Yonkers Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $30,172

ISCAH HANOVER (2) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 30 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Leading hope from this favourable draw if anywhere near his best. ROCKET CITY SMITTY (6) was 4.5 metres away in second at Pocono Downs over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. LYONS PAPI ROCK (1) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at Philadelphia two-and-a-half weeks ago. CAPTAIN AMORE N (3) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Moneyhill at Philadelphia over 1609m in a CGNW5PM on September 20 at $20.70. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 2.25 m by Iscah Hanover (1:52.10) in CGNW3PM on September 11 at $1.30. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Twin B Fresh Bet (1:53.10) in HGW2BN4PM on September 29 at $10.02. Showed ability the run before when he won by a neck as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:55.20) beating Winningmachine in CHGNW2PM on September 22 at $1.82. Strong winning hope.

Solid run when a close second behind Iscah Hanover at this track over 1609m in a CHGNW2PM on September 22 at $3.37. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Sweet Joel at this track over 1609m in a CHGNW3PM on September 29 at $10.28. Hard to fault on current form.
