Western Fair Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $8,179

ODDS ON CARMEL (4) was yet again about the mark last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck. Meets a comparable field so he can go one better this time around. IT TAKES TWO (6) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 3 metres from the winner. Won't find this any harder and he can bounce back to winning ways. COME ON ARTIE (3) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back. DONT POKE THE BEAR (7) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.
