Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
ELUSIVE A (2) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 30 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this better draw. Finds a nice race and can make amends. SPIRIT OF PEARL A (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 7 metres at this track over 1609m. NILA MAREE N (1) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Silk Cloud (1:52.20) in FNW20000L5 on August 7 at $72.46. At the previous start 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Sheer Artistry (1:53.20) in FNW20000L5 on July 24 at $10.92. Watch for a far better effort this time.
