Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
MAGIC JOURNEY (7) Rocketed home when winning last start at Buffalo Raceway. Should race on the speed. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. DRAMAS A (4) Narrowly beaten last run here and getting better in recent performances. Showing great form since coming back from a spell. Driver Jason J Bartlett rates highly aboard. A win wouldn't surprise. SWEET JOEL (3) Ran on hard when winning last start around here and form has been improving over recent runs. Respect against this field. MATANZAS CREEK (5) Made ground when closing off to finish 5th last time at Pocono Downs. Will be hitting the line strongly. Might be a trifecta chance.

Odds of $12.00 and finished 7th last start here but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Will be trying to topple them late. This looks a tough assignment.

Romped home to win last start at Buffalo Raceway. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Has run into the placings all attempts this campaign. Good winning chance.
