Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $33,826

ITS MAJOR MAJOR (3) was without a win before he improved last start to score by a neck over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Primary contender in a similar race. CENTURY KOMODO (2) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last four starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role again. TAURASI (8) finished fourth at this track last time. Consistent performer whose best form stacks up favourably so he must be included. WRITE ME A ROSE (6) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.3 metres at this track over 1609m.
