Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
DEVILISH HILL (7) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 12 metres victory over 1609m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Finds a tougher race but another win is on the cards. SIR PINOCCHIO (6) finished third two starts ago then registered a commanding win last start, scoring by 7 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. KIERKEGAARD K (5) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at Pocono Downs. No reason the run cannot continue. CAMERA MAN (2) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago. Something for the Multiples: MISSISSIPPI STORM (3)

Last start 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Plainridge Park, beaten 13 m by Memorynimagination (1:54.10) in OPEN on October 8 at $4.90. At his previous start good run when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at Plainridge Park, beaten 2.25 m by Outside The Fire (1:53.20) in OPEN on October 2 at $15.50. Will give a good account.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Full Of Muscles at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on October 8 at $13.84. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Sir Pinocchio at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on October 15 at $16.90. This race appears well within his grasp.

Last start 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by Kildare King (1:55.40) in NW20000L5 on October 8 at $3.34. Two runs back posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:57.00) beating Seven Layer in NW15000L5 on October 2 at $1.38. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.

Didn't do much last time out, 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Full Of Muscles (1:55.10) in NW30000L5 on October 8 at $7.58. Before that 4th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 5 m by Green Pastures (1:54.20) in NW30000L5 on October 1 at $4.07. Can't make much of a case.
