Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
BEAT BOBBY BAYOU (2) turned in a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on May 31. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Won't find this any harder and he can salute once again. GILLYS DE VIE (8) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. WALKWHILEYOURTALKN (4) could only finish eighth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Hippie Shake at this track over 1609m in a W2BNMT4 on May 17 at $36. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Beat Bobby Bayou at this track over 1609m in a W2BNMT4 on May 31 at $15.60. Rates highly.
