Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
SOHO FIRESTONE A (1) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after showing some very good form last campaign, the last run being a fifth over 2012m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Well-placed to take this out. CELTIC SPIRIT N (4) had been racing in great heart then kept the ball rolling last start when he scored by 11 metres over 1609m at Northfield Park. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. ALWAYS A THRILL (3) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fifth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. SHERLOCK N (2) must be respected after scoring last start by 4 metres at this track over 1609m.

Returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into fifth behind Coaches Corner at this track over 2012m in a MGM GP F on December 19 at $16.61. Strong winning hope.

Hard to fault of late. Last start by 11 m as favourite (Fr5) at Northfield Park (1:51.10) beating The Real Way in OPEN HCP on March 15 at $1.80. No reason he cannot get the job done again.
