Yonkers Raceway Race 1

1609M

Stake: $20,092

ITALIAN DELIGHT N (7) Led and controlled the pace when winning by a margin of a nose last start here. Can't knock the form winning 14 in succession. Should muster plenty of early speed. This field suits. ROCK THIS WAY (5) Threw down a serious challenge last run here. Can go through the gears. Better claims. YOUR BROTHER (2) Close to a win last time around here. Solid place bet prospects. MOTIVE HANOVER (3) Narrowly denied a win last run here. Include in chances
