Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card, the 0.50 Pick 5 rolls in Race 5 and it has a $10,000 guaranteed pool. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 7, and the sequence will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 7

3-American Mercury (5/2)-Was bet down to 4/5 and didn't disappoint in last. Wired the field in 150.2 from this same post and now steps up. Joe B needs to provide a sharp steer as there is gate speed inside. But will respect chances to double up off his last effort.
4-None Bettor A (7/2)-Ships back from Batavia after getting stuck with the 8-hole. Could land right behind the one above off the gate and should offer a fair price. Has won 20 of 60 starts here and is riding a 4 race Yonkers win streak but hasn't faced this kind.

Race 8

3-He's Special N (7/2)-Drops, gets post relief and Brennan could land on top with this post draw. This is the 1st start for the
Di Domenico barn and could be tough to catch if the 4-year-old gets an easy lead.
4-Pinebush Lifesaver (5/2)-Beat the $50k claimers here 2 back and now lands at a fortunate level. Needs a good trip plus an honest pace to take a picture and both could happen tonight.

Race 9

1-Nandolo N (5/2)-This looks like another chalky race. The veteran draws the rail and is back in at the level of its last win. Best to respect but will not offer any value.
2-Jack's Legend N (2-1)-Has been in sharp form and steps up but has beaten this kind at Yonkers this summer. Kakaley could land on the engine and not look back.

Race 10

1-Caviart Sargent (6-1)-Will look for some prices in what appears to be a race without a standout. The Height barn has been ice cold, but this is soft spot and should be competitive. Has the gate speed to race near the top of stack and could get sucked around at a nice price.
2-Shine A Light (5/2)-Per Engblom entry is probably the one to beat and fits with this crew. The issue is a lack of gate speed and needs an honest pace. The good news is Bartlett will be steering and he finds ways to win.
3-Huntanover (7-1)-Ran into 2 well-meant winners in a row, should be a solid price and Stratton has some gate speed to use. Could get a cozy trip and be in striking range turning for the wire.
7-Frequent Image (9/2)-Won easily last time in 151.3 to take its 2nd straight picture. Steps-up again, Kakaley may leave and should land in a good seat. Best to not overlook and hopefully won't be over bet.
