Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
COMMODUS A (4) finished fourth two starts ago then registered a comfortable win last time out, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. UNCLE RAT (2) made it two on the trot last start when he got the cash by 0.9 metres over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Steps up a level but he is capable of running another bold race. FRANK LEAHY (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4 metres at this track over 1609m. TORRONE (3) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Four-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:54.30) beating Stacking Green in 40000CLM on August 20 at $2.54. Recent form hard to fault and is again a strong contender.
