Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
DIGGING FOR GOLD (6) made it two wins from his last five runs eight days ago, getting home by 7 metres over 1609m at Batavia Downs. Won't find this any harder and he can salute once again. IMA PERFECT CHOICE (1) finished second last start over 1609m at Batavia Downs, beaten 7 metres, after a good win at Monticello Raceway the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. FORWARD FLASH (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. INVICTUS (7) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish second over 1609m at Monticello Raceway.
