Western Fair Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $6,738

ASHLEYSBEST (1) had to dig deep to salute last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.3 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can get the job done again. RISKY LIGHTNING (2) was responsible for a far better performance at his latest appearance when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.3 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. MACH JACOBS (5) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. SPORTS SECTION (6) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.75 metres at this track over 1609m.
