Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $23,543

FRANCO SANTANA (6) is in tremendous form with wins at his last three starts, most recently when he was too good over this track and distance a week ago. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the impressive tally. D A LOVE BOAT (2) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 6 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this more favourable starting position. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. GRIN AND WIN (5) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished second at Hiawatha over 1609m. CAPTAIN HURLEY (3) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.
