Flamboro Downs Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $7,384

PALLADIUM HANOVER (2) finished eighth last start, beaten 14 metres at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. CURIOUS CORTEZ (3) ran sixth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 4.5 metres. Expecting a very good run. CONNOR B (4) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back. SILVER BEAST (8) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway on February 23.

Last start solid effort when 2nd over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 2nd- beaten 2.75 m by St Lads Beat It (1:58.00) in G on February 22 at $7.30.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 8th over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway was 7th- at the bell, beaten 14 m by Jimsun (1:59.00) in G on February 3 at $8.35. At the previous start 8th over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway, beaten 30 m by Tellit Russ Tellit (2:) in G on January 27 at $8.15. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.

The run before 9th over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Respect Our Flag (1:57.10) in HCP G on February 15 at $21.05. Anticipating a much better performance this time.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 7th- beaten 8 m by Can Be A Treasure (1:56.40) in HCP G on February 22 at $24.30. The start before 9th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 9th- beaten 5.5 m by Volcanic (1:54.00) on February 16 at $103.75. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m fifth behind No Plan Intended at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 0.3 metres second again at Western Fair Raceway same class on February 2. Racing well and not without merit.
