Yonkers Raceway Race 4 - Race 4

FLEX UP (8) comes off a strong last-start win at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m, scoring by 1L after racing on speed. LIFE IS GREAT (6) was runner-up in the same race, leading throughout and beaten only 1L, and again looks a key chance. SHOESTRINGS (3) finished 3rd in that event, maintaining her consistent record at the distance. CHAPTER GEO J (4) resumes after a spell but was 2nd at Tioga Downs over this trip when last seen. PRESS (5) and FOREIGN XCHANGE (2) are both last-start winners at the distance but have since struggled to recapture that form. Flex Up (8) and Life Is Great (6) bring the best recent Yonkers form and look the main hopes.

Has struggled in recent starts, finishing 7th at Yonkers Raceway last time out behind Flex Up, beaten 10.5L at $41. Previous two runs at Saratoga Harness also saw him finish well back. Won at Pocono Downs five starts ago but has not featured since. Needs to lift on recent form but is capable at best.
