Yonkers Raceway Race 8

1609M

Prize Money: $33,898

VICI (5) Was agonizingly close last time around here and getting better in recent performances. Looking sharp on the track since returning from a break. Recent form of Joe Bongiorno is strong. Can give this a shake. THE IDEAL DANCER A (1) Right in contention last run at the track. Can show a better performance this time and will appreciate a good draw. Jason Bartlett is a bonus. Strong chance. HEMSWORTH N (4) Just missed last start at the track. Driver Matthew Kakaley and trainer Jared W Bako can't be overlooked. Have to respect the recent Jared W Bako form. Should go close. TASTE OF HONEY (6) Moved ahead of some to finish 5th last time at this venue. Has early speed and positions nicely. Suggest each way.
