Yonkers Raceway Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $31,008

TWIG (5) won at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 metres. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a much better performance. SHAKESPEARE (1) finished fifth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 22 metres, after a modest third at this track the run prior. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope if he is at his best. ALTA CLASSIC (3) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. TWIGGS PUB (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m.
