Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
IKNOWBETTER (3) was racing well before the latest appearance when he scored by 7 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Primary contender in this comparable race. CONGRESSIONAL (2) produced a better effort last start when second over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player again. LYONS FRANKY J (1) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. DELE ROW A (5) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Ruthless Hanover at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a WO25000LT on October 24 at $8.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Star Casino at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on November 2 at $1.77. Capable of a strong showing.
