Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
VENTURESOME ARDEN N (3) turned in another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish third over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. KIMBLE A (1) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago. OPTICAL ILLUSION N (2) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Yorokobi at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L5 on April 7 at $34.73. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Peace Out Posse at this track over 1609m in a NW6301L5 on April 14 at $3.39. Can build on that fine effort last start.
