Western Fair Raceway Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $9,283

WINMEBAK (2) had to dig deep to salute last time out over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, getting home by just 1.3 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope in a similar assignment. DOCSPHILLYCHEESE (1) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just a nose from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a nice race and can salute. SCRATCHIN AN ITCH (3) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track. ONTOP RAINMAN (4) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at Flamboro Downs.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing sixth behind Whatchulookin At at Mohawk Park over 1609m on February 7 at $50.85. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Harborlite Ambrose at this track over 1609m in a HCP G on February 13 at $10.45. Chief contender.

Failed to impress last start; 7th over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Grin And Win (2:00.30) in G on February 3 at $6.65. Showed ability the race before when he won by 4 m at this track (1:56.30) beating Ara You Crazy in G on January 20 at $3.95 at the bell was leading. Has the ability to take this out.
