Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $16,685

ROCKS SHADOW (4) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved her success last start, scoring by a neck over 1609m at this track. This should be an easier assignment so she is sure to prove tough to beat again. ALWAYS B MERRY (7) registered a strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Flamboro Downs. Must overcome a very wide draw. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. COLD CREEK ESPERO (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 1609m. SAUBLE AMBER (3) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at Flamboro Downs last time out.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following August 25 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.8 m at Flamboro Downs (1:56.20) beating Sunnys Girl in FM on September 6 at $5.45 at the bell was 4th-. This race will be harder than that win.
