Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
TAIPAN AS (5) is racing well with eight top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. HALFADOZEN (2) is right in the mix after finishing runner-up for the second time in a row last start, beaten 4 metres at this track. Ideally placed to go one better. STARFISH (1) must be respected after scoring last start by 11 metres at Saratoga over 1609m.

Has won at her last two outings. Last start posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr5) at Saratoga (1:57.20) beating Backswing in NW2PMCD on June 30 at $2.51. Hard to leave out on current form. Sure to give backers a sight.

Solid performance when a close second behind Bizzy Brenda at this track over 1609m in a W5BNMT7 on June 17 at $43.22. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Seven Layer at this track over 1609m in a W5BNMT7 on June 24 at $2.54. Has the right credentials to take this out.
