Yonkers Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $72,780

DONEGAL LUTHER N (3) is a talented gelding who has put together two wins and two minor placings from four starts this campaign. Produced another fine effort last start when he finished third over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. REDWOOD HANOVER (5) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Certainly cannot be faulted after that last effort. Good enough to take out a race like this. SOHO FIRESTONE A (2) should be ready to peak now after finishing third over 1609m at this track a week ago. Expect him to give this a real shake. SWEET BEACH LIFE (6) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound second at this track over 1609m.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Mossdale Ben (1:52.10) in BORG #4 on April 20 at $54.48. Before that 7th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Mossdale Ben (1:50.10) in BORG #3 on April 13 at $36.53. Hard to make a case on recent form.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Coaches Corner at this track over 1609m in a BORG #3 on April 13 at $4.63. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Captain Albano at this track over 1609m in a BORG #4 on April 20 at $13.04. Chief contender.

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 3 m by Mossdale Ben (1:52.10) in BORG #4 on April 20 at $4.64. Two runs back won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:52.20) beating Ima Perfect Choice in BORG #2 on April 6 at $1.38. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Captain Albano at this track over 1609m BORG #4 last start. Before that was beaten a neck second again at this track in BORG #3 on April 13. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
