Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $34,237

BETTOR BY SEASIDE (3) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. SUMOMENTSOMWHERE A (2) was responsible for a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on July 28. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. KEAYANG KAMIKAZE A (1) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. EVER HOPING A (5) is tough to leave out on the back of two successive wins, most recently at this track nine days ago.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m fourth behind Sumomentsomwhere at this track over 1609m NW15301L5 last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres third again at this track in NW16596L5 on July 21. Racing well and not without merit.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back won by 4 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:52.30) beating Bondi Shake in 40000CLM on July 13 at $2.24. Last start just missed, game effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Iknowbetter (1:53.00) in 50000CLM on July 22 at $1.71. Rates highly. Big chance.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start posted a big 7 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:51.30) beating Simply Fast in 40000CLM on July 27 at $2.23. Hard to leave out on current form. Worth including.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following June 22 run. Last start posted a big 15 m win (Fr2) at this track (1:53.00) beating Bettor By Seaside in 50000CLM on July 22 at $3.33. This race will be harder than that win. Predicted to struggle.
