Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8

STERLING CHOICE (1) was in a rich vein of form before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by 9 metres over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done again. BET ON BIG JOE (4) was in a rich vein of form before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by 0.9 metres over 1609m at this track. Primary contender in a similar race. CURLY JAMES A (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SOHO DOW JONES A (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 9 metres at this track over 1609m.
