Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9

OPTICAL ILLUSION (8) produced a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. JACK'S LEGEND (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. TECHTOPIA HANOVER (2) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. CAPTAIN PARADISE (1) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at Pocono Downs last time out.
