Selections for Monday April 6. Considering the challenges in finding playable races at Northfield on Mondays, I'm looking east tonight. Please consider that Yonkers is not my primary track, but being a half miler it's logical that the handicapping algorithms will be similar.
Race 1
#4 Sly Grin N - just missed in this class the last time he had a post
#5 Mr Romantic - always respect claimers moving up, nice move last week
#8 Swingingwithashark - probably the best horse in the race, post is a killer
#6 Absolom - don't think he's a true claimer, but he's sharp
Race 2
#4 Striking Marine - sharpening up, nice move last week
#5 Thasos - followed top choice in last week, could happen again
#2 Golden Genes Hall - gets the improved post, always include the four year olds
#8 Corregidore - tough post, still better than the rest
Race 3
#5 Ideal Vintage - claimer dropping into a cheap condition
#4 Four Trumps A - first time lasix, super qualifier
#2 Danger Sign - moves back inside for the class drop
#3 Gimmebackmybullets - sharp and moving up
Race 4
#3 Mr Soggy - loves to win, loves the front end, have to like the driver change
#4 Pacific Desperado - speaking of driver changes, have to like the Cat with this one
#1 Taylorlane Cruiser - keeping with the theme, Gris back in the bike
#7 Hawaiian Rowdy - tough to leave this driver/trainer combo out
Race 5
#5 Talk Forever - top 20 claimer gets the improved post
#1 Adams Mate A - should improve off the claim, nice early speed
#3 Linwood Native - perhaps a step above his best class, place money from this post three back
#8 Not Demott - more consideration with a better draw
Race 6
#1 D M Sundance - first out last week, grabs the rail tonight
#3 Tevenay Hall - won like a favorite should last week, can't count on the same trip
#5 Surrounded - off the claim, was found wanting last time he tried this level
#2 Toni's Party - beaten favorite gets the good draw again
Race 7
#3 Artists Rally - monster three year old should keep rolling
#1 Allamerican Major - sharp with the rail, should grab place money
#5 The Steelman - moving up, loves to win, look at last year's mark
#7 Palmer's Z Tam - second time lasix, coming off a nice win, post an issue
Race 8
#1 Standing Sharp BJ - easily last week, third start back, moved up to his normal level
#5 Twin B Krave - beaten favorite did all the work last week
#4 Cheyenne Ryan - got up nicely last week, not sure he can make the jump
#3 Cameloft - lack of early speed his problem, will come on late
Race 9
#4 Poker Hat - shouldn't be a problem with the class drop
#2 Glass Pack - looks like he fits the class, unfamiliar with his driver
#7 Jjthejethorse - claimer in a "cheap" condition, form a ? and the post no help
#1 Carlo Hall - knows how to protect the rail, big asset in this race
Race 10
#3 Classic Line N - scampered away last time, should be good for two in a row
#2 Prestissimo - the move inside will help his cause
#5 Object Of Art - did a lot of work last week, horse loves to win
#1 Getting Real - sharp and has the rail, not sure he fits with the top choices
Race 11
#4 Iwannabesedated - should be favored with the post shift
#2 A Place Out West - just missed first out last week
#1 Osprey Ridge - good early speed will serve him well
#6 Non Commital A - had recent success at this level, form an issue
Race 12
#2 Western Outfitter - the only early speed in this one, cha ching
#5 Royal Man - major class drop
#6 Forest Vic A - back from M1, looking for a check
#1 Bobsujak - impressed us at Nfld, some recent troubled lines
Race 13
#5 Alloveramerica - cut the mile last week
#1 Armbro Barnes - moves way inside, had a lot of pace last week
#3 Last Orders - rough trip last week, doesn't show any lines at this level, we'll see
#6 Durango Kid N - no problem with the 20's, more consideration with a better post
Good Luck
