Yonkers Raceway Race 7 - Race 7
VEGAS STRIP N (1) has had two runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 1609m at Pocono Downs, finishing 9 metres away from the winner in fifth. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. SPEAKER OF PEACE (4) was successful last time out by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Big chance in a similar assignment. CHURCHVIEWFRANKL (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. HEMSWORTH N (8) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Be Dazzled Lou at this track over 1609m in a NW11221L5 on March 10 at $6.04. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Speaker Of Peace at this track over 1609m in a NW10241L5 on March 16 at $7.57. This race appears well within his grasp.
