Western Fair Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Stake: $7,566

BETTER THAN NEVER (5) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last seven starts including a second most recently at this track over 1609m. Primary contender in a similar assignment. THUMANN (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 4 metres at this track over 1609m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. SOME MIGHT SAY (2) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fourth at this track over 1609m. MCWINNER (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by half a metre at this track over 1609m.
