Western Fair Raceway Race 11

Race 11

Prize Money: $10,867

DRINKIN BUDDY (9) has been racing well of late. Finished fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. DOCSPHILLYCHEESE (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 6 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this better draw. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. ATLAS HANOVER (4) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. MONTANA SLIM (8) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track.

Failed to impress last start; 6th over 1609m at this track was 5th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by Ideal Perception (1:56.10) in HCP G on April 17 at $32.80. Showed ability the race before when he won by 1.75 m as favourite at this track (1:56.40) beating Dragon You Along in G on April 7 at $1.30 at the bell was leading. Leading contender and the inside draw helps.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow third behind Dalhousie at this track over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 1.3 metres sixth again at this track in on April 10. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Failed to impress last start; 7th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 4th- beaten 5 m by Dalhousie (1:55.40) in G on April 17 at $6.55. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a head at this track (1:57.30) beating Lookinlikeamillion in on April 10 at $12.55 at the bell was 5th-. Look for improvement on last start.
