Western Fair Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $7,085

HERES THE THING (9) showed plenty of fight to score last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just half a metre. Must overcome a very wide draw. Her last-start form is good enough to put her right in the finish. ALESSANDRA (4) turned in a much better run last start when runner-up over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, beaten a head. Tackles a similar assignment and she can go one better without surprising. FIRSTOFANERA (3) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at Mohawk Park two-and-a-half weeks ago. HOTTUBPOPPINBUBBLY (7) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Flamboro Downs.

Failed to impress last start; 6th over 1609m at Clinton Raceway, at the bell was 7th- beaten 9 m by Artsalive (1:57.10) in M on September 6 at $26.85. Showed ability the race before when she won by a 0.5 m at Grand River Raceway (1:59.00) beating Rambaran Rose in FM on August 28 at $17.20 at the bell was 6th-. Going okay so keep her safe.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd over 1609m at this track was 6th- at the bell, beaten 1.5 m by My Midnight Lover (1:57.40) in FM on October 2 at $34.05. Capable of another big run.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start 9th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 8th- at the bell, beaten 17 m by Heavens Lil Dragon (1:52.30) in FM on September 21 at $7.50. The run previous 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at Batavia Downs, beaten 30 m by Mcvera (1:54.30) in FM CLASS B on September 16 at $21.48. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing sixth behind Gracie T at Flamboro Downs over 1609m in a FM on September 20 at $8.25. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Solitary Dancer at Flamboro Downs over 1609m in a FM on September 27 at $1.65. Has the ability to play a major role.
