RACE 1
2-Namje – Lived up to strong tote action & rallied to a convincing score & took a new mark in a sparkling Big M debut, rewarded with an improved post & stands out
9-Dew Can Dew – Beaten favorite set a comfortable pace & settled for second to Namje last week, nice mile track transition, but tougher post, plus two for 41 record
10-Martz Stick – 4YO with some upside has come around in his last two, like the way he stepped out alertly from post nine last week & needs a similar effort
RACE 2
3-Esa – Stormed home in :27.3 to finish second to Mission Hill first time Lasix two starts back, pace & trip compromised last out, draws well to get within closer striking range
6-Mission Hill – Lightly-raced 4YO was on a nice roll before his latest miscue as the heavy favorite, former $335,000 yearling finds an ideal spot to rebound
1-Galixton – Added trotting hopples & just missed two starts back, then broke in a paceless race last week, smooth sailing from the rail reunited with Dexter Dunn
RACE 3
3-Crazshana – Forced wide from an impossible spot in his first start since late November, former 1:51.3 winner here now draws much better for his second try off the bench
7-Bizet – Rebounded off a miscue with a solid rally for third in his second start back here, draws a tougher post, but drops another notch with some back class in his arsenal
1-Tyson – This Tyson has been plagued with excuses while tackling tougher @ Dover Downs, lands the rail in a rock bottom condition & picks up Gingras
RACE 4
7-Thunder Dome – Pegged him last week & he just missed with a strong finish @ 5-1, 4YO trending in the right direction lands in a similar spot

RACE 5
8-Sapphire City – Shows a solid second against similar two starts back @ The Meadows, draws a demanding post, but this classy millionaire joins a new barn & picks up The Bionic Man
9-Western Redhot – Simply steamrolled first over & polished off a lifetime best with a :27.2 last Saturday, faces a tougher post against a competitive group of claimers, yet might be up to it
5-Cadillac Phil – Romped wire-to-wire with Andrew McCarthy back on 12-12 for $7,500, returns to the mile track with plenty of back class for a prolific barn
RACE 6
5-Ronnie Goldstein – Kicked off his year with a pair of solid runner up finishes, forced wide & pace compromised from post eight last time, lightly-raced 5YO might be on the verge
9-All American N – Lived up to favoritism with a winning rally in his US debut on Lasix, lightly-raced Muscle Hill gelding builds on that from the same outside post for Team Toscano
4-Deplorable Tom – 4YO won back-to-back & lowered his mark to 1:54.1 before a deplorable result last out, has had three weeks to regroup & draws better for Andrew Harris
RACE 7
4-Exotic Dance – Banged this one @ 5-1 in her second start for Team Bongiorno, poised to step up off that career best from a better post & has the look of a repeater
1-I Will Do It – Rallied to make it two for her last three since switching to Nifty Norman, lands the rail fresh off the mile of her life & has a big chance to keep it going
2-Manhattan Play – Finished an even fourth with an ideal second over trip last week, draws better with Tetrick to be in line for another serious shot at the speed
RACE 8
6-Shewearsthepants – Sports a 1:51.3 mark here last year, fresh off a strong third she can vault off that effort with the right trip & pace set up
1-Jewel Lehigh A – Wired similar @ Yonkers two starts back, then got parked against tougher there, back on the mile track with the rail for the double Andrews
5-Gloria Pierre – Rocky steady & productive mare has clearly been better in her last two, got parked & chased a dominant winner last week
RACE 9
3-Zlatan – Took a 1:52.3 mark here last season, gets some much-needed class & post relief & lands in an ideal spot to trip out for an overdue win
6-Marion Gondolier – Failed to pass a horse from post ten last week, drops back down to the level of a narrow loss two starts back, expect a more aggressive effort
1-Smokee Mirrors – Take note of the narrow loss from post ten back on 12-20, returns to the mile track for his second start off a sick scratch & switches to Andrew McCarthy
RACE 10
6-Dayson – Team Burke stalwart & 10-time winner in 2019 just missed with a well-rated effort as the heavy favorite, crushed these from post eight on 1-3, chance to dominate
4-Max – Followed the classy JL Cruze & faded to fourth last time, gets further class relief & draws inside again to give Team Burke a solid 1-2 punch in this affair

4-Winning American – Flashed sudden speed from post seven in his third start off the bench, now drops & draws better, needs some of that Andrew Harris magic with trotters
RACE 12
2-Princess Holly N – Gotta go back to her solid second against these on 12-26, makes her second start off a sick scratch from a much better post for the Blueberry Bomber
3-Summer Rock – Logical contender draws inside again fresh off a nose loss as the heavy favorite, kicked off her season with a new mark from the same post in 1:53.4
6-Sweet Sue – Lasix has kicked in with improved performances in her last two for Team Burke, beaten favorite rated nicely & couldn’t hold on again last week, just two for 33
RACE 13
9-Duluth – Beaten favorite parked first over & still hit the board in his last two, 11YO draws a tougher post, but has cranked up his game with Dexter Dunn
7-Bellamente – Interesting shipper arrives off an even fourth @ Yonkers for her new barn, fresh threat lands in a real soft bottom condition & might be worth a swing
