Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
GOYA (7) Dashed home to win last start at this venue and getting better in recent performances. Will be in the finish. VERY BUSY (8) Clearly outclassed when 8th last start at this venue. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Stable have opted for a driver change with Jason J Bartlett aboard. Suitably placed in this race. AJAX BLUE CHIP (1) Right up there last run at this venue and good career start. Exhibiting good form since coming back from a break and drawn beautifully. Respect in this event. NYCTOPHILE (2) Close up last run at Tioga Downs and showing consistent performance in races. Likely to be well placed early. Displaying good ability this preparation. One to watch and an each way chance.

Was agonizingly close last run at the track and has minimal work to do from the alley. In fine form since returning from a break and solid career start. Must be considered here.

Narrowly denied victory last run at Tioga Downs and promising career start. Shows good early pace. In top form since resuming from a break. Value runner at good odds.

Jumped at $33.00 and competed in a tight contest last start at Meadowlands. Does take a while to get into stride. Others are better.
