Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
RUSTY BEACH (4) was out of the money two back at this track. Turned in a better run last time out when second over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. THE MIKI TAKER A (1) was in the money at Pocono Downs two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 21 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Steps up a level but he is good enough to turn things around. CARABAO A (8) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track seven weeks ago. PYRO (2) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following June 22 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a head as favourite at Grand River Raceway (1:52.30) beating Pipewrench Charlie in G on June 29 at $2.60 at the bell was leading. This race will be harder than that win. Others preferred.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 m by American Dealer (1:53.20) in NW10000L5 on June 1 at $67.91. The start before 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 18 m by Yorokobi (1:55.10) in NW7791L5 on May 25 at $8.38. Watch for a far better effort this time.
