Western Fair Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $6,857

MAJOR HILL (9) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 7 metres into sixth at Flamboro Downs over 1609m. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat. JIMSUN (3) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his win last start, scoring by half a metre over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. ALL THE CHEDDAR (1) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at this track over 1609m. WOODMERE DENVER (8) is worth some thought based on his third over 1609m at this track two runs ago. Something for the Multiples: SPRINGBRIDGE JIM (4)

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing fourth behind All Bets On Red at this track over 1609m in a G on January 13 at $9. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Dj Mustang at this track over 1609m in a G on January 21 at $16.85. In the mix from the inside draw.
