Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
HEZA CHARTTOPPER A (3) was successful last time out by 6 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to make it two on the trot. RAILROAD STATION (4) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. VERDUN (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 6 metres at this track over 1609m. JABBAR (1) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on May 18.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m second behind Iknowbetter at this track over 1609m 60/75CLHC last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres third again at this track in NW21281L5 on May 11. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Verdun (1:51.20) in NW16376L5 on May 19 at $5.22. Two runs back won by 3 m (Fr3) at this track (1:51.30) beating Forward Flash in HGW5BNM7 on May 12 at $5.20. Plenty to like about his prospects.
