Flamboro Downs Race 1

Race 1

Stake: $8,561

BUCK N BETTOR (8) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track but gave a good account, beaten only 2.25 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. ODDS ON KICKOFF (7) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last five starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. It doesn't get any easier but he is good enough to take this out. CRUNCH HANOVER (2) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week ago. SMOKESTACK (1) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track.

Last start 7th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 6th- beaten 6 m by Sergeant Slaughter (1:54.40) in G on March 1 at $37.50. Before that, a game effort when 3rd over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 3rd- beaten 2.5 m by Harry G (1:57.40) in G on February 22 at $5.70. Recent form okay so worth considering.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2 m fourth behind Ashers Basher at this track over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres fifth again at this track same class on March 1. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Solid run when a close second behind Thumann at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m in a G on March 2 at $5.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind Thumann at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m in a G on March 9 at $8.70. Rates highly. Big chance.
