Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $30,172

GANDHI (2) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Hoosier Park, beaten 30 metres, after a good second at The Red Mile the run prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. This doesn't look as hard so he is in the right race to return to form. ROUGH DEAL (1) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 30 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Big chance from this favourable draw if he gets the right breaks. ARISTA N (6) last appeared when sixth over 2130m at Gloucester Park three-and-a-half months ago. Look out for any positive market movement. WINNINGMACHINE (3) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Strikem (1:53.30) in HGW2BN4PM on October 6 at $61.44. The run before 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at Tioga Downs, beaten 65 m by Aries Blue Chip (1:50.10) in NY EXCEL on September 19 at $44.17. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Sweet Joel (1:54.30) in CHGNW3PM on September 29 at $16.13. Before that 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 18 m by Lyons Gustavofring (1:55.30) in HGW2BN4PM on September 15 at $23.75. Looks one of the also-rans.
