Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $13,348

BETTERNOTMACHME (5) produced another strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to finish second over 1609m at this track. Big chance based on those recent efforts. KIERA SEELSTER (1) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back to winning form. ALWAYS B MERRY (4) must be considered after she finished third over 1609m at Georgian Downs six days ago. GIMMIE A CORONA (6) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing seventh behind Ms Quick Sand at this track over 1609m in a FM on August 22 at $25.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Yoda Queen at this track over 1609m in a FM on August 29 at $14.85. Nice effort last time.
