Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $35,272

CHULO (3) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. BLACKHAWK ZETTE (4) finished fourth last start over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 14 metres, after a modest third at Philadelphia the run prior. Has the ability to take care of this field. OPTRIX (2) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. LOUS GAMBLER (1) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m.
