Western Fair Raceway Race 5

1609M

Stake: $10,044

JJ XAVIER (4) again drew a wide gate last start and failed to feature, beaten 8 metres into fifth at Flamboro Downs over 1609m. His recent form is not a true indication. Good enough to take out a race like this. PRESTIGE SEELSTER (8) has been hard to fault of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by a head. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. CAPTAINOFROCKNROLL (1) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track eight days ago. SIR A (3) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.
