Flamboro Downs Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $12,652

SPIROS (4) had been out of the money in recent runs before the latest appearance when he scored by 8 metres over 1609m at this track. Leading hope in a similar assignment. HADLEY (7) produced a strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field and she can take this out. P L TALLADEGA (3) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. FAST AS LIGHTNING (2) is a chance after finishing in the money for the second time in a row last start, beaten 2.75 metres into third at this track.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Trix On You at this track over 1609m on October 3 at $13.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing third behind Baselitz at this track over 1609m on October 10 at $11. Strong winning hope.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Baselitz (2:00.10) on October 10 at $4.50. The run prior 5th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 3rd- beaten 10 m by Stormont Friedboy (1:54.00) in 5yo on October 1 at $27.30. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.
