Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
CURLY JAMES A (1) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Leading hope in a similar assignment. LYRICAL GENIUS A (5) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. SIMPLY FAST (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on August 17. Something for the Multiples: MIND HUNTER (7)

Beaten favourite last start when second at this track on August 17. Proved too good the start before at this track on August 8. Has the ability to take this out.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck by Paxamillion (1:53.30) in 40000CLM on August 10 at $12.66. Two runs back won by a 0.6 m (Fr4) at this track (1:53.20) beating Dunkin in NW10781L5 on August 5 at $10.88. Should be right in the finish.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following August 10 run. Last start won by 1.5 m (Fr5) at this track (1:54.40) beating Curly James in 40000CLM on August 17 at $35.47. This race will be harder than that win. Others are preferred.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 4 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:53.00) beating Missed The Truth in 30000CLM on August 17 at $1.52. Two runs back 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Curly James (1:52.20) in 30000CLM on August 8 at $5.60. Impossible to entertain.
