Flamboro Downs Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $11,494

MERCUTIO (2) resumes from a spell of four months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Well-placed to take this out. HOUSTON SEELSTER (3) put the writing on the wall two runs ago then improved further at his latest appearance when he scored by 3.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a similar line up so he can make it two on the bounce. MUSCLE FASHION (6) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Hard to find fault. AMIGO MIO (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing sixth behind Houston Seelster at this track over 1609m on April 2 at $2.45. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.0 m finishing second behind Nothingbutadreamer at this track over 1609m on April 9 at $2.65. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Last start 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 5th- beaten 15 m by Cover Band (1:54.30) on April 12 at $37.05. Two runs back won by a 0.8 m as favourite at this track (2:00.30) beating Hesohot Hanover in on April 2 at $1.65. Might find this lot a bit smart.
