Yonkers Raceway Race 6 - Race 6
CURLY JAMES A (1) added to his recent string of strong performances last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up so he can add to the sound recent efforts. GDS THUNDER (4) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. BET ON BIG JOE (2) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 4 m by Whats Stanley Got (1:54.20) in NW20000L5 on March 2 at $4.05. Before that 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 0.6 m by Aye Aye Captain (1:54.30) in NW20000L5 on February 16 at $7.80. Happy to risk.
