RACE 1 - (2) WON LAST FEELING came into his last start having never been 1st or 2nd in 19 local
starts....but the mile he delivered was eye catching, to say the least - as long as the price is decent, he may
be worth sticking with off that BIG winning mile. (1) ALOTBETTOR N has won 5 of 6 and 6 of his last 8
- he draws the pole for his new connections and is clearly the one to knock off....but there won't be much of
a price. (4) ARTIST BEST shows a win in 25s then a 2nd in 30s (behind #1) since the recent claim - use in
exotics. (5) DECOY was reclaimed from last week's easy victory by his previous connections - he steps up
a notch tonight, and also draws outside some other speed horses...may land on a tougher trip than he'd like.
(3) SILAS SEELSTER found some mils late pace to take hom 3rd in his return to YR - looking at a smaller
piece here, as well (6) MISTER SPOT A tired trying this level last week and now draws poorly- tough spot.
RACE 2 - The always tough FM Open: (4) KARMA SEELSTER was a close 2nd and 3rd the last 2 weeks
after rattling off 3 straight- if she can blast to the top here, she may be able to wire these (or win from the
pocket). (3) LIT DE ROSE probably wasn't at her best last week (2nd) because normally she'd win off that
trip - she's been 1st or 2nd in half of her starts this year, and the classy mare is always worth using
whenever the price is fair. (5) DRAMA ACT was better than the line looks 2 back so it was no surprise to
see her thrash a softer bunch last week - she should have built a ton of confidence off that mile, and could
be dangerous here if the trip goes her way. (1) AMAZING DREAM N just isn't herself right now - this
could be the spot where she just wakes up, but you'd want a good price if gambling on that to happen. (2)
JIVE DANCING A was trapped all the way home 2 back (off the claim) so last week's 22-1 payoff was
really quite an overlay - leaning more towards others tonight, but it would be no shock at all if she was able
to repeat. (6) MAN DONTFORGET ME has been "good" or "very good" virtually every start for months -
she's only being listed on the bottom due to the draw....but a live trip could change things quickly.
RACE 3 - (3) I LOVE ON GAIT has finally found a good groove as a 4YO and is racing well every week -
with some trip luck, she may be able to get back to the winner's circle in this wide open affair. (4) BETTER
WATCH IT rebounded from a dull one 2 back to be right there 2nd to a very sharp winner - she has 8 wins
this year, and alive trip could put her in play for another. (2) HEAVENS SHOWGIRL A was a late gaining
2nd in her YR return and has been thriving in general since returning from Canada- she takes a double class
jump here, but also moves inside...possibility. (5) DRAGONS LUCKY LADY was a winner 3 back (vs.
easier), came up 2nd best to a sharp rival in her next, then was pacing well late in her last after losing all
chance after a bad shuffle - another that could be a threat of the trip goes her way. (1) NATASHA was no
threat at all in her last pair but does get class relief tonight - hard to say if she's sharp enough to capitalize,
though. (6) VILLAGE JADE was an improved 3rd here 2 back then unable to get involved at Chester last
week - may find herself in a tough spot tonight too. (7) CALLMEQUEENBEE A has certainly taken to the
program since moving to the Dynamic Duo recently - the class jump and bad draw may slow her down here.
RACE 4 - (6) BETTER UP came into his last race sharp, but elected to just remain a spectator (didn't
leave, didn't pull, but did finish with sneaky pace behind horses)- with the likely favorite in here looking a
bit iffy, maybe this guy is worth a play tonight? (4) HIGH ON ROCKNROLL was a solid 3rd in his YR
debut and could have been even closer if not for being behind a roadblock to 3/4s - another possible value
play. (3) PI CARD A won his last pair but everything went his way in both of those victories- he steps up
off the claim, and will have to do more to win in here...we'll see if he's up for it (2) BRACKLEY BEACH
will be favored here but he's dropping in class off a miscue in his last, and is just 1 for 23 this year - may be
vulnerable? (1) SOUTHWIND ONYX couldn't stay with the winner in the stretch last week but safely held
2nd - draws the pole again, and could take home another good share. (5) MINGO JOEL just isn't on his
game right now - we'll wait for better signs before hopping back on his team. (7) BETTER B SWIFT
picked up a 3rd in his last largely due to the easy trip - may not be nearly as fortunate from out here. (8)
DESIRES CAPTAIN can be a threat in 20s from a good spot - not a fan of his in 25s, from Post 8.
RACE 5 - (4) MY MIND IS MADEUP has mostly good efforts lately, and gave it a nice try first over last
week - this feels like a good spot to leave for a pocket trip behind #7...and that may help this one find the
winner's circle. (7) TOATSMYGOATS is 2 for 2 since returning from Stga. and has shown that he can
offset these bad draws with his fast starts - remains the one to catch and beat. (8) OURRHYTHMNBLUES
N hasn't WON in some time and is listed as the ML favorite from Post 8, with #7 blasting right to his inside
- Bartlett can still find him a good trip here and be part of the equation...but he would be hard to endorse for
the top slot. (2) JK LUCKY CHARMS was able to pick up a victory last week when he was pretty much
the only one to show up into a slow :30 final quarter - ok for exotics, but he'll have a tough time repeating.
(5) ZIGGY SKY is 0 for 14 this year and really just "ok" last week - small slice only. (3) SHOREVIEW is
0 for 21 on the year, and dull in his last pair - leaning towards others, for sure. (1) I GET THAT moves all
the way inside but he doesn't seem sharp enough to really take advantage- we'll watch for any improvement
(6) BARRYWHITE HANOVER gets another poor draw, and figures to struggle once more.
RACE 6 - (4) INCASEYOUDIDNTKNOW was terrific wearing down the classy AMAZING DREAM N
two back, then rallied very nicely for 2nd last week after DRAMA ACT was long gone - makes her 2nd
start for her new barn tonight, lands in an easier spot, and looms the one to beat. (5) ANNABELLE HANO
VER was good here on 7/28, used hard early and still pacing well late for 3rd - she followed that up with a
1:50.3 win in PA, and draws well enough tonight for Bartlett to find her a good trip - could be a part of this.
(3) KICKUPYAHEELS N shipped in sharp from PA and came up 2nd best to another sharp invader - she's
on the cheaper side, but may be sharp enough right now to still be a player here (with some good ones stuck
outside). (1) MILLWOOD BONNIE N is having a terrific year but MAY be showing some signs of wear
and tear - we should have a clearer picture of where she's at after tonight. (2) ROCKN PHILLY is an "in
and out" mare that definitely showed up in a good mood last start - a similar effort tonight puts her right
back in the hunt. (7) TECHYS ANGEL A has been sharp for some time but may not get the same live trip
that allowed her to pick up 2nd from Post 8 last week. (8) CASH ROLL in is the best Yonkers form of her
career but is another that could be significantly hampered by the draw. (6) CHERYLS SHADOW is having
a terrific 4YO campaign (overall) but could struggle from this tough spot.
RACE 7 - (3) COACHELLABOUND N jogged in the first 2 legs of this "Pop Up Series" at 5 cents on the
dollar - the only thing that may change is that she may "drift up" to ten cents on the dollar against this
slightly tougher field. (1) GET ANSWERS had an equipment issue (broken hopple) 2 back when on the
lead in the stretch - made amends with last weeks victory, and seems the most likely to complete the (short)
exacta. (2) RHYDS ECLIPSE GB looked like she MIGHT have a chance to get to #1 last week but hung in
the crucial stages - good chance to land somewhere on the ticket, possibly even 2nd. (4) FRONDEUR has
hit board in 3 straight, and has twice completed the exacta behind the top choice - the right trip gives her a
chance to do it again. (6) EXTREME Z TAM hasn't left the cones for 7 straight starts but does usually
finish well for small pieces - one more time? (7) TALLCHIEF HANOVER is 2 for 2 here at Yonkers but
gets stuck all the way outside and may have trouble overcoming that disadvantage. (5) BLUEBERRY SHA
KE just missed 2 back but then squandered her pocket trip last week - which version tonight?
RACE 8 - (6) B LIKE CRUISER picked up 3rds in two much tougher fields before finishing well from an
impossible spot last week - not an ideal draw for tonight, but he may be sharp enough to overcome it if
Bartlett can find him a manageable trip. (4) SPRINGBRIDGE DUEL appeared too hot for Lachance to
handle last week, resulting in a brutal trip - he still lost by less than three lengths, and now gets a better post
and a switch to Kakaley - could be a very live player now. (2) CAUGHTINALANDSLIDE has been unable
to win since moving to his current barn but he's picked up a bunch of good pieces- finished strong last week
and can pick up another nice chunk tonight. (8) PEDRO HANOVER is feeling good again, and steps up off
a win over cheaper last week - the class jump isn't as concerning as the draw, though. (3) MY CARBON
COPY N drops in class after racing ok in his last couple - a sensible steer may allow him to rally for a small
share. (7) INDICTABLE HANOVER is racing better lately, but gets no luck with the draw - assuming he
can't reach from here, he'll look a lot better dropping to NW5000 next week. (1) JOJOS PLACE draws best
but has just been "ok" since changing barns - definitely needs a wake up call. (5) LUCIANO N is just 1 for
23 this year and that win came at the bottom level, 2 back - maybe can save ground for a minor share?
RACE 9 - (7) CANTSTOPLYING just missed 2 back and was very good last week, getting shut off on the
cones to the final turn (losing lots of momentum) then finishing strong at the end - catches a soft enough
bunch that he may be able to win even from out here. (1) MISSILE SEELSTER put together excellent back
to back 8 hole starts....making last week's dull try all the more disappointing - he goes for a new barn here,
and we'll see if he can rebound quickly. (2) HURRIKANEKINGJAMES raced well a bunch of times for
one of our highest % barns but couldn't find the winner's circle - was claimed from his last, and we'll see if
his new connections have some better luck. (3) CHANGE STRIDE N hasn't been close to sharp in a while,
and has been burning $$ along the way - he'll probably turn it around eventually, but hard to recommend
right now as the ML favorite. (4) SWAGASAURUSREX went a decent mile 2 back but reverted to his
lesser form in last - maybe a good bomb for 3rd/4th? (5) SKYWAY BILLY has some decent amateur race
form but may just be a little too cheap for these. (6) MAJOR DESIRE has struggled in his recent YR starts.
(8) ROCK LIGHTS doesn't seem nearly sharp enough to have any impact from Post 8.
RACE 10 - (1) COALFORDSNSHINE GB hasn't won in some time and made breaks in 2 of her last 4
start - that being said, if she minds her manners tonight there's a very good chance she's going to just outrun
this bunch...but definitely not one to fall in love with at a short price. (5) SHOWMEMAGIC was a dull 4th
off an easy trip last week and like most of her barnmates, has been extremely inconsistent over the last few
months - that being said, if she brings one of her better efforts she'll have a chance to land somewhere on
the ticket. (2) SEAFOOD BEAUTY had some promising starts to start off the season but her last couple
have been extremely disappointing - maybe an easy two hole trip will help her find a better effort? (6) MA
RATHON MARY hit board in her first 6 local starts but disappointed in her last pair, and has been hard to
hold during the mile at times - another one of the risky participants in here. (4) MIAMI SEELSTER picked
up a 3rd last week, but well behind the top pair - she's probably no better or worse than any of the others.
(3) ANNELIESE HANOVER had been struggling in her local starts, reversed form completely in that win
2 back then quickly reverted to her weaker form last start - it's anybody's guess as to what we'll see from
her tonight. (7) FOX VALLEY CACHET figures to sit last, looking to pass a few late for a piece.
RACE 11 - (3) WARDAN EXPRESS A sometimes comes alive at this bottom level and Kakaley isn't
afraid to leave with him - he catches a super shaky bunch in here, and it may be a spot where he can do
some damage. (5) MY ULTIMATE STAR A tends to be pretty camera shy and just hasn't been all that
sharp lately (in general) - that being said, he's used to facing better, and this is a legitimate spot to look for a
wake up call. (4) HEEZ OURPERSEUS N had been struggling before that form reversing 2nd on 7/6 - he
followed that up with a 3rd the next week, then conceded early from Post 7 in his last - moves inside, drops
in class, and is another that's eligible to race better tonight. (1) HES ELECTRIC used to never win races
here - he did much better in 2022 (4 wins), but has reverted to his camera-shy ways in '23 - would only
consider on top if the price was attractive. (6) BONDI SHAKE A probably fits pretty well with these but he
draws poorly and is 1 for 24 locally - ok bomb for 3rd/4th. (2) WILLIAM HANOVER started off well after
joining this barn but tailed off quickly and has struggled for a while - leaning towards others right now. (7)
GLACIS has been away for 3 weeks after an unexpected miscue in his last - he'll be coming from way back
and may struggle to ever get close even if ready for action tonight. (8) GAMBLINGTERROR used to be
willing to take a shot from bad spots but he generally just accepts his fate when he draws poorly these days.
RACE 12 - (6) COLD CREEK FELIPE has been good in all 3 starts since the claim, especially last week
(left from Post 8 and finished 2nd off the pocket trip) - should be a fair price, and maybe he can get over the
hump tonight. (3) SULLIVAN worked hard to reach the lead last week and was unable to hang on - that's
not really his best trip, and he may rebound for his new barn with a cover trip tonight. (5) LYONS NIGHT
HAWK jogged in this class 2 back, then almost hung on last week after getting roughed up a bit - goes back
to Stratton tonight, and he should be a very live player. (1) HOLY MOMENT came into his last with an
incredible 2 for 106 career slate - he left with a 3 for 107 record, but he doesn't seem the type to start
stringing victories together- ok for underneath, though. (4) LETTUCERIPRITA A wasn't "good" last week,
but he was better than he has been - we'll see if he can continue to head in the right direction. (2) IDEAL
LINER N wasn't terrible in his last, racing from Post 8 off a layoff - not ready to jump on his team yet, but
will certainly watch for any improvement. (8) MACH DORO A returned sharp off the layoff but does seem
to be leveling off- may have a hard time overcoming the draw here. (7) HEARTLANDBANYSBRO went
from "can't lose" to "can't even get a check" in literally one start - waiting for any signs of life.
