Flamboro Downs Race 5 - Race 5
WELL SAID CELEB (6) was in the money at Kawartha Downs two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Kawartha Downs, beaten 12 metres. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. SMILES FOR MILES (8) missed the placings for the third time in a row last start when 5 metres away in sixth over 1609m at Grand River Raceway. Recent form includes a win at Grand River Raceway four starts back on August 27. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. JJ TOMMY (2) has a strong record here so must be a chance on the back of a good win over 1609m at this track last time. HASSELHOFF (7) cannot be left out after recording a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at this track eight days ago.
