Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
DRAMAS A (6) finished fourth last start, beaten 9 metres at this track over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. SWEET JOEL (3) was responsible for a far better performance last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. His recent form is good enough to put him right in the finish. WHISKEY VENOM (2) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. ALL INITTOWINIT (1) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at Philadelphia over 1609m.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Alabama Lucky (1:54.30) in CHGNW3PM on June 2 at $23.21. The run prior 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 35 m by Barrow (1:50.40) in TSS-3YOCGP on May 24 at $64.50. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.
