Yonkers Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $27,894

OVERTHINKING (6) finished fifth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 16 metres. Best recent result was a win at this track three starts ago over 1609m. Won't find this any harder and he can give this a mighty shake. WAVEMAKER (3) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 24 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Won't find this any harder and from this more favourable draw he can feature in the finish. THONG CONTROL (1) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. JK STEVES SPIRIT (4) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at Ocean Downs.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr1) at Ocean Downs (1:55.20) beating Tomorrow Me in WO2/4 on June 14 at $1.20. Hard to leave out on current form. Sure to give backers a sight.
