Western Fair Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Stake: $9,177

ESQUIRE (1) scored at Flamboro Downs three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when fifth over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, beaten 6 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MYRETIREMENTDREAM (2) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track but gave a good account, beaten only 2.5 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up and he can make amends. THE LIONKING AS (3) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1609m at Flamboro Downs. Great chance to break through. TOSCANO GIRL (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 5.5 metres at this track over 1609m.

At the previous start 8th over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, at the bell was 8th- beaten 12 m by Masterwork (1:58.20) on January 22 at $5.20. Happy to give him another try in this suitable contest.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow third behind Hesohot Hanover at Flamboro Downs over 1609m last start. Before that was beaten a head second again at Flamboro Downs in HCP on January 22. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following January 16 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.5 m as favourite at this track (2:04.40) beating Playfull Elegance in on January 30 at $3 at the bell was leading. This race will be harder than that win. Rough place hope at best.

Failed to impress last start; 5th over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, at the bell was 5th- beaten 8 m by Double Dippin (1:59.30) on February 5 at $21.45. Showed ability the race before when he won by 1.75 m as favourite at this track (2:03.30) beating Jewel's Cup in on January 26 at $1.65 at the bell was leading. Going okay so keep him safe.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Passarino at this track over 1609m on January 27 at $72.65. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Coming Fashion at this track over 1609m on February 4 at $72.30. Plenty to like about her prospects.
