Yonkers Raceway Race 7 - Race 7
THENU CAME ALONG A (5) turned in a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on October 5. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. BANDERAS (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. PINNY TIGER A (6) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished second over 1609m at this track last time out. ESCAPE TO AMERICA (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at Pocono Downs over 1609m.
