Woodbine Race 5

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $180,599

BOTTA SWING (2) was doing her best work late last start to get up for second over 1006m at this track. Sure to prove tough to beat. FIRING BULLETS (1) started at $9.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths at this track over 1408m. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. The engagement of Kazushi Kimura is noteworthy. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ONELLA (3) is back from a spell of seven months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1308m at this track. Key runner. YOU BE THE JUDGE (7) accounted for a maiden field over 1207m at this track last start, finishing a nose ahead of the nearest rival. Ryan Munger was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. One of the likely contenders despite the step up in grade.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation second last in a small field at this track in the LR December 2 over 1207m, 7 len behind Shamans Girl carrying 54.5kg at $2.15. At her first start won by 1.0 len this track October 14 over 1308m defeating Why Em Sea Ay with 53.5kg at $2.80. Will take a lot from this run but stays under notice.

Third-up today. First-up 4th in a small field at this track on May 18 over 1106m, 3.5 len behind Maximum Fifty with 54kg at $4.35. Last start won by a nose at this track June 9 over 1207m defeating Current Affair carrying 53.5kg at $6.35. Broke through last time and is worth thought again.
