Yonkers Raceway Race 4 - Race 4

CASPER THE GHOST (2) showed plenty of fight to salute at the most recent appearance over 1609m at Monticello Raceway, getting home by just 0.9 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance in this comparable race. JOHNNY WIGGLES (5) won at Tioga Downs two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at Monticello Raceway, beaten 8 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can get the job done. KILLING JOKE (1) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Monticello Raceway. RANGER WALKER (4) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at Monticello Raceway over 1609m.
