Western Fair Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $5,459

WOODMERE TITAN (9) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 metres, after a good third at this track the run prior. Must overcome a very wide draw. Big chance if he is at his best. BETTER THAN WICKED (8) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just half a metre from the winner. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. SPLASH OF LEMON (3) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. THE DARK LORD (1) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.
