Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
DUNKIN (5) had to dig deep to score last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.6 metres. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. THE GREEK FREAK (2) finished eighth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Big chance if he is at his best. LYRICAL GENIUS A (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. CHARLIES WISH (3) is close to a win after two successive seconds, the latest over 1609m at Philadelphia. Something for the Multiples: DUNKIN' (5)

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Smooth Dream at Philadelphia over 1609m in a CG W4-8 on July 19 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Toby Ornot Toby at Philadelphia over 1609m in a CG W3-8 on July 26 at $2.90. Capable of testing this line-up.

Last start won by a 0.6 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:53.00) beating Jett Star in NW7500L5 on July 28 at $2.72. No reason he cannot get the job done again.
