Yonkers Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Prize Money: $30,899

LYONS BENJAMIN (1) has been racing well of late. Finished fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. JETT STAR N (3) produced a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on March 23. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another big race. ROLLING WITH SAM (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. BE DAZZLED LOU A (6) must be included after winning his past three starts, the latest at this track two weeks ago.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth behind Speaker Of Peace at this track over 1609m in a NW10241L5 on March 16 at $6.78. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Jett Star at this track over 1609m in a 40000CLM on March 23 at $5.16. Capable of taking this out.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 23 m by Arden Messi (1:52.00) in NW9500L5 on March 21 at $12.40. Before that 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 11 m by Beach Town Boy (1:53.40) in NW12500L5 on March 14 at $50.80. Finds a few better. Can't recommend.
