Flamboro Downs Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $6,329

HERES THE THING (5) wasn't beaten all that far two runs back at this track then got the win she deserved last start over 1609m at this track, arriving 0.8 metres ahead of the runner-up. Tackles a similar assignment and she can salute once again. BABY STEP BACK (1) turned in a good effort at her latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on January 31. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Her last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. CLODAM BAYAMA (3) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. BARGAIN BID (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Five-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a head as favourite at this track (1:58.10) beating Saulsbrook Diva in FM on January 31 at $2.10 at the bell was 2nd-. Going very well and deserves top billing.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Greystone Playgirl at this track over 1609m in a FM on December 17 at $2.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Better In Heels at this track over 1609m in a FM on December 27 at $36.65. Capable of testing this line-up.
