Western Fair Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $9,969

SCRATCHIN AN ITCH (4) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Certainly cannot be faulted after that last effort. Good enough to take out a race like this. BUZZ LIGHTYEAR (2) produced a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. FILLY WATCHER (6) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. B JS CHOICE (3) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on March 24.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m second behind Total Stranger at this track over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 2.75 metres sixth again at this track same class on March 17. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Is on a seven-day back-up and has been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start 3rd over 1609m at this track was 3rd- at the bell, beaten 5 m by Total Stranger (1:56.20) in G on March 24 at $23.10. Looks outclassed.
