Flamboro Downs Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $9,555

ENAVANT (5) produced a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can grab a win. G A SPEED SAMMY (3) has been racing without luck. Failed to feature last time out when fifth over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Won't find this any harder and he can finish a lot closer this time. CHIEF OF STAFF (4) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. HAPUNA BEACH (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
