Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 8 - Race 8

SIDE EFFECTS (3) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last four starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and she can add to the impressive recent record. CATCHMEGRACEFULLY (8) has been most impressive of late and she made it two in a row when successful at her latest appearance over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, getting home by 5 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Steps up a level but she is capable of running another bold race. COOK THE BOOKS (1) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten a head into second at this track. No reason she cannot take this out. BLUE STAR SAPPHIRE (6) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at this track.
