Western Fair Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $6,269

CRUNCH HANOVER (9) has drawn wide in recent runs. Failed to feature last time out when fifth over 1609m at Flamboro Downs. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of a much better performance. HOUND ON THE BEACH (1) wasn't beaten all that far at his latest appearance over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, beaten just 2.25 metres into fifth. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of another strong performance. PEBBLE BEACH PRO (3) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. MAX SHADOW (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: LA SUN CONTROL (6)

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, at the bell was 3rd- beaten 2.25 m by Major Hill (1:56.30) in G on March 1 at $8. The start before 6th over 1609m at Flamboro Downs was 4th- at the bell, beaten 7 m by Wilcat Rocky (1:57.20) in G on February 22 at $13.90. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow third behind No Plan Intended at this track over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres fourth again at this track same class on February 9. Racing well and not without merit.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing sixth behind Jimsun at this track over 1609m in a G on February 10 at $19.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Major Hill at this track over 1609m in a G on February 27 at $4.20. Definite winning chance.
