Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
BETTER B BOLD (4) scored a decisive win last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by 10 metres in an impressive display. Tackles a similar assignment and he can score again. OVERTHINKING (3) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 5 metres from the winner. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope based on that latest outing. CHURCHVIEWFRANKL (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. LEVINE (2) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Last start 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 22 m by Aardies Flash (1:54.30) in NW15251L5 on February 16 at $103.60. Two runs back 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at Meadowlands beaten 0.9 m by Stop The Shootin (1:52.30) on January 24 at $2.30. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten.
