Yonkers Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $72,780

DONEGAL LUTHER N (2) scored by 4 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past four outings. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. CHASE H HANOVER (3) had to call on all reserves to score at the most recent appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by just a neck. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Primary contender in this comparable race. TWISTED DESTINY (5) finished third at this track last time. Consistent performer whose best form stacks up favourably so it must be included. IMA PERFECT CHOICE (1) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.
