Flamboro Downs Race 5

Race 5

Stake: $13,068

HOUSTON SEELSTER (2) made it two wins from his last five outings a week ago, getting home by 2.75 metres over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance in a similar race. BADEN BADEN (5) ran second last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 2.75 metres. Expecting a very good run. GUCCI GUCCI GOO (1) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at this track. No reason the run cannot continue. BANDURA (3) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
