Yonkers Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Stake: $49,542

CHERYLS SHADOW (4) recorded another strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and she can take care of this line-up. FACTORY GIRL (3) was in the money two runs ago then was about the mark again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 6 metres from the winner in third. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This is a nice drop in grade so she is a major player. KISS MY CHEEK (1) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. DRAGONS LUCKY LADY (5) is worth some thought despite her last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on July 18.
