Yonkers Raceway Race 7 - Race 7
STERLING CHOICE (2) won at this track two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 13 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Forgive that last effort. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. MATAI PHIL N (3) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. JOEMIKIYOURSOFINE (4) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. ITS A ME MARIO (6) finished just 7 metres away over 1609m at this track last start. Strips fitter third-up and can improve.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Ken Hanover at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a WO25000LT on May 9 at $90.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Lou Hill at this track over 1609m in a INVITATION on May 18 at $22.88. Capable of taking this out.
