Western Fair Raceway Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $9,969

ROSE RUN VORTEX (3) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.8 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of continuing his fine form. SCRATCHIN AN ITCH (4) won three back at this track and registered another success last start, scoring by one metre over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. NOVA SCOTIA STRONG (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. HEZA HANDY MAN (1) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.3 m finishing third behind Ys Delight at this track over 1609m in a G on March 10 at $44.25. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.0 m finishing second behind Scratchin An Itch at this track over 1609m in a G on March 17 at $17.90. Going nicely and looks a top chance.

Solid run when beaten by 1.0 m finishing second behind Ys Delight at this track over 1609m in a G on March 10 at $17.45. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Wild Doc Holliday at this track over 1609m in a G on March 17 at $7.90. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 2 m at this track (1:56.40) beating Gascoigne Sundae in G on March 17 at $2.75 at the bell was leading. Two runs back 2nd over 1609m at this track was leading by at the bell, beaten 2 m by Woodmere Denver (1:56.20) in G on March 10 at $7.05. May find this too tough.

Two runs back 9th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 7th- beaten 9 m by Winchester Phoenix (1:53.30) on March 8 at $12.50. Would be better placed in something easier.
