Flamboro Downs Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $11,305

GRANITE BEACH (3) turned in an out-of-character effort last start when 9 metres away in seventh over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Form prior to that had been solid. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he can make amends. THE MAGIC MOMENT (5) finished sixth at Western Fair Raceway two runs ago before finishing seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway, beaten 17 metres. Won't find this any harder and he can finish a lot closer this time. ATLAS HANOVER (1) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at Mohawk Park. PARLAY KING (7) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Last start 4th over 1609m at this track was 4th- at the bell, beaten 1.3 m by Montana Slim (1:56.10) in G on March 1 at $10.80. Two runs back won by a 0.5 m at this track (1:57.20) beating Rose Run Vortex in G on February 22 at $2.85 at the bell was leading. Unlikely to threaten.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway was 5th- at the bell, beaten 17 m by It Takes Two (1:56.20) in HCP G on February 27 at $4.65. The run prior 6th over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway, at the bell was leading beaten 3 m by Harborlite Ambrose (1:56.30) in HCP G on February 13 at $5.85. Anticipating a much better performance this time.

Failed to impress last start; 6th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 6th- beaten 2.75 m by Montana Slim (1:56.10) in G on March 1 at $3.30. Showed ability the run before when he won by a neck at this track (1:57.10) beating Delightful Leader in HCP G on February 15 at $1.35 at the bell was leading. Going okay so keep him safe.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Batterup Hanover at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a G on February 23 at $8. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Montana Slim at this track over 1609m in a G on March 1 at $2.80. Nicely placed to take this out.
