Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $44,221

ERVIN HANOVER (6) finished eighth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. This doesn't look as hard so he is in the right race to find winning form. AYEAYE CAPTAIN DEO (2) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 8 metres into ninth at this track over 1609m. This is a nice drop in grade so from a favourable draw he is a major player. DELRAY BEACH (4) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. DALTON SHARD N (7) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
