Western Fair Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $7,341

BETTER THAN NEVER (2) did a good job to finish second two starts ago then registered an effortless victory last start, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at Flamboro Downs. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. WRITE ABOUT NOW (1) has been racing very well and deserved his win last time out, scoring by one metre over 1609m at Hiawatha. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another big race. JAFAR DU LAC (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Flamboro Downs over 1609m. Genuine threat. LETJIMITAKEOVER (5) is a consistent performer with three top-three finishes on the trot. Won't let backers down.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth behind Stickeminlethimgo at Hiawatha over 1609m in a G on September 20 at $2.35. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third behind Rocknroll's Shadow at Flamboro Downs over 1609m in a G on September 25 at $6.85. Can improve.
