Woodbine Race 9

Vice Regent S. Stakes

Prize Money: -

COST OF WAR (7) Gave them a lesson when winning by a margin of 3L last time at the track but challenged by more formidable competitors. Has to be strongly considered. ARTEMUS CITYLIMITS (4) Took charge of the race when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last time around here and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Expecting to settle positively. Can go on with it. OUTLAW KID (2) Flashed home late into 3rd last run at this track and has a good draw. Sahin Civaci and George Weaver are an appealing combination. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. MISTER BLUE (1) Didn't find the line when 10th last run at this venue. Can make a comeback and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Dropping in distance. Looks promising in this race.

Jumped at $4.75 and gave away some ground when 10th last run at this track. Can make a comeback and drawn well. Should be going forward early. Will be around the mark at good odds.

Good effort to run 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last run at the track and gets a favourable alley. Sahin Civaci and George Weaver command respect as a pairing. Worth a lot of thought in this race.
