Yonkers Raceway Race 6 - Race 6
ACOUSTIC BLUE CHIP (3) was in the money at Batavia Downs two runs ago before finishing eighth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Tioga Downs, beaten 20 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. This should be an easier assignment so he is in the right race to return to form. RAUCOUS (2) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. B TOTALLY NUDE (6) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at this track over 1609m.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts. Placed last start 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 2.25 m by Stir The Pot (1:56.40) in NW1PM on September 10 at $2.80. Before that 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 5 m by Pa Nutmeg (1:57.00) in NW1PM on August 20 at $6.10. Happy to risk.
