Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
HEZA CHARTTOPPER A (7) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 25 metres into seventh at this track over 2012m. Must overcome another very wide draw. This doesn't look as hard so he is in the right race to return to form. BONDI LOCKDOWN A (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. HEMSWORTH N (5) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. Something for the Multiples: HIMSELF N (6)

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Catalpa Rescue (1:52.20) in NW15001L5 on May 11 at $30.47. Showed ability the race before when he won by a 0.6 m (Fr5) at this track (1:54.10) beating Bet On Big Joe in NW11821L5 on April 27 at $9.99. Sure to be about the money.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fifth behind Jabbar at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on April 28 at $4.85. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Catalpa Rescue at this track over 1609m in a NW15001L5 on May 11 at $9.83. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr6) over 2012m at this track beaten 25 m by Sweet Beach Life (2:21.40) in BORG C on May 8 at $12.96. The run prior 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Donegal Luther (1:52.00) in BORG #5 on April 27 at $49.71. Anticipating a much better performance this time.
