Yonkers Raceway Race 4 - Race 4

CURLY JAMES A (5) turned in another fine effort last start when he scored over 1609m at this track, coming in 2.25 metres ahead of his rivals. Big chance based on those recent efforts. FINVARRA A (3) finished fifth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the class to take care of this field. PANETTONE HANOVER (1) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. BOSTON BOUND (6) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Verdun (1:52.10) in NW32101L5 on September 7 at $46.58. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 2.25 m (Fr5) at this track (1:52.20) beating Federer in NW20000L5 on August 31 at $5.48. Capable of a strong showing.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Curly James at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on September 1 at $2.86. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Curly James at this track over 1609m in a 60/75CLHC on September 8 at $9.05. Going along well. Top prospects.
