Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $37,278

HIMSELF N (1) had been building to a win and it arrived at his latest appearance when he scored by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Big chance in this comparable race. STELLAR YANKEE (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. MUSIC HALL (3) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Last start posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:51.30) beating Topville Somebeach in 40000CLM on September 7 at $2.75. Going well enough to take this out.

Solid run when a close second behind Shipmaster at this track over 1609m in a NW8367L5 on September 3 at $3.58. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Pinny Tiger at this track over 1609m in a NW7500L5 on September 9 at $2.45. Definite winning chance.

Mixing form recently. Last start was 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Regal Idea (1:52.40) in 40000CLM on September 14 at $40.62. Before that beaten 23 metres, seventh at this track over 1609m 40000CLM on August 31. Can't recommend against this lot.
