Yonkers Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Prize Money: $20,921

SHINE A LIGHT (5) made it two wins from his last three starts when he scored by 22 metres on June 12 over 1609m at this track. Big chance in a similar race. MADELINES BLK JACK (1) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last five starts including a third most recently at Philadelphia over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. DECISION DAY (3) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago. CAPTAIN BATBOY (4) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Meadowlands.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Eminently Hanover at Philadelphia over 1609m in a 10000CL NW on June 5 at $4.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Advance Man at Philadelphia over 1609m in a 10000CL NW on June 12 at $2.70. In the mix from the inside draw.

12-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Shine A Light (1:53.10) in 15000CLM on June 12 at $38.20. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into sixth behind Saranac Blue Chip at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on June 4 at $90.59. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.

Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr5) at Pocono Downs (1:52.10) beating Mr Dunnigans in 7500CLHCNW on June 9 at $1.40. Two runs back 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 7 m by Stay Sharp (1:52.10) in 10000CL NW on May 29 at $2.10. Not a genuine contender.
