Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
NAPALM (5) scored last time out by 0.9 metres in a nice return to form at Pocono Downs over 1609m. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to make it two on the trot. EXISTENTIAL (8) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. ONAORCHARDHUNT (3) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Lady Oakley at Tioga Downs over 1609m in a NY EXCEL-F on September 19 at $17.92. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind American Story at this track over 1609m in a FMW2BNM4PM on September 23 at $5.81. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Last start 8th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 7th- beaten 17 m by Angels Amoung Us (1:53.30) in 3-4yo F on September 7 at $7.55. Two runs back 7th over 1609m at Grand River Raceway was 4th- at the bell, beaten 2.75 m by Better B Something (1:53.20) in FM on August 31 at $9.05. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by a 0.9 m (Fr3) at Pocono Downs (1:51.30) beating Amira Hanover in W3-5PM FM on September 21 at $4. No reason she cannot get the job done again.
