Yonkers Raceway Race 5

Yonkers Pace Ms

Stake: $29,504

MELANION (4) resumes after finishing fourth at his latest appearance at Launceston on March 30. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. SPEED MAN (6) ran second last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 9 metres. Expected to run well. ROCKN PHILLY (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. PURPLE POET (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 6 metres at this track over 1609m.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:54.00) beating Redbank Blaze in NW5000L5 on March 23 2022 at $1.45. Can open the prep with a bold run.
