Western Fair Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Stake: $10,768

GRIN AND WIN (3) resumes after finishing eighth at his latest appearance at Mohawk Park on November 8. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a suitable assignment and will be a major force. SCRATCHIN AN ITCH (7) was responsible for a far better performance last time out when he scored by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Primary contender in a similar race. ROSE RUN VORTEX (6) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at this track last time out. ARUNDEL HANOVER (5) finished fourth at this track last time. Consistent and deserves respect.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a neck at this track (2:01.30) beating Jimsun in G on January 27 at $4.20 at the bell was 3rd-. Two runs back 6th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 7th- beaten 2.5 m by Filly Watcher (1:57.10) in G on January 20 at $54.35. A top-three finish would surprise.

Last start 4th over 1609m at this track was 3rd- at the bell, beaten 7 m by Scratchin An Itch (1:56.30) in G on January 20 at $4.65. Two runs back won by a 0.8 m at this track (1:57.30) beating Ara You Crazy in G on January 13 at $3.85 at the bell was leading. Should be right in the finish.
