL broke at the start in her last try at Pocono so maybe the half-mile oval could put her right in the mix for win honors. (6) BARN TEASE has put in two consecutive second-place finishes so she could put her best foot forward. (4) TRAVELING JANET took the pocket route on her way to glory last out at Monticello; factor.
Race 3
(1) THANKS FOR LEAVING was a game second in her last start. Now she moves to the rail and she has every right to greet the camera operator for pictures. (2) DEW CAN DEW could flash speed just as she did in her second start at Goshen. (6) KAREN HANOVER did not have enough gas in the tank and held the show spot recently.
Race 4
(2) GRAND MASTER finally gets post relief and if he brings his A-game to the table, he can boss these with a well-judged drive. (4) NAUGHTY MARAVU N showed life with a third-place finish in his last try; threat. (3) MR BLISSFULL raced evenly last time out; could land a share with a favorable trip.
Race 5
(1) WHISPER OF GILINA did show speed in her qualifier at Vernon on 6/15; should make some noise from the rail. (5) ROYALPINE PRINCESS took a tough break while on the lead but held second recently at Monticello; main danger. (7) RCS LADY ROYALE just held on for win honors last time around upstate; not out of this despite the outside slot.
Race 6
(3) WINNDEVIE was on cruise control on her way to an easy victory last time out. She is clearly the one to deny. (2) LIQUORSTOREBLUES was second best in her latest and she does fit well in here; win threat. (5) HOT CHAPTER ran out of gas as the odds-on choice last out but she could make a quick turnaround against these.
Race 7
(3) PRETTY BOY HILL moves down the scale and the gelding does have good speed to grab an early position; the pick. Jersey invader (1) ROGER MACH EM gets post relief and that should help his cause. (2) MAGNUM J comes by way of Woodbine-Mohawk Park and he seems to be in a better spot to make some serious noise.
Race 8
(4) QISS ME BLUE CHIP put in a cool qualifier at Pocono on 6/27 so this miss could control the tempo and take this if she is at her best. (3) SAFE WORD could not get past the winner in her last trip to the post upstate; main danger. (1) EXOTIC DIAMOND rallied strongly to get the job done by a head last out; prime contender from the fence.
Race 9
(4) SENSIBILITY had a big lead turning for home but was caught for the victory in her latest at Monticello; has every right to boss these down the road. (3) HANNA DREAMGIRL did not race badly in her last trip and she does fit well in here. (1) GOBI PRINCESS qualifier at Hoosier was fair enough for her to make an impact with this group.
Race 10
After some good starts up at Pocono, (8) MACHO CHICK makes her return to the Hilltop where she has the most success; post hurts but indeed she is very capable of getting the job done with a well-timed drive from Mr. Dube. (2) HEAVENS LEGACY is knocking at the door based on her last consecutive second-place finishes. (4) SCANDALICIOUS did flash speed in her Meadowlands finale; watch out.
Race 11
(2) GLOBAL PAGEANT has put in two fast qualifiers at the Meadowlands and now this Linda Toscano trained miss has every right to take these to task at first asking. (5) AMAL HALL was sharp in victory recently at Monticello and she must be respected despite leaving from the 5-hole. (1) WATER LILY HANOVER gets post relief and she has every right to put her best foot forward.
Race 12
(1) DULL ROAR was facing better in his Pocono finale and now he makes his return to Yonkers where he was a good third on May 22; if he runs back to his 6/17 try it could be game over for the rest. (3) CHUCARO ACERO BC closed strongly to get up in time for the score last out; big factor for the repeat despite the rise in class. (5) SETTLEMOIR did show speed against tougher so he merits respect in all the exotic slots.
