Yonkers Raceway Race 7 - Race 7
OPTICAL ILLUSION N (4) ran second last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 6 metres. Good enough to be right in the finish. ROYAL DESIRE (1) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 7 metres. Expect him to be prominent. JUST ENUFF STUFF (2) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at this track last time out. KIMBLE A (3) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on June 17.
