Yonkers Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Stake: $35,488

EASY TO PLEASE (2) put the writing on the wall two runs ago then improved further last start when she scored by 5 metres over 1609m at Saratoga. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. HUNTING HULA (3) won two back at this track from a nice gate. Drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 9 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Leading hope if she is at her best. IDEAL COVER (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. VIBRANCE (1) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her score over 1609m at Pocono Downs.
