Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
MAC'S DELIGHT (3) scored last time out by 2.25 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to cope. MOMENT IS HERE (5) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved his success last start, scoring by 10 metres over 1609m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but he is good enough to take this out. MATAI PHIL N (2) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. LASER SPEED (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by American Dealer (1:52.10) in NW20000L5 on June 30 at $29.75. Two runs back 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Jumpingjackmac (1:52.30) in NW20000L5 on June 22 at $22.59. Unlikely to make an impression.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Flag Party at Tioga Downs over 1609m in a OPEN on June 14 at $1.92. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind American Dealer at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on June 30 at $3.61. Hard to fault on current form.

Racing consistently. Last start won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:51.20) beating Jabbar in NW15000L5 on June 30 at $2.50. No reason he cannot get the job done again.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Banderas (1:53.00) in NW23671L5 on June 30 at $16.19. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.00) beating Th Colby in NW15000L5 on June 23 at $1.97. Will give a good account.
