Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
SWEET BEACH LIFE (2) produced a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on June 22. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done again. DANDY IDEAL (6) made it two wins and a minor placing from his last three starts when he scored by 4.5 metres on June 27 over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. CATALPA RESCUE A (3) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished second at Plainridge Park over 1609m. SOHO FIRESTONE A (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Catalpa Rescue at this track over 1609m in a INVITATION on June 15 at $7.27. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Mossdale Ben at this track over 1609m in a INVITATION on June 29 at $13.31. Can build on that fine effort last start.
