Western Fair Raceway Race 10

Race 10

Prize Money: $13,062

DIAMOND RYDER (7) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. IT TAKES TWO (4) scored by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past five runs. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of making it consecutive wins. IDEAL PERCEPTION (3) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. P L OLIVER (5) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following March 24 run. Last start won by 2.5 m at this track (1:56.10) beating Arundel Hanover in G on March 31 at $7.30 at the bell was leading. This race will be harder than that win. Can't make much of a case.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m sixth behind Cheddar Bay at this track over 1609m HCP last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres second again at this track in G on March 20. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second behind Cheddar Bay at this track over 1609m in a HCP on March 30 at $9.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Diamond Ryder at this track over 1609m in a HCP G on April 3 at $3.85. Big run expected.

Failed to impress last start; 7th over 1609m at this track was 7th- at the bell, beaten 5 m by Cheddar Bay (1:54.20) in HCP on March 30 at $14.35. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 5 m win at this track (1:55.40) beating Ideal Perception in G on March 20 at $26.90 at the bell was 2nd-. Going okay so keep him safe.
