Flamboro Downs Race 5 - Race 5
IDEAL PERCEPTION (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3.5 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at Grand River Raceway. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the class to find the winners' list. HOWYOUPLAY THEGAME (4) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 12 metres into seventh at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BATTERUP HANOVER (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by one metre at this track over 1609m. ONTOP RAINMAN (1) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.
