Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
SOUTHWIND IRON (6) made it two on the trot last start when he got the cash by 10 metres over 1609m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. CATCHING UP (2) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished third at this track over 1609m. DARKNSTORMY DEO (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 10 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:54.40) beating Chesterman in 15000CLM on November 4 at $1.33. Recent form hard to fault.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Alien Power at this track over 1609m in a 3-6YO30CLM on October 21 at $40.57. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Over The Horizon at this track over 1609m in a 3-7YO20CLM on November 5 at $4.77. Capable of testing this line-up.
