Western Fair Raceway Race 9

1609M

Prize Money: $9,131

ESQUIRE (1) scored at this track three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when sixth over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, beaten 9 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. TEXACO MAN (7) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres. Must overcome a very wide draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. FORBIDDEN TREASURE (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by 7 metres at Flamboro Downs over 1609m. GLOBAL NEWS (3) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
