Flamboro Downs Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $6,550

ALWAYS B SWEETEST (3) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 10 metres into sixth at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this better draw. Has the ability to take this out. PAPIAMENTO (1) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last five starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. His recent form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. OUTLAWGRANDETORINO (4) should be ready to peak now after finishing second over 1609m at this track a week ago. Expect him to give this a real shake. LIVIN LARGE (5) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this track over 1609m.
