Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $61,341

SIR PINOCCHIO (6) finished fourth last start over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 18 metres, after a good win at Pocono Downs the run prior. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. PAYBACK MONI (3) was 0.9 metres away in second at this track over 1609m last start at her first run back from a spell. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Her last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. MY DEGENERATE (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. ASTEROID (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m.

Registered three wins at his last three starts. Last start won by 3 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:55.00) beating Frank Leahy in NW20000L5 on August 27 at $1.92. Despite winning form this is likely to prove too tough.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 0.9 m by Voguish (1:55.00) in FM INV on August 27 at $2.38. Likely improver who is a strong winning chance.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Asteroid (1:55.10) in NW32881L5 on August 20 at $4. Two runs back won by a neck (Fr1) at this track (1:54.20) beating Asteroid in NW30351L5 on August 6 at $3.08. Capable of another big run.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Nordic Catcher S at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a FFA-G3 on August 22 at $10.10. Raced better the start before that where he won by 3 m as favourite (Fr5) at Pocono Downs (1:51.10) beating Blackhawk Zette in NW20500L5 on August 17 at $1.30. Big run expected.
