Yonkers Raceway Race 1 - Race 1
BRAVE BY DESIGN (3) finished second at Monticello Raceway two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Won't find this any harder and he can give this a mighty shake. KILIMANJARO (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. PAPA JOE LOZITO (1) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago. SHOEMAKER HANOVER (4) last appeared when fifth over 1609m at this track 11 months ago. Must be respected.
