Western Fair Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Stake: $8,072

POPPA JOE (1) turned in a much better run at his latest appearance when he scored by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can make it two on the trot. ALLSTAR BRUISER (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. THEYMAKEUSBETTER (2) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. LUCKYS BIG BOY (5) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing seventh behind Th Tru Play at this track over 1609m in a G on March 4 at $13.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Poppa Joe at this track over 1609m in a G on March 11 at $24.70. Sure to play a significant role.
