Flamboro Downs Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $11,123

MARVIN HAGLER (1) finished fourth at Grand River Raceway two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1609m at Hanover Raceway, beaten 5 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. JOHNNY BUCKSHOT (5) finished seventh last start, beaten 5 metres at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Expecting a very good run. DELICIOUSSTONE (8) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at Georgian Downs. No reason the run cannot continue. MERCUTIO (2) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at Hanover Raceway over 1609m.
