Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
DRAMAS A (4) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take care of this line-up. SWEET JOEL (3) was without a win before displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 4.5 metres over 1609m at this track a week ago. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. MAGIC JOURNEY (7) scored by 0.6 metres over 1609m at Buffalo Raceway last start at the second run back from a spell. Plenty of room for improvement so another win would not surprise. MATANZAS CREEK (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs.

Well beaten last start by Sweet Joel, who he meets again; when 50 metres seventh at this track over 1609m in a CHGNW2PM race on June 9. Can't have on that basis.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Alabama Lucky at this track over 1609m in a CHGNW3PM on June 2 at $3.85. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Sweet Joel at this track over 1609m in a CHGNW2PM on June 9 at $3.40. Strong winning hope.
