Yonkers Raceway Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $27,933

OVERTHINKING (5) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 17 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Meets a comparable field and he can finish a lot closer this time. MANFERNO (2) was out of the money last start when 11 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at this track. Best form reference might be his win at this track four starts back. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Leading hope if anywhere near his best. ALTA CLASSIC A (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m. SAMHARA N (3) is close to a win after two successive seconds, the latest over 1609m at this track.

Last start 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Orlando Blue (1:53.00) in 40000CLM on May 4 at $2.85. Two runs back won by 1.5 m (Fr5) at this track (1:52.30) beating Quote Me Not in 30000CLM on April 27 at $4.88. Might find this too tough.

Last start 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 11 m by Little Willy (1:52.30) in 50000CLM on May 4 at $13.58. Before that, 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Brutallyhandsome (1:52.30) in 50000CLM on April 27 at $10.01. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Hammering Hank at this track over 1609m in a NW7500L5 on April 27 at $5.21. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Rydingtothewire at this track over 1609m in a NW10000L5 on May 4 at $2.09. Capable of testing this line-up.
