Flamboro Downs Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $6,329

MUSIC TO MY GEARS (4) made it two wins from his last four outings a week ago, getting home by 1.75 metres over 1609m at this track. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. G A SPEED SAMMY (5) scored by 1.75 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past four runs. Big chance in a similar race. DAN SPEED (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. EARLY PLAY (7) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing fourth behind G A Speed Sammy at this track over 1609m in a G on February 5 at $2.05. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second behind Music To My Gears at this track over 1609m in a G on February 12 at $4.55. Can build on that fine effort last start.
