Western Fair Raceway Race 10

1609M

Stake: $6,791

RISING DRAGON (9) finished sixth last start, beaten 7 metres at this track over 1609m. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. LIVIN LARGE (3) was racing well before the latest appearance when he scored by one metre over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. FAVARO SEELSTER (6) scored last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role again. ASHLEYSBEST (7) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound second at this track over 1609m.
