Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
AARDIES FLASH N (2) has been racing very well and deserved his victory last start, scoring by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. CURLY JAMES A (3) is the next elect off a last-start win by 5 metres at this track over 1609m. IMA PERFECT CHOICE (6) must be respected after scoring last start by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Matai Phil at this track over 1609m in a NW15351L5 on February 9 at $56.35. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Aardies Flash at this track over 1609m in a NW15251L5 on February 16 at $6.27. Can build on that fine effort last start.
