Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card. The $2.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 7, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 7 (8:45 PM EDT)

2-Dire Straits (3/2)-Winner in 2 of the last 4 and took a picture last time in its Yonkers season debut. Jason Bartlett gets the nod, steps up and should get a cozy trip.
6-Vinny De Vie (8-1)-Tried to go gate to wire at Tioga and finished 2nd in last. The race before cashed a 2nd place check in a race at YR. Scott Zeron steers and should be headed to the top. Could be tough to tackle with a soft quarter. If the chalk wants the top, a pocket trip could work well also.

Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)

2-Promiseland A (5-1)-Might offer some value and should be a player with an inside post draw. Does well racing near the top of the stack and Bartlett should be seeking that type of trip as soon as the wings fold.
7-Walkin On Sunshine (3-1)-Put in sharp effort to down the Invites last time. Used a 54.3 back half to roll by down the lane. The post draw helps the price and makes it a challenge. But best not to overlook the chances of another trip to the winner's circle.

Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)

7-Kiss My Cheek (4-1)-Went gate to wire at 2/5 in last and will take a swing that same plan can work here. Steps up, draws outside so could offer some value. Team Stratton entry looks for its 3rd straight picture, and if lands in a good early seat that could happen.

Race 10 9:45 PM EDT)

1-Kat (3/2)-Recent form has been dull but has won 3 of 10 at YR and drops to a soft spot. Austin Siegelman should be racing near the top throughout. This is wake-up time and can win off that type of trip.
7-Chillin Bythe Pool (10-1)-The 6-year-old has some gate speed but picks its spots. Drops and this feels like an opportunity to blast out and get a close-up seat. Could be a player with an aggressive steer from Brent Holland and should offer a solid price.
