Yonkers Raceway Race 7 - Race 7

STERLING CHOICE (5) produced a strong effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 4 metres from the winner in second. Comes back to Yonkers Raceway and has enjoyed success here in the past. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. VERDUN (2) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can get back to the winner's list. IKNOWBETTER (1) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fifth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. CAPTAIN MOORE A (7) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Captinhammerhead (1:53.00) in NW23931L5 on May 25 at $65.26. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 4 m win (Fr1) at this track (1:52.10) beating Little Willy in 60/75CLHC on May 18 at $2.56. Has the right credentials to take this out.
