Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
SHINE A LIGHT (5) made it eight wins on the trot when he scored by 3 metres last time out here at this trip. Tackles a similar assignment and he can add to the impressive winning streak. SARANAC BLUE CHIP (4) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. GOTHIC ROCK (1) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. Something for the Multiples: HUGH HESTON (6)

Won three starts back at this track over 1609m 15000CLM on April 8. Last time out 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 m by Lou's Beach (1:55.30) in 20000CLM on May 2 at $11.53. Doesn't need to improve much to play a role in the finish.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Tonto Returns at this track over 1609m in a 20000CLM on April 22 at $8.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Shine A Light at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on May 2 at $20.49. One of the key runners.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 3 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:54.00) beating Saranac Blue Chip in 15000CLM on May 2 at $1.05. Two runs back won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:54.00) beating Cowboy Cargo in 15000CLM on April 22 at $1.05. Definite winning chance.
