Yonkers Raceway Race 5

1609M

Stake: $35,484

MIND HUNTER (4) Led all the way when winning by a neck last time at the track. Can't knock the form winning 2 in succession. Should jump out and bowl along. Can get the job done . ORLANDO BLUE A (3) Competed in a tight contest last run at the track. Added confidence driver with Jason Bartlett doing the steering. A win wouldn't surprise. AROUND MIDNIGHT (8) Finished well when winning last time at the track. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 runs. Up to these. LYRICAL GENIUS A (5) Narrowly beaten last time here. Could be value.
