Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
EVER HOPING A (2) was responsible for a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on September 7. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. IKNOWBETTER (3) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 0.6 metres from the winner. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can bounce back to winning ways. BETTOR BY SEASIDE (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. KEAYANG KAMIKAZE A (1) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good second over 1609m at this track two runs back.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by a 0.6 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:52.00) beating Iknowbetter in 50000CLM on September 7 at $1.82. No surprise if he made it two in succession.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 21 m by Voukefalas (1:49.40) in NW20500L5 on September 5 at $66. Before that 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Finvarra (1:52.20) in NW20000L5 on August 31 at $42.60. Would rather see in something easier.

Last start 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Ever Hoping (1:52.00) in 50000CLM on September 7 at $12.25. Two runs back won by 4.5 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:52.20) beating Over The Horizon in 30000CLM on August 29 at $2.40. Unlikely to make an impression.
