Georgian Downs Race 10

Race 10

Stake: $15,870

WHY WOULDNT YA (4) scored by half a metre at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past six runs. Stepping up a level this time but he is good enough to take this out. CAPTAINOFROCKNROLL (7) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Must overcome a very wide draw. Big chance in a similar line-up. MAJOR FERNCO N (6) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week ago. HOLY JALAPENO (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.3 m second behind Titanic Hanover at Mohawk Park over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten a head second again at Mohawk Park same class on August 3. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
