Flamboro Downs Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $9,300

THUMANN (1) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. His last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. BELMONT BLAZER (7) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last four starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the impressive recent efforts. SMILES FOR MILES (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. ONYX BOVINO (2) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Ontop Rainman at this track over 1609m in a HCP G on March 8 at $28.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing third behind Sergeant Slaughter at this track over 1609m in a G on March 22 at $10.15. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Didn't do much last start, 5th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 4th- beaten 5 m by Thumann (1:55.30) in G on March 26 at $5.25. Before that 7th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 2nd- at the bell, beaten 5 m by Batterup Hanover (1:53.20) on March 14 at $26.90. Not a genuine contender.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m third behind Thumann at this track over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres second at Mohawk Park same class on March 23. Rates highly so expect a bold run.
