Flamboro Downs Race 1 - Race 1

HAPPY IN CONTROL (2) was yet again about the mark last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 2 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Recent efforts are good enough to take out a race like this. UNISON (5) finished fourth last start, beaten 11 metres at this track over 1609m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. ADRIATICO HANOVER (3) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. MACHALKO (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
