Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9

BACKSTREET PLAYER (1) turned in a much better run at his latest appearance, finishing fourth over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. SAINTS PRESERVE US (4) had to dig deep to salute last time out over 1609m at Philadelphia, getting home by just 0.9 metres. Stepping up a level this time but she is good enough to take this out. HOOLIE N HECTOR (3) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. DIAMANTE TRIO (6) is worth some thought despite her last-start seventh over 1609m at this track on April 24.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Escaper at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L5 on April 24 at $18.58. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Bruha at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW2500L5 on May 1 at $4. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at Tioga Downs beaten 1.5 m by Louminator (1:58.00) in NW3001-4 on May 9 at $6.02. Before that beaten 19 metres, seventh at this track over 1609m NW10926L5 on May 1. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten.
