Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
SHAKESPEARE (2) was responsible for a far better performance last start when he scored by 13 metres over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. MUSIC HALL (5) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Big chance based on those recent efforts. THONG CONTROL (4) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. TWIG (1) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 8 m (Fr3) at this track (1:55.40) beating Avenger Force in NW6091L5 on March 17 at $3.20. Two runs back 4th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Brutallyhandsome (1:53.20) in NW7561L5 on March 10 at $29.77. Would be better placed in something easier.
