Flamboro Downs Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $8,222

NAZARE (8) finished second last start, beaten 0.8 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. ASHLEYSBEST (1) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last 10 starts including a third most recently at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the impressive recent efforts. JOE DIMAGIO (3) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago. BUCK N BETTOR (5) could only manage ninth when resuming over 1609m at this track last start. Can do better.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Woodmere Denver at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m in a G on February 24 at $10.45. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Jimsun at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m in a G on March 3 at $16.25. Definite winning chance.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing fifth behind Wilcat Rocky at this track over 1609m in a G on February 22 at $9.25. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Sergeant Slaughter at this track over 1609m in a G on March 1 at $13.35. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 2nd over 1609m at this track was 2nd- at the bell, beaten 1.3 m by Connor B (1:55.40) in G on March 1 at $6.35. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 4.5 m finishing sixth behind Harry G at this track over 1609m in a G on February 22 at $4.65. This is likely to prove too tough.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Gentleonmymind at Mohawk Park over 1609m on February 21 at $19.10. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Montana Slim at this track over 1609m in a G on March 1 at $2.80. Capable of testing this line-up.
