Western Fair Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $12,333

CHEDDAR BAY (5) was in the money at Mohawk Park two runs ago before finishing seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 7 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can make amends. IT TAKES TWO (8) drew wide once again last start and was never a threat, beaten 14 metres into eighth at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Must overcome another very wide draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. IDEAL PERCEPTION (6) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. HARBORLITE AMBROSE (4) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following March 10 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.8 m at this track (1:57.10) beating Rose Run Vortex in G on March 17 at $4.50 at the bell was 2nd-. This race will be harder than that win. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Before that, a solid effort when 2nd over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 4th- beaten 1.0 m by Winchester Phoenix (1:53.30) on March 8 at $3.70. This race appears well within his grasp.
