Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $40,230

CURLY JAMES A (3) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. FINVARRA A (4) was out of the money last start when 0.9 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at this track. Best form reference might be his win at this track three starts back. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a much better performance. CAPT KARMA (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m. Must be included. REGAL IDEA (2) could only finish seventh over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow fourth behind Hemsworth at this track over 1609m 60/75CLHC last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres second again at this track same class on September 29. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 0.9 m by Hemsworth (1:52.10) in 60/75CLHC on October 6 at $11.40. The run before 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 24 m by Iknowbetter (1:52.40) in 60/75CLHC on September 22 at $11.69. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.
