Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
KOPI LUWAK (5) has had three runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 25 metres away from the winner in seventh. Good enough to take out a race like this. SHAKESPEARE (1) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 45 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of a much better performance. BET ON MAC (6) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at Meadowlands a week-and-a-half ago. KOMODO BEACH (2) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at Meadowlands over 1609m.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 30 m by Overthinking (1:52.20) in NW7500L4 on December 28 at $40.80. Before that 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 24 m by Boxer Seelster (1:56.10) in HGW2BN4PM on December 16 at $24.53. Others make more appeal.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by Western Era (1:56.30) in NW12386L5 on January 28 at $22.39. At the previous start 9th (Fr8) over 1609m at Meadowlands beaten 30 m by Soho Spectre (1:51.30) in NW12500L5 on January 10 at $68.40. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 8th (Fr10) over 1609m at Meadowlands beaten 24 m by Caviart Lotus (1:52.00) on January 24 at $62.50. The run prior 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at Meadowlands beaten 12 m by Da Delightful (1:50.00) on January 17 at $97.10. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 11 m by Western Era (1:56.30) in NW12386L5 on January 28 at $5.98. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 12 m win (Fr5) at Monticello Raceway (1:55.30) beating Buy In in OPEN on January 20 at $3.95. Genuine contender.
