Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
HARD SEVEN (8) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week ago, finishing 9 metres away in third over 1609m at Philadelphia. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. MUSICAL RIDE (4) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 12 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Has the class to take care of this field. BACKSTREET PLAYER (1) could only manage eighth when resuming over 1609m at this track last start. TACHYON (3) should be forward enough to run a big race first-up from a layoff following four trials.

Didn't impress first-up at this course and distance beaten 24 m eighth behind Nymeria in a NW10926L5 on May 1. Big chance if he can build on his first-up effort.
