Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
SHINE A LIGHT (4) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 50 metres into eighth at this track over 1609m. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a much better performance. MAD RIVER (3) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. CHESTERMAN (2) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Southwind Iron at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on November 4 at $4.52. Raced better the start before that where he won by 11 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:53.40) beating Dismas in 15000CLM on October 26 at $1.62. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Aladdin (1:53.40) in 15000CLM on November 5 at $3.72. Before that 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 1.5 m by Letsmakelotsamoney (1:54.40) in 15000CLM on October 28 at $2.34. Other runners are more appealing.
