Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $32,078

TH COLBY (2) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last seven starts including a third most recently at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he can add to the impressive recent record. IMA PERFECT CHOICE (6) ran well winning last start at this track over 1609m by 4.5 metres. Expected to run well. LASER SPEED (1) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fifth at this track over 1609m. JETT STAR N (5) is worth some thought based on his third over 1609m at this track two runs ago.

Solid performance when a close third behind Really Bright at this track over 1609m in a NW10000L5 on June 9 at $2.62. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Always A Thrill at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on June 16 at $24.74. Nicely placed to take this out.
