Yonkers Raceway Race 7 - Race 7
HEZA RISK TAKER A (1) turned in a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on August 10. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. VICIOUS (7) was responsible for a far better performance last time out, finishing second over 1609m at this track. Must overcome a very wide draw. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. ROCK THE BELLES (3) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. MY ULTIMATE BYRON A (4) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Verdun at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on August 3 at $97.18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Whichwaytothebeach at this track over 1609m in a NW21480L5 on August 10 at $13.51. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
