Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $37,424

AMIGO VOLO (7) has had two runs this campaign and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 1609m at this track, finishing one metre away from the winner in sixth. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Has the talent to take care of this field. P L SPENCER (3) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. USAIN HANOVER (1) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 2.5 metres at this track over 1609m. OSCEOLA (9) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can atone. Something for the Multiples: WHAT ABOUT ELMO (2)

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow fourth behind Ghostly Casper at this track over 1609m OPEN last start. Before that was beaten 1.3 metres third again at this track same class on April 12. Racing well and not without merit.

Failed to impress last start; 8th over 1609m at this track was 7th- at the bell, beaten 10 m by Logan Park (1:52.40) in OPEN on April 26 at $37.65. Showed ability the race before when he won by a nose as favourite at this track (1:54.30) beating Quebec Hanover in on April 19 at $1.45 at the bell was 2nd-. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Respect.
