Yonkers Raceway Race 4 - Race 4

AMERICAN CHEESE (3) turned in a good effort at her latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at Pocono Downs on April 28. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This should be an easier assignment so she is sure to prove tough to beat again. ALWAYS B LAYLA (1) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved her victory last start, scoring by 5 metres over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Won't find this any harder and she can salute once again. SEND IT DOWN SLIM (2) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. BYTHELITEOFTHEMOON (5) is better than her last-start seventh over 1609m at Oak Grove Racing. Something for the Multiples: ALWAYS B LAYLA IR (1) ALWAYSWITHYOU (6)
