Yonkers Raceway Race 6 - Race 6

DANDY IDEAL (1) has recorded three wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Didn't let supporters down at his latest appearance when he got the job done by 1.5 metres over 1609m at Batavia Downs. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. THIRSTY THURSDAY (5) turned in a strong effort last time over 1609m at Batavia Downs, finishing 20 metres from the winner in third, continuing his strong recent efforts. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. SILKY CHOICE (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 20 metres at Batavia Downs over 1609m. COURTS ON FIRE (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at Batavia Downs over 1609m.
