Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
FINVARRA A (4) scored last time out by 4.5 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. BLUE LOU (5) produced yet another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Must raise the bar but a return to the winners' stall is not out of the question. HEZA CHARTTOPPER A (3) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.6 metres at this track over 1609m. WHATS STANLEY GOT A (1) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1609m, 6 days ago and two back 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Sugar Man (1:53.10) in NW22481L5 on July 28 at $20.49. Likely to struggle again.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Captain Optimistic at Philadelphia over 1609m in a W/O 10K on July 26 at $48.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Finvarra at this track over 1609m in a NW15831L5 on August 3 at $10.87. Should be right in the finish.
