Western Fair Raceway Race 11

Race 11

Prize Money: $5,453

JAFAR DU LAC (9) was in the money two runs ago then went well again last time over 1609m at Leamington Raceway, finishing 9 metres from the winner in second. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. MUSIC TO MY GEARS (8) produced a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on October 28. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Primary contender in a similar assignment. OLAF DU LAC (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Flamboro Downs last time out. MR MACH JIMMY (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.75 metres at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: EARLY PLAY (3)
