Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $35,272

TWO FACED (3) has drawn wide in recent runs. Failed to feature last time out when fifth over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Won't find this any harder and he can finish a lot closer this time. BRUTALLYHANDSOME (1) scored at this track three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when second over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can give this a mighty shake. SEMI TOUGH (4) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fourth at Pocono Downs over 1609m. SWEET BEACH LIFE (7) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m.
