Woodbine Race 8

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: -

TAKEMETOTHEBEACH (1) Faded at the finish when 3rd beaten by 1 1/4L last time around here and has drawn the rails. Has shown early pace in races to date. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. GRANDSON (4) Average effort when 4th last start at this venue and dropping in distance. Will be hitting the line strongly. Competing at a higher level of competition. Has to be strongly considered. COOL KISS (2) Ran past a few when 4th last time at this track and up against a less challenging field. Recent form of the stable is strong and gets a favourable draw. Key player. HE'S NOT JOKING (3) Disappointing display when 6th last run at the track. Ryan Munger and Josie Carroll are a promising combination. Possesses the talent and has some chance.

Was overpowered late when 3rd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at this venue and drawn well. Pietro Moran and William Tharrenos are a formidable team. Should go very close.

Jumped at $7.50 and moved through the field into 4th last time at the track and up against a less competitive field. Edgar Mendoza stable are on fire recently. Strong prospects in this race.

Jumped at $8.50 and struggled with the pace when 6th last time at this venue. Overlooking the last run and facing a weaker group of contenders. One that represents value at a decent price.
