Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
FORWARD FLASH (3) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 18 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Drawn to advantage on this occasion and is good enough to put himself right in the finish. LAFITTE (5) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1609m at this track. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. BIG EGO (2) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. BETTOR'S DESIRE (4) should be at his peak at the fourth run back from a spell, the latest outing a second at Pocono Downs two weeks ago.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Stay Focused (1:55.20) in HGW2BN4PM on March 17 at $9.45. The start before 8th (Fr10) over 1609m at Meadowlands beaten 35 m by Laser Speed (1:49.40) in 6U W1-NW5 on March 7 at $12.20. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Shining Moment at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a NW4PM CG on March 2 at $3.70. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Lazarus Star at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a NW4PM CG on March 9 at $7.60. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
