Yonkers Raceway Race 1 - Race 1

ARIES BLUE CHIP (4) has been in the money at each run this prep, the latest effort a success over 1609m at Monticello Raceway. Primary contender in a similar assignment. MAGIC JOURNEY (3) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 35 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at Monticello Raceway. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. RIVER RANCH DAWSON (2) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at Monticello Raceway a week-and-a-half ago. JERICHO JOHNNY (5) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at Monticello Raceway over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Cooperstown Boy at Tioga Downs over 1609m in a NY EXCEL on July 18 at $14.04. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Casper The Ghost at Monticello Raceway over 1609m in a NY EXCEL on August 3 at $31.73. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
