Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
CONGRESSIONAL (3) finished fourth last start over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 4.5 metres, after a modest third at Pocono Downs the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. CAPT KARMA (4) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last seven starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at this track. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. STAR CASINO N (2) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. ODDS ON NO LIMIT (1) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fourth behind Ruthless Hanover at Pocono Downs over 1609m WO25000LT last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third again at Pocono Downs same class on October 17. Rates highly so expect a bold run.
