Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $31,424

ANDOVER CONTESSA (1) won at Saratoga two runs ago before finishing fourth at her latest appearance over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 19 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and she is capable of a much better performance. CHIPPER DALE (7) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when he scored by 4.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Recent effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. BLUEBIRD BISHOP (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. WHEELZABLAZIN (3) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him score over 1609m at this track.
