Yonkers Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $28,090

TOP GUN HANOVER (3) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by a neck over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Primary contender in a similar assignment. KARINCHAK (5) scored last time out by 4 metres in a solid performance at this track over 1609m. His recent effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. GREEN MEL (2) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. EXQUISITE TASTE (1) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Exquisite Taste at this track over 1609m in a W5BNMT7 on March 4 at $4.76. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Top Gun Hanover at this track over 1609m in a W5BNMT7 on March 11 at $19. Plenty to like about his prospects.
