Western Fair Raceway Race 10

Race 10

Prize Money: $13,062

TOTAL STRANGER (7) saluted two runs back then registered a comfortable win last start, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at Flamboro Downs. Must overcome a very wide draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. TRICKY MCWICKY (8) finished fifth last start over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 4 metres, after a modest fourth at Mohawk Park the run prior. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. P L OLIVER (5) must be considered after he finished runner-up when resuming over 1609m at this track four days ago. CENTURY ENDEAVOR (6) is in the mix following a respectable second at his first run back over 1609m at Flamboro Downs.

Last start 6th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 6th- beaten 10 m by Ys Delight (1:55.40) in G on March 20 at $10.40. Two runs back won by a 0.8 m at Flamboro Downs (1:56.10) beating Nazare in G on March 1 at $7.30 at the bell was leading. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Five-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Flamboro Downs and this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 6 m win as favourite at Flamboro Downs (1:52.20) beating Century Endeavor in HCP G on March 29 at $2.25 at the bell was leading. Recent form hard to fault.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fifth behind Codename Cigar Box at Mohawk Park over 1609m last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres fourth again at Mohawk Park in 5yo HCP on March 14. Rates highly so expect a bold run.
