Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $40,230

AMBUSHED (2) has been racing very well and deserved her success last start, scoring by 4.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running another big race. LOOKLIKEDIAMONDS A (7) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. SHEER ARTISTRY N (1) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Raspalia at this track over 1609m in a FNW20000L5 on September 25 at $2.31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Shesgotthejack at this track over 1609m in a FNW20000L5 on October 2 at $10.18. Definite winning chance.
