Flamboro Downs Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $8,583

ROYAL JK (2) had been out of the money in recent runs before the latest appearance when he scored by 3 metres over 1609m at Clinton Raceway. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. BLUEBIRD RECON (8) won at Georgian Downs two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 11 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. HASSELHOFF (1) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at Grand River Raceway over 1609m. Hard to find fault. DOCS ROCK (5) must be respected after scoring last start by half a metre at Grand River Raceway over 1609m.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Rylentless at Grand River Raceway over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten a neck third again at Grand River Raceway same class on August 24. Racing well and is a strong chance.

Last start 5th over 1609m at Hiawatha, at the bell was 5th- beaten 3 m by Captain Income (1:55.00) in G on September 5 at $5.20. Two runs back 4th over 1609m at Kawartha Downs, at the bell was 7th- beaten 4 m by Caughtinalandslide (1:54.10) in G on August 29 at $2.55. Finds a few better. Can't recommend.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following August 15 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a nose at Leamington Raceway (2:00.30) beating Wicked Ending in on August 30 at $11.05 at the bell was 3rd-. This race will be harder than that win. Needs to do more. Others better.

Last start 4th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 3rd- beaten 11 m by Gloryview Image (1:51.00) in G on August 31 at $5.20. Two runs back posted a big 6 m win as favourite at Georgian Downs (1:54.40) beating Make It Come True in G on August 25 at $2.25 at the bell was leading. Has the right credentials to take this out.
