Yonkers Raceway Race 1 - Race 1
THE LAST CHAPTER (5) finished fifth last start, beaten 22 metres at Monticello Raceway over 1609m. Expecting a very good run. STAR HAIRDRESSER (2) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. HALOA (6) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on January 22. Something for the Multiples: SOUTHWIND MAC (4)

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at Monticello Raceway, beaten 22 m by Doo Wop Kid (1:58.40) in OPEN on January 28 at $23.41. The start before 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at Monticello Raceway, well beaten by Ackles Hanover (1:58.20) in OPEN ONE on January 14 at $5.07. Expecting a spike in form this time.
