Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $34,916

VICIOUS (5) did a good job to finish second two starts ago then recorded an effortless win last start, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating once more. IKNOWBETTER (1) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last five starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and he can add to the impressive recent record. LITTLE WILLY (4) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished third over 1609m at this track last time out. JUST ENUFF STUFF (2) could only finish seventh over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Twisted Destiny at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on May 5 at $4.97. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Rocket City at this track over 1609m in a NW20906L5 on May 12 at $11.27. In fine form. Leading contender.
