Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card. The $1.00 Pick 5 has a $10,000 guaranteed pool and rolls in Race 5. The $2.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 6, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 6 (8:25 PM ET)

1-Just Enuff Stuff (2-1)-You could call this field a group of $30K claimers trying to win at the $40K claiming level. But this is the first time in for Per Engblom, recent form has been good, and Jason Bartlett could control the race and that might be the winning difference.
5-Speaker of Peace (7/2)-This 5-year-old was claimed by Jared Bako in its last start on 9-8. Not loving the fact, it hasn’t raced since then. But this is a stalker that fits with this bunch, and the race could set up for Brent Holland to roll by down the lane.
6-Cut N Run N (9/2)-Doug Dilloian is trying to place the veteran in with a field he can beat. Has been off since 2-10, then tried the $60k claimers and came with a dull performance. Last week, raced much better versus the $30k claimers but was beaten by a neck. Using because George Brennan takes over and will look for the pedal to be down. Should offer a square price and could be ready to win in the 3rd start off the bench in a field without a standout.

Race 7 (8:45 PM EDT)

2-Rock The Belles (7/2)-Tried to wire the last field, faded down the lane and now gets some needed class relief. The driver change to Colin Kelly could make a difference. He has options with this post draw, and might go off at higher odds than the morning line.
4-Soho Santorini A (2-1)-This is the 3rd start stateside for the Aussie bred and was handled conservatively in its debut. Then missed a race and was better in the last start to come 3rd. Could have been a bit short even with an efficient trip. Now there are multiple changes, drops, comes back in sequence, plus Jason Bartlett takes the lines. Looking for the wrapper to come all the way off tonight. Bartlett and the Dilloian barn click at a 48% win rate.

Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)

2-Admiral Hill (6-1)-This is a scattered group of Open Pacers and will use the Admiral with an inside post draw. Loses Bartlett but Colin Kelly can work a top of the stack trip and stay close to the leader. Should offer a nice price, has won 3 of 12 at Yonkers and with the right trip could extend that total.
3-Catalpa Rescue A (5/2)-Winner of 3 in a row jumps up a few levels. Bartlett is in spot to get the lead if not off the gate, early in the mile. Not going to play against because we probably haven't seen the Scott Blackler trainee’s best race yet.

Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)

1-Wattsup Sunshine A (5/2)-Has been facing considerably tougher and now drops to the level of the last win that was on 7-28. Brent Holland takes the lines, and he can rate a horse on a 1/2-mile track as good as any of the Yonkers regulars. Holland posts 25% winners when steering for trainer Shaun Vallee, and this looks like a gate to wire opportunity at a short price.
