Yonkers Raceway Race 7 - Race 7

YOUNG BLUEY A (7) made a winning return at his latest appearance a week ago, getting home by 5 metres over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. His last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. BLUE LOU (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a nice race and can discover winning form. BONDI LOCKDOWN A (3) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at this track over 1609m. OPTICAL ILLUSION N (1) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Copperfield at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on April 6 at $6.22. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Boston Bound at this track over 1609m in a NW22241L5 on April 28 at $2.70. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.
