Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
SPENCER HANOVER (9) was responsible for a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at Vernon Downs on June 12. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. SILVERSTEIN (4) continued a strong run of recent form and registered another success last time out, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at Tioga Downs. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of another big performance. SECURED (6) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Tioga Downs. NORDIC DANCER S (10) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at Meadowlands over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Nebbiolo at Plainridge Park over 1609m in a BUNKERHILL-G3 on May 16 at $3. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Julies Trix at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW3PM on June 7 at $3.50. Rates highly. Big chance.

Up 403m after a handy effort last time; won by 12 m as favourite (Fr1) at Philadelphia (1:53.00) beating Chestnut Kelly in NW3PM on June 4 at $1.20 Last effort had merit but will be tested by this assignment. Others have better credentials.
