Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5

OPTICAL ILLUSION N (2) resumes after finishing sixth at his latest appearance at this track on December 15. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating. JABBAR (1) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Best recent result was a win at this track three starts ago. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can give this a mighty shake. WHITE LOTUS (8) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. NIGHT HAWK (6) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.
