Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Stake: $84,863

ROCKET DEO (6) has been in outstanding form of late and kept it up last time out with a strong win at Philadelphia over 1609m. Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field. FRONT PAGE STORY (3) made it two wins from her last four appearances eight days ago, getting home by a neck over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. It doesn't get any easier but she is capable of another big performance. STAYINGWITHTHEWIND (5) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. SILK CLOUD (7) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at this track over 1609m.
