Flamboro Downs Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $6,329

G A SPEED SAMMY (2) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last four starts including a second most recently at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Recent efforts are good enough to put him right in the finish. PAPIAMENTO (4) comes here just three days after finishing third beaten 2.5 metres over 1609m at Mohawk Park. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. LIVIN LARGE (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 3 metres at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m. EARLY PLAY (5) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1609m at this track.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing eighth behind Hes Swift at this track over 1609m in a G on January 22 at $28.25. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind The Colt at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a G on February 2 at $18.05. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
