Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
SWEET BEACH LIFE (7) is in outstanding form with wins at his last four starts, most recently when he was too good over this track and distance a week ago. Must overcome a very wide draw. Won't find this any harder and he can go right on with the job. PINNY TIGER A (2) finished sixth last start, beaten 18 metres at this track over 1609m. Expecting a very good run. MOSSDALE BEN N (6) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished second at this track over 1609m. CELTIC SPIRIT N (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Meadowlands over 1609m.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 m by Sweet Beach Life (1:50.40) in INVITATION on July 13 at $19.82. A win is unlikely.

Scored at his last three starts. Last start won by 1.5 m (Fr5) at this track (1:52.10) beating Young Bluey in NW30000L5 on July 13 at $5.08. Despite winning form this is likely to prove too tough.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by a 0.9 m (Fr6) at this track (1:50.40) beating Mossdale Ben in INVITATION on July 13 at $3.06. Two runs back won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:51.10) beating Mossdale Ben in INVITATION on June 22 at $1.70. Rates highly. Big chance.
