Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $26,536

COALFORD TOPGUY GB (4) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. His recent form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. MAC'S MARVEL (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Big chance based on recent form. VENTURESOME ARDEN N (2) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m. HEZA RISK TAKER A (1) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. Something for the Multiples: STELLAR YANKEE (7)

Last start 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Hammering Hank (1:53.20) in NW10971L5 on May 4 at $59.96. Two runs back 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Soho Dow Jones (1:53.20) in NW11991L5 on April 21 at $41.42. Might find this too tough.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Odds On Capitalism at this track over 1609m in a NW15868L5 on April 20 at $15.55. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Hammering Hank at this track over 1609m in a NW10971L5 on May 4 at $3.14. One of the key runners.

Eight-year-old gelding Is on a seven-day back-up and has been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Rydingtothewire (1:53.20) in NW10000L5 on May 4 at $17.15. Rough place hope at the very best.
