Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
NEVERSTOPDREAMIN N (1) turned in a much better run last start, finishing second over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Recent efforts are good enough to take out a race like this. IMA PERFECT CHOICE (4) finished fifth last start over 1609m at this track but gave a good account, beaten only 2.25 metres. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. BOSTON BOUND (2) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. COURTS ON FIRE (5) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at Pocono Downs.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Best Chip at Meadowlands over 1609m in a OPEN on August 8 at $8.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Play Action Pass at this track over 1609m in a NW23191L5 on August 18 at $2.65. Looks the testing material.

The run before 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, well beaten by Paris's Dragon (1:52.40) in NW20000L5 on July 20 at $12.64. Expecting a spike in form this time.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr3) at Pocono Downs (1:50.30) beating Betting On Caesar in W6-8PM CG on August 15 at $2.10. Hard to leave out on current form. Sure to give backers a sight.
