Yonkers Raceway Race 1 - Race 1
ODDS ON CAPITALISM (1) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Finds a nice race and can return to winning form. KOPI LUWAK (3) won at this track two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. BRUTALLYHANDSOME A (2) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track a week ago. BET ON BIG JOE (6) cannot be left out after registering a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at this track a week ago.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Just Enuff Stuff at this track over 1609m in a 50000CLM on April 13 at $3.72. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Brutallyhandsome at this track over 1609m in a 50000CLM on April 27 at $9.81. Rates highly. Big chance.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m second behind Little Willy at this track over 1609m 50000CLM last start. Before that was beaten 0.6 metres second again at this track in NW11821L5 on April 27. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
