Flamboro Downs Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $7,194

BOTTLE ROCKET (6) was responsible for a far better performance at his latest appearance, finishing fifth over 1609m at this track. Won't find this any harder and he can find the winners' circle. SMOKESTACK (7) recorded a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. WILDRIVERBUMBLEBEE (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. CHIEF OF STAFF (4) is worth some thought based on his third over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway two runs ago.

Didn't do much at the last run, 9th over 1609m at this track was 9th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by Ashers Basher (1:57.30) in G on March 8 at $30.70. Before that 6th over 1609m at this track was 6th- at the bell, beaten 3 m by Major Hill (1:56.30) in G on March 1 at $11.35. Can't see him troubling these.
