Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
CHAPTER OF LIFE (6) has been racing very well and registered another success last start, scoring by 8 metres over 1609m at Saratoga. Must raise the bar but another win is on the cards. FLEX UP (4) finished third last start over 1609m at Buffalo Raceway, beaten 6 metres, after a good win at Tioga Downs the run prior. Primary contender if anywhere near his best. CTM (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 8 metres at Vernon Downs over 1609m. VINYL DADDY (3) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Can bounce back.

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at Buffalo Raceway beaten 55 m by Rubens (1:57.30) in NY EXCEL on June 24 at $19.48. Two runs back 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Tioga Downs beaten 30 m by Mob Rat (1:58.20) in NW1PMLTCD on June 13 at $1.14. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten.

Going well. Last start won by 8 m as favourite (Fr3) at Saratoga (1:56.10) beating Starfish in NW2PMCD on July 13 at $1.89. No surprise if he made it two on the trot.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 5 m win (Fr1) at Buffalo Raceway (1:57.30) beating Chapter Of Life in NY EXCEL on June 24 at $5.77. Two runs back 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at Tioga Downs beaten 35 m by Flex Up (1:55.30) in NY EXCEL on June 5 at $6.67. Better off avoiding.
