Yonkers Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $26,499

INFLATION PROOF (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.25 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another bold race. THE FAMILY MAN (1) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. TASTE OF HONEY (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 8 metres at this track over 1609m. NAMASTE HANOVER (2) cannot be left out after recording a sequence of four top-three finishes, the latest at this track eight days ago.

Solid run when a close second behind Camouflage Money at this track over 1609m in a NW5181L5 on June 6 at $2.03. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Taste Of Honey at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L5 on June 10 at $3.53. Looks the testing material.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Wedlock Blue Chip at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW5000L5 on May 29 at $2.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Itza Dangerzone at this track over 1609m in a NW6036L5 on June 10 at $8.24. Sure to play a big role.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Caviart Camden at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a NW3900L5 on June 6 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Itza Dangerzone at this track over 1609m in a NW6036L5 on June 10 at $7.83. This race appears well within his grasp.

Last start 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Itza Dangerzone (1:53.40) in NW6036L5 on June 10 at $3.19. Two runs back 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 7 m by Jett Star (1:54.10) in NW7841L5 on June 2 at $35.57. Might find this lot a bit smart.
