Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $47,076

NEVERSTOPDREAMIN N (2) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Steps up a level but he is capable of running another bold race. RAILROAD STATION (6) made it two wins from his last three appearances a week ago, getting home by 2.25 metres over 1609m at this track. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. CATALPA RESCUE A (5) has a strong record here so must be a chance on the back of a good win over 1609m at this track last time. FINVARRA A (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Play Action Pass at this track over 1609m in a NW23191L5 on August 18 at $2.65. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Catalpa Rescue at this track over 1609m in a NW23073L5 on August 25 at $1.58. Should be right in the finish.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Sweet Beach Life (1:51.20) in INVITATION on August 31 at $14.31. Before that, 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 10 m by Bourbon County (1:52.00) in NW30000L5 on August 24 at $6.87. Recent form okay so worth some thought.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:51.10) beating Heza Risk Taker in NW30000L5 on August 31 at $1.77. Hard to beat in this sort of form.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 m by Finvarra (1:52.20) in NW20000L5 on August 31 at $2.31. Before that 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 0.6 m by Hemsworth (1:52.00) in NW11501L5 on August 17 at $2.29. Can't make much of a case.
