Yonkers Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Stake: $32,108

DANDY'S MERCY (3) has been racing well of late. Finished second at her latest appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 5 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to test this field. KATIES UP (4) finished fifth last start, beaten 8 metres at this track over 1609m. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. HUNTING HULA (1) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished third at this track over 1609m. MALUKA MISS (2) is a chance after finishing in the money for the second time in a row last start, beaten 5 metres into second at this track.
