Yonkers Raceway Race 3 - Race 3
ITS A ME MARIO (3) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Tioga Downs, finishing third and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. SOUTHWIND CELSIUS (1) scored a dominant win off the inside draw at this course and distance last start. A nice draw again on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. MISSED THE TRUTH A (2) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at Plainridge Park. BELL'S DAVID (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m.
