Flamboro Downs Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $8,018

LIL SEBASTIAN (5) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 4 metres from the winner. Finds a nice race and can bounce back to winning form. STEELWHEEL HANOVER (2) finished eighth last start, beaten 6 metres at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. CONVOY TWENTY TWO (4) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at Mohawk Park two-and-a-half weeks ago. MR JOHN (1) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.
