Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
MASSIVE DESIRE (4) made it two wins from his last six runs two weeks ago, getting home by 0.6 metres over 1609m at this track. That latest effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. FRANK LEAHY (1) failed last start over 1609m at this track in a run that may pay to forgive as he drew poorly. Had been racing well before that, with a win and two placings from his previous three outings. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. In a similar line up he can add to the winning tally. WHEELZABLAZIN (3) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week ago. KILDARE KING (5) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at this track.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Dribbling Bi at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on July 30 at $11.94. Raced better the start before that where he posted a big 6 m win (Fr4) at Pocono Downs (1:52.40) beating Lmc Wagon Wheel in W6-8PM on July 18 at $4.20. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.
