Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
POP IT (2) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 17 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Must raise the bar but from a far better starting position he has the ability to test this field. JM'S DELIGHT (7) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Monticello Raceway, beaten 4.5 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. C BET HANOVER (5) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. GINGRAS BEACH (1) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Rusty Beach at Monticello Raceway over 1609m in a OPEN on March 24 at $15.01. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Villiam at Monticello Raceway over 1609m in a OPEN on March 31 at $4.18. Nicely placed to take this out.

Comes here second-up after a week-and-a-half. Lacklustre first-up performance when 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 40 m by Boom (1:51.00) in NW9500L5 on March 28 at $25.80. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
