Yonkers Raceway Race 7 - Race 7
WHICHWAYTOTHEBEACH (4) had been out of the money in recent runs before the latest appearance when he scored by 2.25 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field so he can keep the ball rolling. FINVARRA A (6) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Won't find this any harder and he can find winning ways. RESILIENT N (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. FORCE FULL A (3) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Speaker Of Peace (1:52.20) in NW20000L5 on August 10 at $1.61. Two runs back posted a big 4.5 m win (Fr4) at this track (1:52.10) beating Blue Lou in NW15831L5 on August 3 at $2.61. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m third behind Sterling Choice at this track over 1609m NW32491L5 last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second again at this track in NW20000L5 on August 10. Racing well and not without merit.
