BEST BETS: 21 - 71 / $101.10
Race 1
(2) ELEKTRA EXPRESS did not race badly at Pocono and now she moves back to Yonkers and gets a better post. (4) YOGA PANTS flashed good speed in her Pocono finale; threat. (3) CHERRY BLISS gets post relief and that should help her cause.
Race 2
(2) SILVER ARROW has done quite well in his last three outings; at his best, he could take this with a favorable trip. (1) MACH N CHEESE should do better from the rail with the right trip. (3) THOR DE VIE put in a sharp qualifier at Monticello on 8/21; watch out.
Race 3
(3) PREPPY ART seems to be heading in the right direction; has every right to make tonight a winning one with a well-judged run. (5) BETTORS GLASS moves down the ladder and veteran could make some serious noise. (1) BALI did not have enough gas in the tank last out however, he does retain the rail slot; consider.
Race 4
(3) RUMBLE might have been used up in the early stages recently at Harrington. Sophomore gelding fit well in here and if the right trip comes his way, he could greet the camera operator for pictures. (6) CASUAL COOL did not fire in his last trip but he is capable of making a quick turnaround against these. (2) DECISION DAY gets a better post and has tactical speed; could have a say.
Race 5
(5) BEACH MEMORIES was no factor against Open foes upstate last out and this should be a perfect spot for this gelding to get back into the swing of things if he brings his A-game to the table. (3) NATIONAL SEELSTER was second best at big odds recently; threat. (2) SUNKEN TREASURE will need a better trip than in his last try; possible.
Race 6
(3) OUR GAMMA LADY N is better than her last two tries and now she gets a much better post; with a return to her 7/17 win, the rest will have to settle for minor awards. (1) ACEFORTYFOURAMANDA showed signs of life in her last start; player. (4) SKINNY DIPPER gets class and post relief; not out of this.
Race 7
(1) OSTRO HANOVER knows how to get the job done against Sire Stakes foes and he moves to the golden rail; gets the call. (6) COURTLY CHOICE has wheeled off two straight victories upstate; post hurts tonight but he is capable. (8) REAL SURREAL was late on the scene to nail down the show spot in his Tioga finale; consider despite the move to the far outside slot.
Race 8
(3) GHOST DANCE will need a better trip than he did in his last two starts; capable of showing speed against this group so with that said I will take a shot with him to get the job done. (7) ROOTIN TOOTIN has been sharp in his last four tries and he should have no problem from door number seven; dangerous. (5) TWIN B TUFFENUFF just missed the victory by a nose in his Pocono finale; factor.
Race 9
Veteran (5) MIDNIGHT DYLAN N is very capable of moving forward off his sharp second-place finish last out; the pick, (2) TRIPLE SEELSTER was sent down the road in his last trip for all the glory; main danger. (1) CHEYENNE REIJANE beat lesser company wire-to-window last time around; could have a say in the outcome.
Race 10
(5) OUR REGAL IDEAL N might find these to his liking but he will need a well-timed drive from MacDonald to bring this gelding back into the winner's circle; possible. (6) LETTUCEROCKTHEM A showed life in his recent outing to land the place spot; factor. (3) BIG JER is knocking at the door based on his last two trips to the post; not out of this.
