Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
MAD RIVER (2) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 35 metres into seventh at Meadowlands over 1609m. Must raise the bar but from a far better starting position a big run is on the cards. VEGAS STRIP N (1) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. STONEBRIDGE WIZARD (5) could only finish seventh over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Mysweetboymax (1:53.10) in NW5000L5 on May 19 at $25.29. The run previous 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 15 m by Gentle Giant (1:51.00) in NW3600L5 on April 27 at $19.10. Expecting better things this time around.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 35 m by Best Chip (1:49.10) on May 16 at $162.40. At the previous start 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 35 m by Downbythewater (1:49.00) in NW7500L5CD on May 2 at $72.20. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.
