Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
AMERITRIC (4) has been racing well of late. Finished fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 metres. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. OPTICAL ILLUSION N (2) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 30 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. From this far better draw can take care of this field. JAHAN HANOVER (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. GDS THUNDER (3) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Monticello Raceway.
