Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
HAMMERING HANK (4) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Good enough to take out a race like this. SPIRIT OF STLOUIS N (5) finished fourth last start over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 4 metres, after a good win at Meadowlands the run prior. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a much better performance. SAMHARA N (2) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track. PEACE OUT POSSE (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth behind Be Dazzled Lou at this track over 1609m in a 40000CLM on April 13 at $6.12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Sinbad at this track over 1609m in a NW7500L5 on April 20 at $2.44. Plenty to like about his prospects.
