Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
DANDY'S MERCY (3) has been a bit hot and cold and that continued last start when she finished second, beaten 3 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Has the talent to take this out. ACUSHLA MACHREE N (8) is in good form at present. Finished second at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Must overcome a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. CHANCEOFLIGHTNING (6) is one of the main contenders after winning her past three starts, the latest at this track two weeks ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. LUCKY ARTIST A (1) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at this track.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by a 0.9 m (Fr1) at this track (1:54.30) beating Im Offngone in FNW11451L5 on April 17 at $2.92. Hard to leave out on current form. Sure to give backers a sight.

Five-year-old mare (He's Watching - Diamond Castle) making her debut. Finished second in a trial on April 17 at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m. A bit of a push for her in early discussions is worth noting.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Chanceoflightning at this track over 1609m in a FNW10751L5 on April 10 at $42.83. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Lucky Artist at this track over 1609m in a FNW11451L5 on April 17 at $6.73. Plenty to like about her prospects.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Jensville (1:53.20) in FNW21484L5 on April 17 at $23.08. Before that 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Coastal Babe (1:52.30) in UM #2 on April 3 at $43.50. May find this too tough.
