Western Fair Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Stake: $14,676

DIAMOND RYDER (6) finished eighth last start, beaten 7 metres at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating. MONTANA SLIM (5) scored last time out by 0.8 metres at Flamboro Downs over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Leading hope in this comparable race. HARBORLITE AMBROSE (4) finished fifth last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. IDEAL PERCEPTION (2) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.75 metres at Flamboro Downs over 1609m.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following March 3 run. Last start won by 1.0 m at this track (1:56.40) beating Rose Run Vortex in G on March 10 at $42.25 at the bell was 6th-. This race will be harder than that win. Has the job ahead this time.

Going well. Last start by 1.75 m as favourite at Flamboro Downs (1:53.40) beating Kingston Panic in HCP G on March 1 at $1.85 at the bell was leading. Must be respected.

Last start 9th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 9th- at the bell, beaten 11 m by Stormalong (1:51.40) on March 14 at $16.40. Two runs back 3rd over 1609m at this track was 6th- at the bell, beaten 5 m by It Takes Two (1:56.20) in HCP G on February 27 at $3.35. Will not find this easy.

Failed to impress last start; 5th over 1609m at this track was 7th- at the bell, beaten 7 m by It Takes Two (1:56.20) in HCP G on February 27 at $8.75. Showed ability the race before when he came home strongly from last on the turn and won by a nose as favourite at this track (1:56.30) beating It Takes Two in HCP G on February 13 at $2.60 at the bell was 6th-. Top-three finish is well within his grasp.

In good form recently. Last start won by a 0.8 m at Flamboro Downs (1:56.10) beating Nazare in G on March 1 at $7.30 at the bell was leading. Expected to measure up again.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 5th- at the bell, beaten 7 m by Wallace Hartley (1:51.40) in 5yo HCP on March 7 at $37.85. The run before 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 4th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by Blue Bar (1:53.40) in 4yo on February 21 at $4.90. Nicely placed to find a bit of form.
