Yonkers Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $70,225

COACHES CORNER (6) is back today after a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Closed the last preparation in great style with a win by 7 metres over 2012m at this track. Sure to be ready to run well. CAPTAIN MOORE A (2) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his success last time out, scoring by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another big race. HOWLENTHEHILLS (3) is back from a spell and is a winner at this stage of the prep in the past. Best form measures up favourably so despite the layoff he poses a real threat. ARODA N (1) is taking on a far easier race this time after finishing eighth in a Group One at his latest appearance over 2680m at Albion Park, beaten 23 metres by Don Hugo. Should enjoy a lovely run and will prove hard to beat.

Before that 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 4 m by Sandbetweenmytoes (1:51.10) in NW17500L5 on March 7 at $5.10. Needs to do more. Others better.
