Yonkers Raceway Race 7

1609M

Prize Money: $43,548

ROCK DIAMONDS N (3) Was agonizingly close last time around here. Likely to be well placed early. Going well this preparation. Joe Bongiorno has a high strike rate on board. Can give this a shake. BACKSTREET SHADOW (5) Narrowly denied a win last run at the track. Happy to forgive that run. Matthew Kakaley has been successful aboard previously. Suitably placed in this race. CUT N RUN N (1) Ran on hard when winning last time at this track and drawn beautifully. Showing great form since resuming from a spell and promising career start. Getting better in recent performances. Appears well in this. CHURCHVIEWFRANKL IR (6) Looked outclassed when 5th last start around here. Giving another chance here. Has a nice turn of foot. Not out of this.
