Yonkers Raceway Race 3 - Race 3
SOUTHWIND PETYR (4) was once again right in the mix last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. MANFERNO (7) scored two runs back then registered a commanding win last start, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Won't find this any harder and he can get the prize again. OURMATEMENKO N (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 6 metres at this track over 1609m. ESCAPE TO AMERICA (3) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start by 6 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:55.20) beating Pyro in NW5000L5 on April 2 at $1.47. No surprise if he made it two on the trot.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 0.9 m by Frisco Bay (1:53.10) in NW10000L5 on April 6 at $25.23. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fifth behind Hemsworth at this track over 1609m in a NW15001L5 on March 16 at $19.04. This is likely to prove too tough.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth behind Overthinking at this track over 1609m in a 30000CLM on March 25 at $31.19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Quote Me Not at this track over 1609m in a 25000CLM on April 1 at $7.99. Capable of testing this line-up.

Last start 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 21 m by Jackson Cooper (1:49.40) in W4-7PMÂ CG on April 4 at $16.90. Two runs back won by 3 m (Fr4) at Pocono Downs (1:53.00) beating Soho Spectre in NW6500L5 on March 28 at $2.40. Happy enough to avoid.

Six-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:54.10) beating Intimidation in NW7500L5 on April 7 at $1.89. Going very well and deserves top billing.
