Flamboro Downs Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $8,703

HANDSOME HANK (3) finished seventh last start, beaten 90 metres at Batavia Downs over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat. TEXACO MAN (1) won at this track two runs ago before finishing fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender if anywhere near his best. TWIST OF TABBY (2) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Batavia Downs. Can atone. SO NOT COOL (8) should be at his peak at the fourth run back from a spell, the latest outing a fourth at this track two weeks ago.
