Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $29,549

HABANERO BLUES (2) was successful last start by 1.5 metres in a break through win this campaign at Monticello Raceway over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Big chance in a similar race. MICHELON'S TITAN (1) filled a minor placing at Saratoga two runs ago before finishing second at her latest appearance over 1609m at Tioga Downs, beaten 3 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. GILLYS DE VIE (7) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. HIPPIE SHAKE (3) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back.
