Yonkers Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $40,639

PARIS'S DRAGON (2) recent form has been very consistent. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 3 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope based on recent form. CHASE H HANOVER (7) had been building to a win and it arrived last time out when he scored by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another big race. THENU CAME ALONG A (5) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. SPECULATING A (1) must be respected after scoring last start by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 3 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.00) beating Panettone Hanover in NW20000L5 on July 14 at $2.66. No reason he cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 24 m by Laser Speed (1:53.00) in NW15000L5 on June 23 at $3.13. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:52.20) beating Mysweetboymax in NW10451L5 on June 9 at $1.16. Keep him in mind.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Mac's Delight at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on June 30 at $48.95. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Chase H Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on July 13 at $7.17. Capable of taking this out.
