Flamboro Downs Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $10,371

CHARLIES WISH (2) was out of the money two runs back at this track then improved sharply last start to score by a head over 1609m at the same circuit. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope in a similar race. PURELY WICKED (3) produced a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. ARTHUR IDLAM (1) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago. BRIGHTSIDE MASEO (7) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track.
