Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5

TAKES COURAGE (6) has been very consistent of late. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at Batavia Downs, getting home by 2.25 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. HUNT ME DOWN (1) scored a dominant win off the inside draw over 1609m at Batavia Downs last time out. Will enjoy a nice run again from this favourable starting position. Primary contender in this comparable race. TWIN B WILDFIRE (2) is a big chance following a run of three top-three finishes, the latest at Saratoga two-and-a-half weeks ago. Real threat to the top selections. MY BROTHERS KEEPER (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Batavia Downs.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Bacchus Blue Chip at Monticello Raceway over 1609m in a NY EXCEL on July 27 at $2.06. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Bacchus Blue Chip at Saratoga over 1609m in a NY EXCEL on August 4 at $2.99. Definite winning chance.
