Yonkers Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Prize Money: $29,028

GOOG EYES (5) has been hard to fault of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at Saratoga, getting home by 5 metres. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. ACOUSTIC BLUE CHIP (7) was responsible for a far better performance last start when he scored by 2.25 metres over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. DW'S CHA CHING (3) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Pocono Downs last time out. MUIR WOODS (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at Buffalo Raceway last time out.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 11 m by Chapel (1:55.10) in NW4PM on July 11 at $25.30. Showed ability the run before when he won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr2) at Buffalo Raceway (1:59.30) beating Short Chapter in NY EXCEL on June 24 at $2.38. Can do a lot better.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Saratoga both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr1) at Saratoga (1:58.30) beating Marcello Hanover in NW2PMCD on July 8 at $2.74. Recent form hard to fault and is again a strong contender.
