Western Fair Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $9,607

IDEAL PERCEPTION (6) had put together a string of strong performances then maintained the momentum last start when he finished second over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, beaten 0.8 metres. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. ARUNDEL HANOVER (3) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Certainly cannot be faulted after that last effort. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. DONT POKE THE BEAR (1) is better than his last-start ninth over 1609m at Mohawk Park. BATTERUP HANOVER (2) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at this track over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing eighth behind Saulsbrook Litten at Flamboro Downs over 1609m in a G on January 4 at $6.10. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Wilcat Rocky at Flamboro Downs over 1609m in a G on January 11 at $2.50. Chief contender.
