Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5

TOP GUN HANOVER (3) continued the strong recent form when he scored last start over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Primary contender in a similar race. SEVEN LAYER (2) form this prep has been impossible to fault and he made it two from two when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 0.6 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another bold race. EXQUISITE TASTE (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m. GREEN MEL (6) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago.
