Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $39,943

LOOKLIKEDIAMONDS A (4) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 13 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating. SHEER ARTISTRY N (2) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when third at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Good enough to put herself back in the winners' stall. RECKLESS ABANDON (5) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. FRANCENT N (8) was not beaten far last start when second over 1609m at this track. Ready to peak third-up from a spell.
