Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $29,957

PAPI'S OPINION (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and she can take this out. HAY BETH (4) finished fifth last start, beaten 19 metres at this track over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. MARTINI STAR (1) is better than her last-start seventh over 1609m at this track. MIDNIGHT LACE (2) is a chance after finishing in the money for the second time in a row last start, beaten 12 metres into third at this track.

Didn't do much last time out, 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 22 m by Goldeen (1:55.00) in FMNW2PM on August 8 at $49.45. Before that 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 17 m by Napalm (1:52.40) in FMNW3PM on July 31 at $30.10. Better off avoiding.
