Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8

SWEET BEACH LIFE (8) made it eight wins in succession last start, getting home by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Must overcome a very wide draw. That recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. CAPTAIN ALBANO (7) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 9 metres into sixth at Pocono Downs over 1609m. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Has the class to take this out. CHASE H HANOVER (3) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. BOURBON COUNTY (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by 5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Best Chip at Meadowlands over 1609m in a OPEN on August 8 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Sweet Beach Life at this track over 1609m in a INVITATION on August 24 at $3.16. Definite winning chance.

Showed ability the race before when he won by a 0.9 m (Fr8) at Meadowlands (1:48.30) beating Prince Hal Hanover in MCKEE MEM-G2 on August 8 at $6.10. Has the ability to take this out.
