Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $28,531

TOP GUN HANOVER (1) continued the strong recent form when he scored last start over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. GREEN MEL (4) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 15 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to take out a race like this. YOU GUESSED IT (3) finished third last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. MONI MAN (2) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth when resuming over 1609m at Meadowlands on February 6.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fifth behind Exquisite Taste at this track over 1609m in a W5BNMT7 on February 4 at $11.82. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Exquisite Taste at this track over 1609m in a W5BNMT7 on February 11 at $6.46. Should be right in the finish.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by The Brodster (1:58.30) in NW15000L5 on February 6 at $41.13. Showed ability the run before when he won by a neck as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:58.40) beating Ma Isabelle in NW15000L5 on January 30 at $2.62. One of the key runners.
