Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
COPPERFIELD (3) impressed when fresh from a spell last start when a commanding winner over 1609m at Meadowlands on March 14, getting home by 4.5 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Stepping up a level this time but he is capable of another big performance. VICIOUS (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Leading hope based on recent form. CURLY JAMES A (5) is one of the main contenders after winning his past two starts, the latest at this track a week ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. JUMPINGJACKMAC N (8) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth behind Sherlock at this track over 1609m in a NW22656L5 on March 16 at $4.05. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Curly James at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on March 23 at $14.63. Heading the right way and is a leading contender.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at Saratoga, well beaten by Rocknroll Runa (1:55.40) in WO/OPENHCP on March 14 at $1.56. Showed ability the run before when he won by 10 m as favourite (Fr5) at Saratoga (1:53.30) beating Rebellious in WO/OPENHCP on March 7 at $1.38. Can bounce back. One of the chances.

Eight-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 3 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.10) beating Vicious in NW30000L5 on March 23 at $1.91. In terrific form and is the one to beat again.
