Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
SEVEN LAYER (5) resumes here after closing his last prep with a sixth at this track on November 19. Has ability and should be right in the finish. CIVILIAN DRONE (4) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago. ROTHKO (1) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Won three starts back at Saratoga over 1609m WO2-5PMCD on February 3. Last time out 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 4 m by Entertain Me (1:59.10) in W2BNMT4 on February 18 at $7.31. Look for improvement on last start. Not out of it.

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 m by Entertain Me (1:59.10) in W2BNMT4 on February 18 at $4.64. Two runs back posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr1) at Saratoga (1:58.00) beating Marcello Hanover in NW2PMCD on February 10 at $1.70. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by Entertain Me (1:59.10) in W2BNMT4 on February 18 at $2.59. At the run before solid effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Zenmeister (1:58.00) in W2BNMT4 on February 11 at $7.39. About the mark of late so worth some thought.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Zenmeister at this track over 1609m in a W2BNMT4 on February 11 at $3.84. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Entertain Me at this track over 1609m in a W2BNMT4 on February 18 at $3.81. Capable of taking this out.
