Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $23,876

RASPALIA N (2) is yet to have her colours lowered in four runs this campaign, most recently getting home by 4.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Primary contender in this comparable race. SEND IT DOWN SLIM (7) is racing well with 11 top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 1609m. Must overcome a very wide draw. Recent efforts are good enough to take out a race like this. PLEASE BE YOU (3) must be considered after she finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago. OBSESSED WITH LOU (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.10) beating Nila Maree in FMW2BNM5PM on March 11 at $1.82. Two runs back won by 5 m as favourite (Fr7) at Pocono Downs (1:52.20) beating Loot in W4-6PM FM on March 2 at $1.80. Strong winning hope.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back posted a big 4.5 m win (Fr3) at this track (1:56.00) beating Always B Layla in FMW2BNM4PM on March 11 at $4.91. Last start just missed, solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Nila Maree (1:54.20) in FMW2BNM4PM on March 18 at $7.67. Hard to roll on current form.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following March 11 run. Last start posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:56.40) beating Obsessed With Lou in FMNW2PM on March 18 at $1.34. This race will be harder than that win. Others look better chances.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Raspalia at this track over 1609m in a FMW2BNM5PM on March 11 at $9.33. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Nila Maree at this track over 1609m in a FMW2BNM4PM on March 18 at $18.17. Plenty to like about her prospects.
