Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
TASTE OF HONEY (4) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Plainridge Park, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Big chance based on that recent effort. POP IT (3) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 25 metres into fifth at Pocono Downs over 1609m. Meets some better types this time but from a far better starting position a big run is on the cards. DONTTELLMENOW (2) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. TWIG (8) is the best of the rest after finishing third when resuming over 1609m at this track last time out.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Carabao (1:55.10) in NW5000L5 on August 29 at $26.23. The run before 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 23 m by Printville (1:54.00) in NW5000L5 on August 21 at $17.07. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Music Hall at this track over 1609m in a NW5261L5 on August 25 at $7.82. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Odds On Blockchain at Plainridge Park over 1609m in a NW6000CD on August 31 at $3. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Last start 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 30 m by Mardi Gras Man (1:51.30) in NW5000L5 on August 30 at $109.40. Two runs back won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr1) at Philadelphia (1:52.40) beating Clouseau in NW2500L5 on August 20 at $2.30. This race looks too tough.
