Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
HIGHLANDSTARBURST (2) has been most impressive of late and she made it two in a row when successful at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 4 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Primary contender based on recent form. COMMODUS A (1) finished fifth last start over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 9 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. HOT FLASH KIMMY (4) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 16 metres at this track over 1609m. BJM'S LIL MAN (5) is a consistent performer with three top-three finishes on the trot. Won't let backers down.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 9 m by Pierre In Paris (1:52.20) in NW15500L5 on July 13 at $7. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:55.20) beating Onajetplane in NW16401L5 on June 26 at $1.67. In the mix from the inside draw.

Four-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 4 m win (Fr7) at this track (1:56.10) beating Zenmeister in NW10116L5 on July 10 at $3.79. Going very well and deserves top billing.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Lefties Righties at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a NW13500L5 on July 6 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Abruzzo at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a NW11500L5 on July 13 at $4.10. Strong winning prospects.

Well beaten last start by Hot Flash Kimmy, a rival who he faces again; when 21 metres fifth at this track over 1609m in a NW12621L5 race on July 17. Can't have on that basis.
