Yonkers Raceway Race 4 - Race 4

XPERT (1) scored at Monticello Raceway two runs ago before having his colours lowered when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at Batavia Downs, beaten 24 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. BALEVILLE BOMBER (7) is racing well with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at Batavia Downs over 1609m. Must overcome a very wide draw. Big chance in a similar race. SOUTHPAW (6) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at Batavia Downs eight days ago. MR HUGGINS (4) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at Batavia Downs over 1609m.
