Yonkers Raceway Race 1 - Race 1

J B GRAM (2) was responsible for a far better performance last time out when he scored by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field so he can make it two on the bounce. CHECKONWILLIAM (1) turned in an out-of-character effort last start when 35 metres away in seventh over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Primary contender if he brings his A-game. BLACK HAWK JOE A (5) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Sailboat Hanover at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on May 4 at $15.60. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Over The Horizon at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on May 15 at $14.99. Strong winning prospects.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Over The Horizon at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLM on May 15 at $6.25. Performed better the start before with a good run when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Sailboat Hanover (1:55.40) in 15000CLM on May 4 at $4.86. Rates highly. Big chance.

Good run 2.25 metres third behind Minotaur at this track over 1609m 3-6YO20CLM on April 23. Failed to finish behind Dismas on May 2 at this track over 1609m 3-6YO20CLM. Ignore last outing and assess on its third two starts back; Good each-way proposition.
