Yonkers Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $27,299

DOUGS BABE A (2) is back today after a layoff of four months. Closed the last prep in great style with a win by 8 metres over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. SUNBURST (3) finished fifth last start, beaten 11 metres at this track over 1609m. Expecting a very good run. TRUE BLUE HANOVER (5) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. ANNA LOVES BANANAS (7) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Resuming after a spell of four months. Finished off last preparation recording a big 8 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:52.20) beating Coachellabound in FMNW6576L5 on June 19 at $1.98. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

The start before 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 45 m by Cheryls Shadow (1:53.40) in FMNW7500L5 on September 25 at $14.46. No surprise to see her bounce back to form.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Youllfindout at this track over 1609m in a FNW10526L5 on September 25 at $3.15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Dancing Dragon at this track over 1609m in a FMNW7500L5 on October 2 at $4.03. One of the key runners.

4th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 10 m by Dancing Dragon (1:53.10) in FMNW7500L5 on October 2 at $11.74. Before that 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 7th- at the bell, beaten 4 m by Cant Turn You Down (1:51.00) in 3yo OPEN F on September 18 at $22.05. This looks too tough.
