Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $29,289

AMBUSHED (1) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the class to take this out. HUNTING HULA (2) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved her success last start, scoring by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Leading hope in a similar assignment. ELUSIVE A (4) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 2012m at this track four weeks ago. SWEETNIKKILOU A (5) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on May 29.
