Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
VERDUN (1) finished fifth last start, beaten 10 metres at this track over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating. PINNY TIGER A (7) has had two runs this campaign and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 45 metres away from the winner in sixth. Must overcome a very wide draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. YOUNG BLUEY A (2) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. WHICHWAYTOTHEBEACH (5) disappointed last time when sixth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Mac's Delight at this track over 1609m in a NW33876L5 on July 20 at $19.34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Sterling Choice at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on July 27 at $11.46. One of the key runners.

Before that 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 4 m by Railroad Station (1:51.10) in NW15000L5 on July 14 at $2.12. Finds a few better. Can't recommend.
