# 2 DIGAM 2/1
# 5 FOUR STARZ ALEX 7/2
# 8 STRONSKI 20/1
After thorough analysis by the brain trust, DIGAM comes out as the top pick. Could very well provide us a victory based on very nice recent speed ratings - earning an avg of 75. This nice horse has shown us some prior ability, just look at the 75 average class stat. Should play well here. Strong driver-trainer figures make this contender a bang-up choice. Very likely will be putting cash down in this one. FOUR STARZ ALEX - Chances are greatly enhanced for standardbreds coming from the 5 position at Pompano Park. Could best this group, just look at the speed rating - 72 - from his last race. STRONSKI - Sometimes you just have to go with a vibe, back this one's chances.

# 5 ALVAREZ 8/5
# 4 SHADY MCCOY 4/1
# 2 PRIDECREST 6/1
ALVAREZ is the clear stand out wager in the eyes of the consortium. Getting a good idea about this mare. Could surprise for this one. That 88 speed fig clocked in the most recent contest puts this entrant in the mix for this race. Talk about a dynamic duo, Dobson and Krist have some of the best driver-conditioner figures at the track. SHADY MCCOY - The 4 position sports a much better than average win figure at Yonkers Raceway. Should compete very well in this contest as his style of running fits well in this field of horses. PRIDECREST - Could be the best in the pack here, showing good figures of late. Average speed is a solid 88. Could best this race, just look at the speed rating - 86 - from his last contest.

# 9 QUEENS TIARA 6/1
# 4 MISSCHARLYPOTATOES 8/1
# 8 MYHEARTSINTHECITY 8/1
QUEENS TIARA looks to be a respectable contender. This equine is prominent in this field in earnings per start at the distance/surface. Is a very solid contender based on numbers recorded recently under today's conditions. This filly with Eikleberry in the irons makes her a solid choice. MISSCHARLYPOTATOES - If you examine closely, this one has some longshot possibilities. This bunch is much softer than the last one she was up against. MYHEARTSINTHECITY - The average Equibase class rating alone makes this one a solid choice. Ought to be given consideration - I like the numbers from the last contest.

ROYAL PATRIOT has a strong shot to take this race especially at a long price. May best this group here, showing decent figs of late. When a trainer brings any animal back this quickly it is a positive signal. Baze has this gelding travelling well and is a very good pick based on the decent speed figures posted in route races as of late. CECIL THE CAT - Will likely be one of the early speedsters of the group going into the midpoint of the contest. With a respectable 69 Equibase speed fig last time out, will unquestionably be a factor in this competition.

Parx Racing - Race #6 - Post: 2:40pm - Maiden Special - 8.3 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $50,000 Class Rating: 85
Rating:
#2 OPPORTUNITY COST (ML=3/1)
#3 J. J.'S CANDY (ML=9/2)
#6 ASPHALT PAVING (ML=10/1)
OPPORTUNITY COST - This colt should give a good showing of himself in today's race. J. J.'S CANDY - On board this horse on January 10th and Cedeno is back again in the irons today. A thoroughbred coming back this promptly after a strong outing is a good sign. ASPHALT PAVING - Gryder and Levine teamed up together are a railbird's friend. Levine has an 'uncoupled' entry here. Best to beware of the longer priced half. Faced tougher last out at Aqueduct. Based on class figures, this is a weaker field, so I will put this horse on my list of probable winners in this race. Is ranked number one in earnings per race. A powerful effort in this race can increase the lifetime bankroll. Has a pretty good chance to break maiden going to the dirt right here in this race. Sub-par effort last race out at Aqueduct was due to the off-going (he ended up sixth). Have to do better in today's race on a fast track.
Vulnerable Contenders: #7 BASELINE (ML=7/2), #1 EMOTICON (ML=6/1),
BASELINE - Don't think this mount will make an impact in today's event. That last rating was mediocre when compared with today's class rating. EMOTICON - The speed rating in the last race doesn't fit very well in this race when I look at the class figure of today's event. Mark this entrant as a possibly overvalued contestant.

Rating:
#5 NEW YORK GEM (ML=8/1)
#4 PRINCESS EMBER (ML=7/2)
NEW YORK GEM - Barbaran was aboard this mare in the last race and was impressed enough to take the animal right back. This mare is in good condition. Finished third on January 21st. PRINCESS EMBER - Ran in the last race against a much better field at Turfway Park. The move to a lower level should suit her well.
Vulnerable Contenders: #2 MISS SAMMY (ML=8/5), #6 MANY FACES (ML=9/2), #3 AROMA BLUE (ML=6/1),
MISS SAMMY - This morning-line favorite ran on January 4th and hasn't had a drill since then. MANY FACES - That was merely not a very good display in the last clash. I can't play this frequent non-winner. Gets the assignment fulfilled infrequently. The speed fig in the last race doesn't fit very well in this affair when I look at the class figure of today's race. Mark this thoroughbred as a likely underpriced equine. AROMA BLUE - Showed very little in the last event. Really no reason to expect any change today. Hard to put your dough on the win end of any thoroughbred that finishes second and third as frequently as this entrant does. Mediocre speed figure last time around the track at Mahoning Valley Race Cour at 6 furlongs. Don't think this vulnerable equine will improve too much in today's race.

Yonkers: Tuesday 1/31 Analysis

MEET STATS: 18 - 81 / 169.40
BEST BETS: 4 - 8 / $14.60
Best Bet: DEWDLE ALL DAY (7th)
Spot Play: VIRGIL CAINE (2nd)
Race 1
(3) SIR ZIGGYS Z TAM Gelding is sharp based on his last two tries and figures to return to his winning ways. (1) V I P BAYAMA took the pocket route on his way home to victory last out at Freehold; threat for the repeat. (2) CLASSIC AMERICAN N gets post relief and that should help his cause; we shall see.
Race 2
(4) VIRGIL CAINE comes by way of the Meadowlands and seems to be coming around; at his best he can top these. (5) DON LINDY showed good speed but could not hold off the top two in his latest; dangerous. (1) IM LOOKING AT YOU just missed the score by 1/2 length; not out of this from the rail.
Race 3
(1) BEST TURBO was sent down the road in her latest for all the glory. Retains the fence and catches a weak group tonight; repeats. (5) MAJESTIC MISTRESS was very wide and broke turning for home last out; could atone. (7) CAROLINKIA Hopefully the three qualifiers in a row could have her cranked her up for this; maybe.
Race 4
(7) MASS BALANCE was uncovered the entire mile and folded last time out but the good news is he faces a weak group. So with a favorable trip he can get the job done. (6) MAJOR MATTER was caught very wide at the 3/4 pole and saved the place recently; big threat. (5) BEND IN THE RIVER is knocking at the door based on his last two trips to the post; watch out.
Race 5
(4) THE EMPIRESSISTER N Mare showed signs of life last out and she could be ready to fire her best against these. (3) GO FOR SAND Jersey invader might appreciate the half-mile oval and she does have tactical speed. (2) ELM GROVE INARUSH gets serious post relief; not out of this.
Race 6
(2) METATRON came down the center of the track and mowed them down for all the glory in his recent outing and the trotter can repeat despite the rise in class. (3) ONTHEROAD DE VIE Three straight in the trifecta puts this mare right in the mix with these. (1) INUKCHUK CHUCK raced evenly in his last try and should improve from the fence.
Race 7
(3) DEWDLE ALL DAY got the job done wire to window in her last start and this trotting mare seems to be in winning form to make it two straight. (7) DYNAMIC EDGE is another that scored down the road last week; post hurts tonight but he is capable. (6) PERFECT ROAD seems to love being in the exacta picture so he must be considered in all the exotic slots.
Race 8
(1) JUST BETTOR Sharp qualifier last out here and now this California invader will try to get back on the winning groove riding the rail. (3) IM A GIFT was on the lead most of the way but was nailed for win honors in his Florida finale; big threat. (4) MIGHTY PERUVIAN N moves down in class and this pacer has every right to be right in the thick of it.
Race 9
(4) SHADY MCCOY lost all chance when this trotter broke at the start but the good news is the gelding has done quite well so far this year so he has every right to atone off his last clunker. (5) ALVAREZ has wheeled off two straight victories and the hat trick is clearly not out of the question. (7) ARRAKIS is knocking at the door based on his last two trips to the post.
Race 10
(6) TWIN B SPEEDO Gelding is sharp enough to get the job done over these if given a favorable trip. (2) MYSHARONA BLUECHIP should be much better from the 2-hole and Kakaley keeps the faith. (4) RANSOM DEMAND takes a slight drop in class and Bartlett is back at the controls; beware.
