Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $42,194

BRUE HANOVER (4) made it two on the trot last start when he got the cash by a head over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can grab another win. TAURASI (2) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just half a metre from the winner. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can grab a win. DUBLIN DASHER (1) comes right into contention after scoring last start by half a metre at this track over 1609m. ITS SATURDAY NIGHT (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on January 24.

Six-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a head as favourite at this track (1:53.30) beating Blue Hunt in OPEN on January 24 at $1.65 at the bell was leading. Going very well and deserves top billing.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by a 0.5 m at this track (1:53.40) beating Jack Panic in on January 31 at $3.20 at the bell was leading. Two runs back 3rd over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 5th- beaten 4 m by Dublin Dasher (1:52.10) on January 24 at $10.05. Better off looking to others.
