Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5

BETTER B BOLD (1) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 13 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. MATAI PHIL N (5) scored at Tioga Downs two runs ago before having his colours lowered when second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Tioga Downs, beaten 4 metres. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a big race. AMERICAN DEALER N (7) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. ROCKET CITY A (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on June 22.

Last start just missed, solid effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Inflation Proof (1:54.10) in NW7561L5 on June 18 at $2.58. Sure to play a significant role.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Backstreet Shadow at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on June 15 at $19.75. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Escape To America at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on June 22 at $6.39. Plenty to like about his prospects.
