Yonkers Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $40,230

TH COLBY (3) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. CHECKNOUTHETALNT A (2) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. SPECULATING A (1) is right in the mix after finishing runner-up for the second time in a row last start, beaten 5 metres at this track. Ideally placed to go one better. MATAI PHIL N (8) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Twin B Powerball at this track over 1609m in a NW10000L5 on September 16 at $2.12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Wattsup Sunshine at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on September 29 at $12.67. Perfectly placed to win.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Southwind Celsius (1:52.30) in NW15000L5 on September 21 at $18.10. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a nose (Fr1) at this track (1:53.10) beating Rio in NW10001L5 on September 14 at $6.87. One of the key runners.
