Western Fair Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $13,423

SOUTHWIND SAMBUCCA (5) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 6 metres into eighth at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and can make amends. IDEAL PERCEPTION (1) recorded a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. GRANITE BEACH (2) is one of the main contenders after winning his past two starts, the latest at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. JJ XAVIER (3) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.
