Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
CHERYLS SHADOW (3) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 4 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a nice race and will be a major force. PRESSURE COOKER (1) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 12 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Drawn to advantage on this occasion and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. SHEZ THE REASON A (4) is open to further improvement at the third run back from a spell after saluting last time out over 1609m at this track. Likely to be around the mark again. HUNTING HULA (2) is capable of better after finishing well back when resuming over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Six-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track and Meadowlands both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:56.40) beating Bonitas Best Bet in FMNW7500L5 on February 20 at $1.53. In terrific form and is the one to beat again.

Seven-year-old mare showed improvement last start. 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 5 m by Jordanna Hanover (1:52.30) in FMNW5000CD on February 27 at $4.90. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh behind Shez The Reason at this track over 1609m in a FMNW7500L5 on February 20 at $52.64. Facing a more difficult task this time.
