Flamboro Downs Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $9,764

ALLSTAR CORDS (2) resumes from a spell of six months after showing some very good form last campaign, the last run being a second over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Will have plenty of admirers. STROKER (7) did a good job to finish second two starts ago then recorded an effortless victory last start, scoring by 5.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Must overcome a very wide draw. Meets a similar line up so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. LATE FOR COFFEE (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. GANSBAAI (5) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Solid run when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Doc's Earnest at this track over 1609m in a G on March 8 at $5.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Stroker at this track over 1609m in a G on March 22 at $15.20. Big run expected.

Last start 4th over 1609m at this track was 3rd- at the bell, beaten 8 m by Stroker (1:56.00) in G on March 22 at $3.10. Two runs back won by a 0.5 m at this track (1:56.30) beating Stroker in G on March 8 at $4.30 at the bell was leading. Win doesn't look likely.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 5th- beaten 8 m by Stroker (1:56.00) in G on March 22 at $21.15. Before that 3rd over 1609m at this track was 3rd- at the bell, beaten 3 m by Doc's Earnest (1:57.30) in G on March 8 at $48.65. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten.
