Yonkers Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $87,290

SIR PINOCCHIO (3) made it two wins from his last three starts when he scored by 0.6 metres on November 21 over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Won't find this any harder and he can salute once again. PERICULUM (4) was in the money at Meadowlands two runs ago before finishing seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 90 metres. Primary contender if he is at his best. ULTION FACE S (2) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. DIRE STRAITS (8) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m.
