Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
CHANT (4) ran seventh last start at Tioga Downs over 1609m, beaten 21 metres. This should be an easier assignment so she is sure to prove tough to beat. AJAX BLUE CHIP (1) had been racing in great heart then was again in fine form last start when he finished third over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. GOYA (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 1609m when fresh from a spell. VERY BUSY (8) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good third over 1609m at Philadelphia two runs back.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Goya at this track over 1609m in a W2BNMT4 on June 6 at $2.64. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Wish List at this track over 1609m in a W2BNMT5 on June 10 at $4.95. Strong winning prospects.

Has struggled of late. Last start 7th (Fr1) over 1609m at Tioga Downs, beaten 21 m by R Ro (1:53.30) in NYSS-F on June 5 at $66.75. At the previous start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at Vernon Downs, beaten 16 m by Nezuko Kamado S (1:54.30) in NYSS-F on May 25 at $53.50. Watch for a far better effort this time.
