Yonkers Raceway Race 1 - Race 1
HANDSOME STRANGER (6) resumes after finishing fifth at his latest appearance at Cumberland Run on October 27. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. THE FAMILY MAN (5) has been racing well of late. Finished fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. BETTOR'S DESIRE (4) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. CHARLIES WISH (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Forward Flash at this track over 1609m in a HGW1BN4PM on March 31 at $21.25. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Telitonthemountain at this track over 1609m in a HGW1BN4PM on April 7 at $6.23. Hard to fault on current form.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Telitonthemountain (1:56.30) in HGW1BN4PM on April 7 at $6.04. The run before 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Forward Flash (1:52.40) in HGW1BN4PM on March 31 at $14.04. Can turn things around in this suitable contest.

Three-year-old colt who is racing well. Solid first up, won by 5 m as favourite (Fr6) at Meadowlands (1:52.30) beating Tricky Captain in TM<74.5CD on April 4 at $2.10. Keep him in mind.
