Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
CURLY JAMES A (2) scored a decisive win last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by 21 metres in an impressive display. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. MACH N CHEESE (3) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. MAXIMUS RED A (1) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Last start 4th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Ever M (1:54.00) in 25000CLM on July 1 at $28.15. At the run before good run when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Ever M (1:54.10) in 25000CLM on June 17 at $7.24. Look for improvement on last start. Not out of it.

Well beaten last start by Foxhunt, a rival who he faces again; when 30 metres sixth at this track over 1609m in a 20000CLM race on June 24. Can't have on that basis.
