MEET STATS: 230 - 887 / $1,510.80 (-$263.20) BEST BETS: 38 - 86 / $170.20 (-$1.80) SPOT PLAYS: 15 - 87 / $195.60 (+$21.60) BEST BET - HEAVEN ON HIGH N (11th) SPOT PLAY - BAR KEEP DE VIE (5th) Race 1 - 15000CLM Pace (6) FULLBACK tallied in this class at Yonkers on 11-8 and returns off another winning effort most recently at Harrah's Philadelphia. (3) TOATSMYGOATS held sway on the front-end to score a week ago in a $15,000 claiming test, giving him back-to-back victories. He's been sharp for a while. (2) HEEZ OURPERSEUS N faded after a first-over trip in the race won by TOATSMYGOATS last Wednesday but had a pair of triumphs at Plainridge prior to that and goes for new connections off a claim. [DRF HARNESS: Get Harness Eye PPs for this card] Race 2 - F&M NW4/50000LT Pace (4) JAVA steps up from the NW2 class but has been racing well and finally gets out of post seven this time. She's consistently been showing speed, so I expect her on or near the lead again. (5) DEVILISH DREAMS rebounded from breaking on 11-29 with a victory last Wednesday and has been in good form overall. (1) YS SENSATIONAL CITY rallied to finish third despite getting interfered with on November 29 and moves in from post eight to the pole position. [DRF BETS: Wager on tonight's Yonkers card at DRF Bets.com!] Race 3 - NW7500L5/Winners in the Last Start of the Base Class NW5000L5 Pace (5) CHURCHVIEWFRANKL IR drops and gets post relief off his last two appearances at Harrah's Philadelphia and the Meadowlands. He defeated NW7 company at Yonkers back in late September. (4) SPEED MAN N went a long way on the lead before finishing second on 11-21. He continues to work down the ladder tonight and slides in a couple notches on the gate. (2) BARON MICHAEL closed out his last mile at Freehold with a good kick from the eight-hole and drew well tonight. Race 4 - 20000CLM Pace (5) GOLDEN GESTURE takes a second shot at this class here. He has just one good effort since coming into Per Engblom's barn, but he's capable of turning one around at any point, and new driver Mark MacDonald will probably want to make a good impression on the connections. (8) ITALIAN DELIGHT N has four wins and a second in his last five starts and lured Jason Bartlett off the Engblom trainee, which is rare and a positive sign for this horse. (4) SOUTHWIND ONYX had no problem moving up from the $15,000 claimers to the $20,000 claimers as he was second to ITALIAN DELIGHT N on November 29. Race 5 - NW4/50000LT Trot (2) BAR KEEP DE VIE returns from Harrah's Philadelphia here. He defeated NW3 company at that oval on 11-16, adding to his success at Yonkers back on October 11, and he meets up with a wide-open crew in this tilt. (5) CRAZYLAND also defeated NW3 foes at Harrah's Philadelphia in his last appearances and has been racking up a series of good efforts for the Engblom barn. (3) SHOPPING IN PARIS has hit the board in three of her four tries in this class since the qualifier on the 17th of October and moves inside on the gate. Race 6 - F&M NW2/25000LT / F&M NW1/12500LT Drawn Inside Pace (6) C DIDDY'S GAL makes her second start out of the Jenn Bongiorno barn tonight and finished her mile off with some interest a week ago. (4) MINT CONDITION has won both of her tries for Engblom since coming north from Harrah's Philadelphia and is the one they'll have to beat again tonight. (5) KALYPSO shows just one finish outside the top three in her last five trips behind the gate and was second to MINTO CONDITION in a NW1 event on November 29. Race 7 - NW2/30250LT Trot (2) STRATEGIC is obviously a risky selection given how often he breaks, but when he stayed flat on October 18 he romped over NW2 foes. Hopefully he minds his p's and q's tonight. (6) HL FAITHY miscued last time at Harrah's Philadelphia but had hit the board in her other tries since joining Engblom's stable prior to that, and I will look for her to rebound. (3) NEWTOWNS BLACKGOLD beat NW2 company on 11-8 and has been racing well for an extended period of time overall. Race 8 - 3-5YO Open Pace (7) SIMON SAYS HANOVER starts from the outside but has been facing straight Open company here and at Harrah's Philadelphia in his last four starts and had three straight victories in this age-restricted class prior to that. (5) GREG THE LEG has been in the top two in all of his appearances dating back to 10-25 and was game on the front-end in victory a week ago. (3) ALL CLASS is a 3-year-old taking on older foes but has been very good down at Harrah's Philadelphia, and I'll toss him in. Race 9 - F&M NW6/75000LT Pace (5) AVF CLAIRE has gained spots and ground in the final quarters of both of her tries at Yonkers for trainer Tony Alagna and has an improved post to work with here, hopefully resulting in a trip closer to the action. (2) TWIN B ALLURE owns three wins and a second since joining Jenn Bongiorno's barn in November and was victorious in this class a week ago. (6) FAVORITE BEACH makes her second start back after a layoff tonight and was a closing second to TWIN B ALLURE last Wednesday. [DRF HARNESS: Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter] Race 10 - NW6/85674LT Trot (7) DIAMANTE TRIO IT squeezed into this tilt by a dollar under the lifetime earnings cap. Although she drew outside, she's been racing very well in this class, and trainer Travis Alexander is sending out plenty of live horses overall right now. (4) ALLSUMMERLONG AS has two wins in her last three tries at Harrah's Philadelphia and has prior experience racing at Yonkers as well. (3) INN AT RODANTHE didn't get involved in his last try from a poor draw but was sharp for Engblom prior to that and gets reunited with Bartlett tonight. Race 11 - NW10000L5/Winners in the Last Start of the Base Class NW7500L5 Pace (4) HEAVEN ON HIGH N looks like a possible standout in this race as he drops off a third-place result in a NW15000L5 base class tilt most recently and won at this level back on October 17. (1) SOUTHBEACH HANOVER set up shop on the front-end and romped in a NW7500L5 race last week. He steps up tonight but should have picked up some confidence and drew well again. (7) THE REAL ONE drew poorly again but shows a couple of on-the-board results in NW20000L5 races lately and just needs some pace to chase.
