Western Fair Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Stake: $8,574

PLAY THE ACE (9) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 1.75 metres from the winner. Must overcome a very wide draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. PEY BUG (7) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, beaten 6 metres, after finishing fourth at Flamboro Downs the run prior. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. His last run should be overlooked. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. FAVARO SEELSTER (1) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park. TUUKKA RASP (2) disappointed last time when sixth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
