Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $47,076

STERLING CHOICE (3) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 22 metres into eighth at this track over 1609m. Fares a lot better at the draw this time and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. JUMPINGJACKMAC N (1) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. BLUE LOU (2) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished second at this track over 1609m. KWICK SAND A (4) is a consistent performer with seven top-three finishes on the trot. Won't let backers down.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m second behind Speaker Of Peace at this track over 1609m NW20000L5 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres second again at this track in NW15831L5 on August 3. Racing well and not without merit.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 22 m by Chase H Hanover (1:51.30) in NW30000L5 on August 10 at $10.32. The run prior 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 m by Sweet Beach Life (1:50.10) in INVITATION on August 3 at $6.78. Good enough to turn things around.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Verdun at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on August 3 at $28.52. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Chase H Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on August 10 at $36.19. Strong winning prospects.
