Yonkers Raceway Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $33,046

RIVER RANCH DAWSON (1) was successful last start by 2.25 metres in a nice return to form at Pocono Downs over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of making it two on end. CALLMEBIGPAPI (4) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Didn't let supporters down at his latest appearance when he got the job done by 1.5 metres over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Has the talent to salute again. LYONS PAPI ROCK (6) finished third at this track last time. Consistent performer whose best form stacks up favourably so he must be included. ALWAYS BET ON ME (3) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 1.5 m (Fr6) at Pocono Downs (1:51.10) beating Superchamp Hanover in SIMPSON on September 26 at $8.90. Going well enough to take care of these.
