Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
SIR PINOCCHIO (5) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just a neck from the winner. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. ASTEROID (4) showed plenty of fight to salute last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just a neck. Big chance in a similar assignment. UP YOUR DEO (6) is hard to overlook after scoring first-up last start by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m. SOUTHWIND COORS (7) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Antognoni at Philadelphia over 1609m in a M LEE INV-G3 on May 24 at $7.30. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Asteroid at this track over 1609m in a INVITATION on June 4 at $1.45. Nice effort last time. Leading contender.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m third behind Asteroid at this track over 1609m INVITATION last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres third again at this track same class on May 21. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
