Western Fair Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $12,781

SCENE A MAGICIAN (9) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 0.8 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. BUTTINSKI (7) continued a strong run of recent form and registered another win last time out, scoring by 0.8 metres over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. TYMAL RIGGS (6) is in the mix at his first run since scoring over 1609m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. MY BUDDY SAM (5) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound second at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: LIVINGITLARGE (8)

Solid run when a close second behind Royalty Beer at this track over 1609m in a HCP on April 27 at $2.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Buttinski at this track over 1609m on May 4 at $1.70. Looks the testing material.
