1609M

Prize Money: $5,797

DR'S YANKEES (3) Really dug deep when winning last run at this track and getting better in recent performances. Must be considered. STATEMENT (5) Was competitive when 3rd last time here. Should race on the speed. Gregory Merton is a smart booking. Winnable race. MIGHTY MR SHARKEY N (7) Finished 4th last start here. May see an upturn in form. Should muster plenty of early speed. In top racing shape since resuming from a spell. Underrated. WALK IT TALK IT (8) Game effort to win narrowly last time at this venue. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 attempts. Has the ability to figure.
