Yonkers Raceway Race 4 - Race 4

CURLY JAMES A (1) finished second two starts ago then registered a comfortable win last start, scoring by 7 metres over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. BOSTON BOUND (3) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Leading hope based on recent form. BACKSTREET SHADOW (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by 9 metres at this track over 1609m. PANETTONE HANOVER (6) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 3 m by Th Colby (1:53.10) in NW15251L5 on August 25 at $10.93. Before that beaten 4 metres, sixth at this track over 1609m NW20000L5 on August 18. Preferred in something easier.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Finvarra at this track over 1609m in a NW15831L5 on August 3 at $8.15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Hemsworth at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on August 24 at $23.02. Can build on that fine effort last start.
