Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $32,078

YOULLFINDOUT (3) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Didn't let supporters down at her latest appearance when she got the job done by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. NILA MAREE N (5) registered another strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to finish third over 1609m at this track. Will benefit from a return to Yonkers Raceway where she is always tough to beat. Tackles a similar assignment and she can grab that well-deserved win. DANDY'S MERCY (6) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at Pocono Downs over 1609m. Hard to find fault. ALWAYS B LAYLA (1) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at Pocono Downs over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 14 m by Gigglingonthebeach (1:50.10) in W4-7PM FM on June 1 at $20.70. Showed ability the race before when she won by 6 m (Fr1) at this track (1:53.40) beating American Cheese in FMW2BNM4PM on May 16 at $2.37. Should be right in the finish.

Four-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 6 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:54.40) beating Crystal Coast in FMW2BNM4PM on June 6 at $1.34. No reason she cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.

Is on a seven-day back-up and has been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Good effort last outing 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Ambushed (1:54.30) in FNW17501L5 on June 5 at $79.17. Can't make much of a case.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Jensville at this track over 1609m in a FNW24721L5 on May 22 at $45.63. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Raspalia at this track over 1609m in a FNW22501L5 on May 29 at $13.68. Well placed to go a couple better.
