Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
SWEET BEACH LIFE (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at Mohawk Park. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the class to take this out. CHIMICHURRI (5) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Plainridge Park, beaten 11 metres, after a good third at Pocono Downs the run prior. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. ROCKIN JUKEBOX (2) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track. SPEAKER OF PEACE (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m.
