Yonkers Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $29,457

DANDY'S MERCY (5) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at her last five starts including a second most recently at this track over 1609m. Primary contender in a similar assignment. TWIN DELIGHT (1) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 24 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Fares a lot better at the draw this time and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. MALUKA MISS (4) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished third at this track over 1609m. IDEAL COVER (2) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on August 15.
