Yonkers Raceway Race 1 - Race 1
FINVARRA A (2) resumes from a spell of 11 months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. ESCAPE TO AMERICA (6) has been racing very well and deserved his success last start, scoring by 5 metres over 1609m at this track. Big chance in a similar assignment. MUSIC HALL (1) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. WATTSUP SUNSHINE A (3) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on June 6.

At the previous start 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 24 m by Hemsworth (1:53.40) in NW10000L5 on May 25 at $35.29. Watch for a far better effort this time.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m third behind Mac's Marvel at this track over 1609m NW13901L5 last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second again at this track in NW5676L5 on May 29. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
