Yonkers Raceway Race 4 - Race 4

OPTICAL ILLUSION (1) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 4 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this better draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can turn in a much better performance. DEALERS TURN (2) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at this track the run before. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and he can find winning ways. ROLLING WITH SAM (4) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. ALBERT ALPHA (3) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at Mohawk Park last time out.
