Yonkers Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $30,683

OVERTHINKING (6) was successful last start by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to cope. LYRICAL GENIUS A (1) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fifth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. ZEBS KRAFTY (4) is tough to leave out on the back of two successive wins, most recently at this track a week ago.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 1.5 m (Fr4) at this track (1:53.00) beating Manferno in 40000CLM on June 8 at $24.12. Two runs back 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Manferno (1:52.40) in 40000CLM on June 1 at $12.02. Hard to envisage a win.
