Flamboro Downs Race 1

Race 1

Prize Money: $9,279

PIPEWRENCH CHARLIE (3) comes here just three days after finishing second beaten 4 metres over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role again. ONYX BOVINO (1) continued a solid run of recent form when he scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway, getting home by half a metre. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. BELMONT BLAZER (7) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. ARA YOU CRAZY (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.
