Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $36,390

NILA MAREE N (2) is on fire this campaign and has been in the top-three at all six appearances. Good effort last time when successful over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meeting a deeper field this time but she good enough to play a major role. MISS PERIGNON N (1) made it two wins from her last five outings two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 4.5 metres over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Stepping up a level this time but she is good enough to take this out. SHEER ARTISTRY N (5) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at Pocono Downs. No reason the run cannot continue. SWEET HAYLEY JANE A (4) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at Pocono Downs last time out.

Hard to fault of late. Last start by 4.5 m (Fr5) at this track (1:56.10) beating Onederfulbeach in FM50000CLM on March 17 at $3.56. No reason she cannot get the job done again.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Louies Girl at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a M NW7500PS on March 16 at $43.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Sheer Artistry at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a MNW12500L5 on March 23 at $1.90. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr3) at Saratoga (1:55.00) beating Laurie Lee in MWO/OPNHCP on March 29 at $1.61. Two runs back 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 8 m by Walkin On Sunshine (1:53.20) in FNW20000L5 on March 20 at $10.83. This appears outside her grasp.

Last start 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck by Rocket Deo (1:54.00) in FM INV on March 20 at $7.19. Two runs back 4th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Sheer Artistry (1:54.20) in FNW20000L5 on March 13 at $4.55. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.
