Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $60,465

DUNKIN (5) finished third last start, beaten 7 metres at Northfield Park over 1609m. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat. HEZA CHARTTOPPER (6) put together some minor placings then was at his best last start to score by 0.9 metres over 1609m at this track on August 11. Tackles a similar assignment and he can make it two on the trot. ALL CLASS (2) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. HOWLENTHEHILLS (7) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at this track over 1609m.
