Yonkers Raceway Race 3 - Race 3

BETTOR BY SEASIDE (2) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 20 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Meets a comparable field and from this more favourable draw he can feature in the finish. EVER HOPING A (6) won three back at this track and registered another victory last time out, scoring by 9 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can make it two on the trot. KEAYANG KAMIKAZE A (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. OPTICAL ILLUSION N (4) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Ever Hoping at this track over 1609m in a 50000CLM on August 12 at $24.54. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 m by Keayang Kamikaze (1:53.10) in 50000CLM on August 5 at $7.53. Capable of testing this line-up.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Keayang Kamikaze at this track over 1609m in a 50000CLM on August 5 at $18.37. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Ever Hoping at this track over 1609m in a 50000CLM on August 12 at $6.30. Chief contender.

Well beaten last start by Ever Hoping, a rival who he faces again; when 23 metres seventh at this track over 1609m in a 50000CLM race on August 12. Can't see him featuring.
