Yonkers Raceway Race 1 - Race 1
LYRICAL GENIUS A (3) recorded yet another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance based on those recent efforts. ROCKIN JUKEBOX (1) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. MANFERNO (2) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on July 13. Something for the Multiples: AMERITRIC (4)

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 11 m by Bettor By Seaside (1:52.30) in 40000CLM on July 13 at $15.46. The run previous 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Himself (1:52.20) in 40000CLM on June 29 at $4.27. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Bettor By Seaside at this track over 1609m in a 40000CLM on June 22 at $5.67. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Bettor By Seaside at this track over 1609m in a 40000CLM on July 13 at $4.30. Should be right in the finish.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at Ocean Downs, beaten 10 m by The Lizard (1:52.40) in WO5000L4 on July 12 at $5.80. Two runs back won by 7 m as favourite (Fr4) at Ocean Downs (1:54.10) beating Walkinbytheseaside in WO5000L4 on July 5 at $1.50. Decent effort last start. In the mix again.
