Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 2

Race 2

Stake: $20,676

THE WRITER (6) recorded a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. JOHN HILL (2) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago. NOVA BLU (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m.
