Prize Money: $5,784

REMEMBERTHECUSTARD (8) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 13 metres into seventh at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat. ALWAYS B SWEETEST (7) finished eighth last start, beaten 16 metres at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Expect him to be prominent. DRAGONS BETTER (6) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at Mohawk Park eight days ago. WOODMERE DENVER (3) must be respected after scoring last start by 9 metres at Flamboro Downs over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: OLD BUCK (4)
