Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
LYRICAL GENIUS A (2) had to call on all reserves to salute last start over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.9 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. OURMATEMENKO N (1) has been racing well of late. Finished fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. OVERTHINKING (5) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track a week ago. HAMMERING HANK (7) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following April 27 run. Last start posted a big 8 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.00) beating Gds Thunder in NW7651L5 on May 4 at $1.94. This race will be harder than that win. Needs something easier.
