Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
CHAPTER GEO J (4) Finished hard to win last start at the track and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Has been a model of consistency this preparation. Live winning chance. MATTHEWS (5) Right in the mix last run at this track. Will be motoring home late. Going well this preparation. Will be around the mark at odds. GOYA (3) Couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last run at this venue. Expecting improvement. Should race on the speed. In a purple patch of form since coming back from a break. Must respect. MESSENGER HANOVER (6) Folded up in the straight when 4th last run at Pocono Downs. Capable of bouncing back. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Among the major players.

Caught the eye when 2nd beaten by 9.5m last time here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Prefer in something easier.

Started $16.00 and looked outclassed when 6th last run around here. Expecting improvement. Likely to be well placed early. In fine form since returning from a spell. Should not be left out of your thoughts.

Didn't attack the line when 4th last run at Pocono Downs. Capable of bouncing back. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Must be considered here.

Resuming after a break. Started at $10.00 and finished 8th last start at Flamboro Downs. Likely to get back. Needs a mighty effort to win this.
