Yonkers Raceway Race 3 - Race 3

CURLY JAMES A (4) scored two runs back then registered a comfortable win last time out, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field so he can continue the winning form. BOSTON BOUND (3) is racing well with seven top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up so he can add to the impressive recent efforts. ALWAYS B ELITE N (2) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. ORLANDO BLUE A (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Always A Thrill at this track over 1609m in a NW15186L5 on August 18 at $12.41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Curly James at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on September 1 at $18.31. Leading contender and the inside draw helps.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Catalpa Rescue at this track over 1609m in a NW23073L5 on August 25 at $11.55. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Curly James at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on September 1 at $2.86. Going along well. Top prospects.

Eight-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 6 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:52.20) beating Orlando Blue in NW20000L5 on September 1 at $1.86. Going very well and deserves top billing.

Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Royal Desire (1:54.00) in NW10811L5 on September 1 at $14.76. Two runs back won by 2.25 m (Fr6) at this track (1:52.30) beating Its A Me Mario in NW7561L5 on August 18 at $3.48. Would rather see in something easier.
