Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $60,653

DESPERATE MAN (2) recent form has been very consistent. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten by 4.5 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has the talent to take this out. SOHO FIRESTONE (3) made it two wins from his last four outings a week ago, getting home by 2.25 metres over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. That latest effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. CHASE H HANOVER (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Northfield Park last time out. STREET HAWK (5) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m.
