Western Fair Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $8,603

RIDIN SHOTGUN (9) is in good form at present. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.75 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Leading hope based on recent form. SPARKN THEFIRE (1) was out of the money two runs back at Scioto Downs then improved sharply last start to score by 0.9 metres over 1609m at Northfield Park. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender in a similar race. DIESEL DALI (2) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Leamington Raceway. DANCININTHEDARK (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a nose at this track over 1609m.
