Yonkers Raceway Race 3 - Race 3

JON I LOVE DAT (3) finished eighth last start, beaten 50 metres at Plainridge Park over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. MUSIC HALL (1) finished sixth at this track two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 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. OPTICAL ILLUSION N (5) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. ROYAL DESIRE (2) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at this track over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Ameritric at this track over 1609m in a NW5051L5 on June 17 at $36.03. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Optical Illusion at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L5 on June 24 at $2.50. Going nicely and looks a top chance.
