Yonkers Raceway Race 3 - Race 3
HANDSOME STRANGER (5) was 0.9 metres away in second at this track over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. Leading hope in a similar assignment. ALABAMA LUCKY (1) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 12 metres. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. LASER SPEED (8) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago. BETTOR'S DESIRE (6) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Sounds So Sweet at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a NW1PM CG on March 24 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Obliterate at Philadelphia over 1609m in a CGNW1PM on April 12 at $18.10. Definite winning chance.

Three-year-old colt by Courtly Choice out of Fanticipation on debut. Finished fourth at Yonkers Raceway in a trial on April 10 over 1609m. Betting will prove to be the best pointer
