RACE 1
2-Eazy Pass – Muscle Hill filly with a $200,000 price tag qualified stride-for-stride with Boaster Coaster, draws inside that rival & has a big chance to trip out for a graduation day
8-Boaster Coaster – Team Takter tuned Trixton colt hit the board in four of just five career starts, including two wins @ The Red Mile, qualified in solid fashion, a threat despite post eight
1-Sumbigbank Hanover – 3YO gelding was a bit better in his second start here, maybe Scott Zeron coax some gate speed from the rail & we’ll see more
RACE 2
3-Master Conrad – Has been noticeably better landing on the fringes in his last two, had some late pace from an impossible spot last week, moves inside & his barn can do no wrong
6-Big Sweep Osborne – Slow start from post eight, caught in a dull flow, then forced wide around a break on the final turn, runner up to the raging Statesman N before that
1-Rockin Rambaran – 11YO warhorse with 54 career wins got jammed up in a shuffle last week, just missed with a perfect trip two starts back, in line for another ideal trip form the rail
RACE 3
5-Bettor Notbitter A – Better result when he closed from a tough spot to grab second last week, back half in :56.2, draws better & might be on the verge in his fourth start off the bench
7-Bettor BB – Has hit the board in his last three, just missed two starts back off the claim with a :27.2, chased a red-hot Statesman N from post ten last week, poised & overdue
1-K-Lees Shakenbake – Flashed a positive third two starts back, then regressed from post eight, now moves inside, hasn’t raced in three weeks, but owns plenty of back class
RACE 4
6-Knightofvictory – Not a bad comeback from post seven before the early miscue last week, just one for his last 32, but still a fresh item for a productive barn & retains Dexter Dunn
3-Charlie Ona Harley – Shuffled & pace compromised, yet finished willingly for minor spoils last week, a close second with a late surge before that & draws inside again
2-TT’s D-Jay – Sports a 1:54.3 mark here in 2020, gets another chance at this bottom level, draws inside off a sick scratch & picks up The Bionic Man
RACE 5
1-Sugartown – Claimed off an eye-catching 1:52 win on March 6, moves inside off a sharp rally from post eight, back half in :56.2 & owns speed
3-Preppy Art – Preppy finally moves inside on a form spree, goes for three in a row fresh off the claim & his latest win came with broken equipment
5-Always A Force – His lone win this season came in a well-rated effort back on Feb. 19, chance to rebound off a pair of no-chance trips with a midpack stalking trip
RACE 6
1-All American N – Stayed flat in his last two & showed further improvement against better last out, drops back down to a winning level, lands the rail again & retains Andrew McCarthy
3-Champion On Ice – Switched to Team Bongiorno, removed trotting hopples & responded with a decisive romp from post eight @ Pocono, draws inside here brimming with confidence
4-Uncle Hanover – Dropped to the bottom level & responded with a hard-charging second last week, a threat off that inspiring effort & rewarded with an improved post
RACE 7
6-Gottalovemyshadow – Caught in an impossible spot last out & now drops back down to the level of the hard-charging win back on Feb. 26, may have the biggest kick in this match up
4-Petal To The Metal – Has been knocking on the door recently, lost by a nose two starts back, a solid third last week & draws inside again for a sharp barn in an evenly matched field
2-P L Notorious – Finished a strong third from post eighth chasing a pair of solid mares last week, took a mark of 1:53.4 here this season, moves inside & has a chance take charge
RACE 8
5-Cabowabocuttie – Flashed some late pace in her second try off a recent sick scratch, 0 for her last 27 is tough to take, but switches to Todd McCarthy & this could be an ideal trip scenario
1-Firefly – Beaten favorite was used pretty hard & settled for third last week, back on the rail for Team Burke & faces another wide-open bottom level field
6-Teal Hanover – Was a very aggressively handled runner up last week, been making progress since the late-January injury scratch & has a chance to crank it up another notch
RACE 9
6-Cashncam – Beaten favorite forced wide & rallied for third just behind Mighty American N last week, trending in the right direction & draws a bit better
4-Mighty American N – 0 for his last 20, but he was a much better runner up last week, expect more stalking speed with another inside draw
8-Stella’s Phella – 0 for his last 19, yet really stepped up his game with a solid second at 51-1 last week, draws a tougher post, but has a chance to follow up on that encouraging effort
RACE 10
5-So Irresistible – 1:52.3 winner in her 3YO debut with an eye-catching :26.4, fresh off a lively qualifier, this lightly-raced Always B Miki filly has talent & potential
3-Always B Dancing – Team Takter trainee by Always B Miki showed plenty in her qualifiers, tripped out to win her opener & draws well to take her next step forward
2-Wicked Ways – 0 for 12 Team Burke-tuned filly by Captaintreacherous flashed a :25.4 in her Big M qualifier, draws inside & looks ready to roll
RACE 11
9-Demeter N – Arrived here in prime form @ Yonkers, stayed glued to the cones & blocked in traffic here last week, draws a tougher post, but might revert to speed
6-Betalady – Tried controlling speed & outsprinted by an impressive Major Occasion A last week, can close like a rocket & remains on a serious form spree
10-Sweet Lucy Lou – Beaten favorite severely pace compromised & kicked home in :26.2 to hit the board last week, moves outside in better shape, yet will need some trip luck
RACE 12
2-Motor City Marco – Fresh claim angle to play here, has missed three weeks off a sick scratch, dips in price & draws inside, tough to gauge
6-Grandpa Don – Grandpa dropped to this claiming price & picked up minor spoils in an improved mile, re-acclimated now & owns a big late kick on his best day
7-Stirling Ensign – 0 for his last 18, yet that was a solid third two starts back, give him a chance off that effort if he can rebound off a miscue
RACE 13
3-She’s Nun Bettor N – Has been steadily knocking around the fringes against the top mares, off an impossible trip she drops a notch & lands post three again with Dexter Dunn
7-Stellenbosch – Beaten favorite had things her own way & got nailed by the pocket sitter April Ava last Saturday, more demanding post, but gets another shot at this reduced level
8-The Double Deuce – Lightly-raced Team Takter-tuned filly, freshened & won her qualifier with a :25.4, back half in :54.4, tough draw after missing time, but has talent & potential
