Yonkers Raceway Race 6 - Race 6
BACKSTREET SHADOW (1) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 9 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Has the class to take this out. DELE ROW A (3) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 10 metres. Expecting a very good run. THE MIKI TAKER A (2) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m. Must be included. EFFINGHAM (7) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Meadowlands nine days ago.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing sixth behind Sterling Choice at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on July 27 at $23.37. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Matai Phil at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on August 17 at $2.77. Capable of testing this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Orlando Blue at this track over 1609m in a NW7500L5 on August 5 at $5.56. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Hemsworth at this track over 1609m in a NW11501L5 on August 17 at $20.65. Sure to play a significant role.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Play Action Pass (1:51.40) in NW15000L5 on August 10 at $23.99. The run before 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Heza Charttopper (1:52.40) in NW15000L5 on July 27 at $5.45. Worth another chance. Leading contender.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Orlando Blue at this track over 1609m NW10000L5 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres fifth again at this track in NW10781L5 on August 5. Racing well and not without merit.

Last start 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Hemsworth (1:52.00) in NW11501L5 on August 17 at $52.49. Two runs back 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 2.25 m by Be Dazzled Lou (1:50.10) in NW8500L5 on August 1 at $3. May find this too tough.

Returns after six months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fourth behind Sandbetweenmytoes at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a NW12500L5 on February 28 at $6.20. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:54.00) beating Currys Flurry in HGW2BN4PM on October 14 at $2.07. Sure to be very competitive.
