Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
STERLING CHOICE (6) registered a decent performance last start when he battled on well to finish 4 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Tackles a similar assignment and he can grab that well-deserved win. TYPHOON BANNER N (4) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by 2.25 metres over 1609m at Meadowlands. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. WHATS STANLEY GOT A (2) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. JOEMIKIYOURSOFINE (1) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1609m at this track.

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Speaker Of Peace at this track over 1609m in a NW20041L5 on March 31 at $51.35. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Whats Stanley Got at this track over 1609m in a NW15551L5 on April 6 at $22.52. In the mix from the inside draw.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m third behind Sterling Choice at this track over 1609m NW20021L5 last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres third again at this track in NW20000L5 on March 9. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
