Yonkers Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $39,943

SHEER ARTISTRY N (1) turned in a good effort at her latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on July 31. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Primary contender in a similar assignment. RASPALIA N (2) was out of the money two runs back at Pocono Downs then displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 9 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Must raise the bar but another win is on the cards. WORKLIFEBALANCE (7) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. FRANCENT N (8) is a reliable conveyance who was fourth most recently at this track. Hard to rule out.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Coastal Babe at this track over 1609m in a FNW20000L5 on July 17 at $11.72. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Sheer Artistry at this track over 1609m in a FNW24316L5 on July 31 at $6.51. Progressing well. Top prospects.
