Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $33,382

FORCE FULL A (6) made it two wins from his last three outings eight days ago, getting home by 0.9 metres over 1609m at this track. Big chance in this comparable race. BONDI LOCKDOWN A (3) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last eight starts including a third most recently at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating once more. LYONS FRANKY J (5) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1609m at this track. Great chance to break through. KEAYANG KAMIKAZE A (4) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth behind Missed The Truth at this track over 1609m in a NW8041L5 on July 14 at $7.14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Hammering Hank at this track over 1609m in a NW7500L5 on July 21 at $16.26. Capable of testing this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Moment Is Here at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on June 30 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Evileye Fleegle at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on July 13 at $24.38. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m second behind Southwind Celsius at this track over 1609m NW15000L5 last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second again at this track in NW10000L5 on July 14. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Two runs back 9th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 7th- at the bell, beaten 15 m by Figment (1:51.30) in 5yo on May 23 at $19.90. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course.

Before that 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Boston Bound (1:52.40) in NW10000L5 on July 14 at $2.07. This looks too tough.
