Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
SWEET BEACH LIFE (5) turned in a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on June 8. Must raise the bar but another win is on the cards. VERDUN (3) recent form has been hard to fault. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 0.9 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Primary contender based on recent form. CAPTAIN MOORE A (1) has a strong record here so must be a chance on the back of a good win over 1609m at this track last time. DOWNBYTHEWATER (2) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Meadowlands.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start posted a big 12 m win as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:52.40) beating None Bettor in NW16841L5 on June 8 at $1.26. No surprise if he made it two in a row.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Best Chip at Meadowlands over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on May 30 at $3.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Voukefalas at Meadowlands over 1609m in a NW15000L5F on June 6 at $3.20. Rates highly. Big chance.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 2.25 m (Fr6) at Hoosier Park (1:49.40) beating Tellmeaboutit in OPEN 3 on June 5 at $4.50. Two runs back 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at Hoosier Park beaten 14 m by Rip Wheeler (1:48.10) in OPEN 2-3 on May 29 at $3.20. Might find this too tough.
