Yonkers Raceway Race 4 - Race 4
NILA MAREE N (1) made a winning return at her latest appearance two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 5 metres over 1609m at Meadowlands. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a similar line up so she can keep the ball rolling. ALWAYSBPUFFING IR (5) is a five-year-old mare from the Ron Burke yard on debut. Makes plenty of appeal. NOT THAT HILLARY (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Meadowlands over 1609m. Genuine threat. ALWAYS B LAYLA (3) good effort on debut last start, finishing third over 1609m at Dayton Raceway. Has plenty of scope for improvement. Something for the Multiples: ALWAYS B LAYLA IR (3)

Resumed from a 118-day break with a strong win a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr2) at Meadowlands (1:53.40) beating Youllfindout in FM5U NW2CD on January 2 at $1.20. No reason she won't salute again with the aid of an inside draw.

Five-year-old mare facing the starter for the second time. At debut game effort when 3rd (Fr8) over 1609m at Dayton Raceway beaten 5 m by Captain Crujido (1:55.10) in NW2PM on December 22 at $19.30. Sure to be about the money again.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Win With Lynnly at this track over 1609m in a FMW2BNM5PM on December 17 at $30.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Illustriousarden at Meadowlands over 1609m on January 2 at $3.90. Should be right in the finish.

Five-year-old mare by Always B Miki out of Hufflepuff on debut. Showed ability when second at Meadowlands in a trial on January 10 over 1609m. Profiles nicely but betting will hold the key.
