Flamboro Downs Race 9 - Race 9

DONT POKE THE BEAR (2) ran sixth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 5.5 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. This is a nice drop in class so he is sure to prove tough to beat. KJ OWEN (4) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.3 metres. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. ARTSALIVE (9) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at Mohawk Park. HAPUNA BEACH (7) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track two weeks ago.
