Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $39,943

RECKLESS ABANDON (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Big chance based on recent form. DANDY'S MERCY (4) was in the money at this track two runs ago before having her colours lowered at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 metres. Leading hope if anywhere near her best. OAKLEY SHARD N (5) is on the radar after her last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago. LA MIKI N (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 3 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m.
