Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $29,330

FACTORY GIRL (1) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Philadelphia, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. SWEETNIKKILOU A (2) scored at the first run back from a break last start over 1609m at Philadelphia on May 22, finishing 1.5 metres ahead of her rivals. Has the benefit of a good draw. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she good enough to play a major role. CHANCEOFLIGHTNING (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. LUCKY ARTIST A (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 1.5 m by Sweetnikkilou (1:50.20) in MNW15000L5 on May 22 at $3.50. Two runs back won by a 0.8 m as favourite (Fr4) at Philadelphia (1:51.10) beating Neil's Diamond in MNW10000L5 on May 15 at $1.50. Leading contender and the inside draw helps.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Front Page Story at this track over 1609m in a FNW25551L5 on May 15 at $45.35. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Jensville at this track over 1609m in a FNW24721L5 on May 22 at $12.56. Definite winning chance.
