Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
HEMSWORTH N (3) finished third at this track two runs ago before a less impressive effort at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player. CHASE H HANOVER (2) finished third last start over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 5 metres. Best recent result was a win at Pocono Downs three starts ago. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he good enough to play a major role. PAPI'S ROCKET (8) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at Pocono Downs last time out. VENGEANCE BLUECHIP (1) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at Tioga Downs last time out.

Improved last start with a good run when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at Tioga Downs beaten 5 m by Saulsbrook Victor (1:51.20) in OPENII on July 5 at $2.79. Sure to be about the mark again.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing seventh behind Lou Hill at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m on May 29 at $22.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind American Fling at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a NW12500L5 on July 4 at $1.60. Big run expected.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts. Placed last start 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at Tioga Downs beaten 1.5 m by Saulsbrook Victor (1:51.20) in OPENII on July 5 at $10.25. Before that 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at Tioga Downs, beaten 6 m by Flag Party (1:50.00) in OPEN on June 21 at $9.06. Can't recommend.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following June 25 run. Last start won by 6 m as favourite (Fr5) at Tioga Downs (1:51.40) beating Joy In Mudville in NW8001-4 on July 5 at $1.36. This race will be harder than that win. Happy enough to avoid.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Prince Hal Hanover at Meadowlands over 1609m in a GRADUATE on June 20 at $94.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind No Tresspassing at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a W5-8PM CG on July 4 at $2.20. Plenty to like about his prospects.
