Yonkers Raceway Race 6 - Race 6
EXQUISITE TASTE (4) had a favourable gate and was too good at this track two runs ago. Drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 15 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Forgive that last effort. Good enough to put herself back in the winners' stall. DIPLOMACY (7) scored at this track three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when fifth over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 5 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. VELOCIRAPTOR (5) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. KAZIO (2) was not a factor last start but will be ready to peak third-up from a spell from a nice draw.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Top Gun Hanover (1:54.30) in JBTS L1 on April 1 at $7.66. Showed ability the race before when she posted a big 4.5 m win (Fr1) at this track (1:56.10) beating Karinchak in W5BNMT8 on March 25 at $4.04. Capable of taking this out.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 5 m by Winnpanzee (1:55.20) in W4-7PM on March 14 at $7.10. At the previous start 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 40 m by Resolve To Win (1:53.10) in WO25000LT on February 28 at $13.90. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.
