Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
BRAVE BY DESIGN (2) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Monticello Raceway, finishing second and just 0.6 metres from the winner. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he good enough to play a major role. KILIMANJARO (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Monticello Raceway over 1609m. Genuine threat. BIG CHARLIE MORAN (1) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at Monticello Raceway last time out.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Doo Wop Kid at Monticello Raceway over 1609m in a NAADA S L5 on April 15 at $23.89. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Empire Builder at Monticello Raceway over 1609m in a NAADA S L6 on April 22 at $23.16. Plenty to like about his prospects.
