Yonkers Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $20,950

SHINE A LIGHT (4) recent form has been hard to fault. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 6 metres. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. SARANAC BLUE CHIP (1) produced a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on May 18. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. COWBOY CARGO (5) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track a week ago. SIP OF BOURBON (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Feelin Western at Monticello Raceway over 1609m in a NW750PSL5 on May 12 at $7.23. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Shine A Light at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on May 21 at $16.15. Big run expected.

Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:54.20) beating Full Support in 15000CLM on May 21 at $1.05. Two runs back posted a big 13 m win as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:53.30) beating Aladdin in 15000CLM on May 11 at $1.10. Should be right in the finish.
