Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
ZIDANE KEMP (2) saluted two runs back then recorded a commanding win last time out, scoring by 8 metres over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Finds a tougher race but another win is on the cards. WALKWHILEYOURTALKN (5) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at this track. HIPPIE SHAKE (4) must be considered after she finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track well beaten by Iditorod (1:58.40) in W2BNMT4 on March 4 at $7.33. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Marin County (2:00.30) in W2BNMT4 on February 18 at $12.12. Not likely to trouble the top few.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Pocono Downs both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 8 m win (Fr6) at Pocono Downs (1:58.30) beating Captainess Sawyer in NW1PM on March 3 at $2.80. In terrific form and is the one to beat again.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Civilian Drone at Saratoga over 1609m in a NW2PMCD on February 10 at $28.86. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Canthaveme at this track over 1609m in a W2BNMT4 on February 25 at $13.37. Perfectly placed to win again.

Improved last start with a good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Iditorod (1:58.40) in W2BNMT4 on March 4 at $14.83. Capable of another big run.

Last start 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, well beaten by Seven Layer (1:57.40) in W2BNMT4 on March 4 at $7.54. Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by Seven Layer (1:58.20) in W2BNMT4 on February 25 at $12.52. Should be right in the finish.
