Western Fair Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $6,270

LIVIN LARGE (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when half a metre from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. SHANGHAIGOLD (6) produced a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on April 1. Tackles a similar assignment and he can salute once again. TEA TODDLER DOT (2) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. NO PARTNERS (3) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good second over 1609m at this track two runs back.

Solid run when beaten by 1.0 m finishing fourth behind Shanghaigold at this track over 1609m in a G on March 25 at $5.45. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Ruredyforagoodtime at this track over 1609m in a G on April 1 at $57.25. This race appears well within his grasp.

Nine-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.5 m at this track (1:59.40) beating Livin Large in G on April 1 at $2.40 at the bell was leading. No reason he cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.
