Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
SARANAC BLUE CHIP (3) was in the money two runs ago then went well again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 16 metres from the winner in third. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. GOTHIC ROCK (5) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week ago. ALADDIN (4) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Something for the Multiples: WHY TOMORROW RAY (7)
