Yonkers Raceway Race 7 - Race 7
GOTHIC ROCK (4) was struggling to make his mark before the latest appearance when he scored by 0.9 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. TAKE A CLOSER LOOK (2) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 14 metres. Expecting a very good run. MINOTAUR (8) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. TIN ROOF RAIDER A (7) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Heave Away at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on April 1 at $16.30. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Gothic Rock at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on April 8 at $5.75. Capable of taking this out.

Well beaten last start by Gothic Rock, who he meets again; when 55 metres eighth at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM race on April 8. Can't have on that basis.
