Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2

SOHO DOW JONES (1) was in the money two runs ago then was about the mark again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 1.5 metres from the winner in third. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender based on those recent outings. LAYTON HANOVER (3) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 6 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. SHAZAM BLUE CHIP (2) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back. OPTICAL ILLUSION (4) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
