Flamboro Downs Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $5,802

THE DARK PANTHER (2) has been hard to fault recently. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by a neck. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance based on those recent efforts. PAPIAMENTO (5) finished third at Mohawk Park two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.75 metres. Big chance if anywhere near his best. VICIOUS ALOICIOUS (6) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. SEES THE BAY (1) is worth some thought based on his second over 1609m at this track two runs ago.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a neck at this track (2:) beating Some Might Say in G on February 5 at $4.55 at the bell was 2nd-. No reason he cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 5 m at Western Fair Raceway (2:00.20) beating Jafar Du Lac in G on February 9 at $3.50 at the bell was leading. Two runs back 4th over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway, at the bell was 6th- beaten 5 m by Laser (1:58.40) in G on February 3 at $4.95. Prefer in something a bit easier.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.75 m third behind G A Speed Sammy at this track over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 2.5 metres third at Mohawk Park same class on February 2. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Comes here second-up after three-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Little Manny (1:57.40) in G on January 18 at $71.80. Happy enough to avoid.
