Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $43,668

PIERRE IN PARIS (1) won at Dover Downs two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance if he is at his best. GREEN MEL (2) produced another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. ALWAYS A STORY (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.6 metres at this track over 1609m. COMMODUS A (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Exquisite Taste at this track over 1609m in a W5BNMT8 on March 25 at $4.38. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Top Gun Hanover at this track over 1609m in a JBTS L1 on April 1 at $5.17. Plenty to like about his prospects.
