Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
HEMSWORTH N (3) turned in a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on August 24. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. BLUE LOU (1) turned in an uncharacteristically poor run most recently when 15 metres away in sixth over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and he can turn the recent effort around. KWICK SAND A (4) 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. EVILEYE FLEEGLE (2) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Resilient at this track over 1609m in a NW22601L5 on August 24 at $10.07. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 3 m by Sterling Choice (1:52.20) in NW32491L5 on August 17 at $7.32. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Eight-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.6 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:52.30) beating Better B Bold in NW15000L5 on August 24 at $1.52. Recent form hard to fault and is again a strong contender.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Railroad Station at this track over 1609m in a NW20951L5 on August 11 at $9.76. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Play Action Pass at this track over 1609m in a NW23191L5 on August 18 at $7.42. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.
