Yonkers Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $32,110

IMA PERFECT CHOICE (7) made it two in a row last start when he got the cash by 6 metres over 1609m at Saratoga. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player. IKNOWBETTER (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m. THIS IS THE PLAN (4) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back. Something for the Multiples: SWEETHOMEALABAMA N (8)
