Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $46,862

BLUE LOU (1) made it six minor placings from his past seven starts when he finished 7 metres away in second last time out over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. His last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. BRUTALLYHANDSOME A (4) made it two wins from his last five outings eight days ago, getting home by 9 metres over 1609m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. JABBAR (3) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. SOHO DOW JONES A (2) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Catalpa Rescue at this track over 1609m in a NW33871L5 on May 25 at $58.01. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Endofstory at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on June 1 at $4.30. In the mix from the inside draw.
