Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
THE RASCAL N (5) ran second last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 13 metres. Good enough to be right in the finish. SPECTACULAR LEO (3) has been hard to fault of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at Monticello Raceway, getting home by 4 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Steps up a level but he is capable of running another bold race. CALLMEBIGPAPI (2) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at Pocono Downs last time out. ENTER SANDMAN (4) got home by 3 metres over 1609m at Philadelphia last start at his first race start. Strips fitter and can go on with the job.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing eighth behind Axial at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 5yo on June 27 at $7.15. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Darknstormy Deo at this track over 1609m in a CHGNW2PM on July 14 at $1.34. Strong winning hope.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Killer Bee Deo at this track over 1609m CHGNW2PM last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres second again at this track same class on June 16. Racing well and not without merit.
