Yonkers Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $54,469

LOU HILL (5) had been racing in fine form then went close again last time over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway, finishing second and just 0.9 metres from the winner. Finds a nice race and can grab another win. SOHO FIRESTONE A (4) finished seventh at this track two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 2012m at this track, beaten 13 metres. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. DONEGAL LUTHER N (6) disappointed last time when eighth over 2012m at this track. Can bounce back. AYE AYE CAPTAIN N (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 2012m at this track.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Coaches Corner at this track over 1609m in a BORG #5 on April 27 at $21.80. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Sweet Beach Life at this track over 2012m in a BORG C on May 8 at $4.09. This race appears well within his grasp.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 6th (Fr2) over 2012m at this track, beaten 13 m by Captain Albano (2:21.40) in BORG F-G2 on May 8 at $46.05. At the previous start 7th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 21 m by Donegal Luther (1:52.00) in BORG #5 on April 27 at $3.87. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway beaten 0.9 m by Prince Hal Hanover (1:50.10) in PACEY-G3 on May 2 at $14.50. Two runs back posted a big 10 m win as favourite (Fr5) at Pocono Downs (1:51.00) beating Backstreet Shadow in WO25000LT on April 25 at $2. Going nicely and looks a top chance.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr3) over 2012m at this track beaten 40 m by Captain Albano (2:21.40) in BORG F-G2 on May 8 at $7.92. Showed ability the race before when he won by a 0.9 m (Fr3) at this track (1:52.00) beating Redwood Hanover in BORG #5 on April 27 at $3.20. Should be right in the finish.
