Yonkers Raceway Race 7 - Race 7
VERDUN (2) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 18 metres into eighth at this track over 1609m. Has the benefit of a far better draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to take out a race like this. REDWOOD HANOVER (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. CAPTAIN MOORE A (3) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m. Must be included. STERLING CHOICE (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Sweet Beach Life at this track over 1609m in a 3-6 YO OPN on June 15 at $4.66. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Downbythewater at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on June 22 at $4.07. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
