Flamboro Downs Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $10,345

ALLSTAR CORDS (4) was half a metre away in second at this track over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. Leading hope in a similar race. GANSBAAI (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. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. PARLAY KING (3) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Can turn things around. STROKER (1) is usually thereabouts and must be included following a last start fifth at this track.

Failed to impress last start; 5th over 1609m at this track was leading by at the bell, beaten 1.75 m by Gearson (1:57.10) in G on April 5 at $1.45. Showed ability the race before when he won by a 0.5 m as favourite at this track (1:55.40) beating Allstar Cords in G on March 29 at $2.70 at the bell was leading. Going okay so keep him safe.

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 3rd- beaten 1.0 m by Gearson (1:57.10) in G on April 5 at $3.05. Before that 3rd over 1609m at this track was 3rd- at the bell, beaten 1.0 m by Chef (1:55.40) in G on March 29 at $13.05. Would be better placed in something easier.
