Yonkers Raceway Race 3 - Race 3
DIEGO N (1) scored by 5 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past four appearances. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field so he can keep the ball rolling. BLAZING HOME N (6) made it two on the trot last start when he got the cash by 1.5 metres over 1609m at Saratoga. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. AYE AYE CAPTAIN N (4) scored last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role again. WHICHWAYTOTHEBEACH (2) is tough to leave out on the back of two successive wins, most recently at this track a week ago.

Last start won by 5 m (Fr8) at this track (1:53.30) beating Soho Dow Jones in NW30000L5 on February 9 at $4.17. No reason he cannot get the job done again.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 3 m (Fr7) at this track (1:54.40) beating Matai Phil in NW20000L5 on February 16 at $5.23. Hard to leave out on current form. Must be considered.

Six-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Saratoga both over 1609m. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr7) at Saratoga (1:54.10) beating Vanderbilt in WO/OPENHCP on February 14 at $2.43. Going very well and deserves top billing.
