Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
BET ON BIG JOE (3) is racing well with 10 top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at this track over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish again. JOEMIKIYOURSOFINE (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. VICI (7) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing fourth behind The Ideal Dancer at this track over 1609m in a NW20986L5 on January 27 at $3.15. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Always A Thrill at this track over 1609m in a 3-6 YO OPN on February 3 at $32.63. Capable of a strong showing.

Second-up here following a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Blue Lou (1:54.00) in NW20000L5 on February 9 at $17.88. Will improve with that run under the belt. In the mix.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Always A Thrill (1:54.20) in NW31001L5 on January 19 at $31.09. Before that 7th (Fr5) over 2012m at this track, beaten 16 m by Captain Moore (2:26.30) in MGM GP C on December 19 at $8.40. Hard to make a case on recent form.

Resumes. His previous first-up run was successful when he won by 16 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:56.20) beating Bookem Danno in HGNW2BN4PM on April 8 at $1.35. Might be better for this run.
