Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Stake: $25,678

SHINE A LIGHT (1) produced another fine effort last start when he scored over 1609m at this track, coming in 4 metres ahead of his rivals. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. DELIGHTFUL TERROR (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. GOTHIC ROCK (2) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at this track over 1609m.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 4 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:55.00) beating Delightful Terror in 15000CLM on August 5 at $1.51. Going well enough to take this out.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Cyrus at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on July 27 at $2.63. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind I'm Talkin Hungry at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on August 3 at $4.59. Hard to roll on current form.

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Curly James (1:53.20) in 20000CLM on August 1 at $85.24. Before that, 9th (Fr7) over 1609m at Tioga Downs, beaten 45 m by Carronsidelegcy (1:52.30) in NW3001-4 on July 19 at $10.55. One of the better hopes.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Cyrus at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on July 27 at $21.62. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Shine A Light at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on August 5 at $6.70. Chief contender.
