Yonkers Raceway Race 7 - Race 7
DANDY IDEAL (6) impressed when fresh from a spell last time out when successful over 1609m at Pocono Downs on May 30, getting home by 3 metres. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. SOHO FIRESTONE A (2) recorded another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. REDWOOD HANOVER (1) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. HOWLENTHEHILLS (3) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on June 8.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Captinhammerhead at this track over 1609m in a INVITATION on June 1 at $8.38. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Sweet Beach Life at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on June 8 at $1.77. Well placed to go one better.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Verdun (1:51.10) in INVITATION on June 8 at $16.29. Before that, 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 8 m by Young Bluey (1:50.10) in OPEN on May 24 at $2.50. Look for improvement on last start. Not out of it.

Registered three wins at his last three starts. Last start won by 5 m as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:53.00) beating Boston Bound in NW33871L5 on May 25 at $1.55. Despite winning form this is likely to prove too tough.

Last start 8th over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway was 3rd- at the bell, beaten 7 m by Lou Hill (1:51.20) on May 29 at $8.95. Two runs back 4th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 23 m by Lou Hill (1:50.00) in INVITATION on May 18 at $7.62. Better off investing elsewhere.
