Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $65,505

WALKIN ON SUNSHINE (8) added to the impressive sequence of wins last start when she scored by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and she can salute once again. SILK CLOUD (1) has been on the money a lot of late and went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and 2.25 metres from the winner. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. SEASIDE DIVA (5) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back. FRONT PAGE STORY (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m.
