Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
MISTY BLUE (4) finished second last start over 1609m at The Meadows, beaten 5 metres, after a good win at Philadelphia the run prior. Certainly cannot be faulted after that last effort. Good enough to take out a race like this. DOLLAR DRAFT (2) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. ROYAL CAPTAIN (1) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Apex Tracker at this track over 1609m in a W2BNMT4 on September 23 at $1.99. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Bitofthebubbly at this track over 1609m in a W2BNMT4 on October 7 at $2.16. Chief contender.
