Flamboro Downs Race 5 - Race 5
PUNCHESINBUNCHES (2) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at Mohawk Park, finishing second and just 4 metres from the winner. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. TOTAL STRANGER (4) made it two wins from his last five outings five days ago, getting home by 1.5 metres over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway. Finds a tougher race but another win is on the cards. ONTOP RAINMAN (8) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 1609m. NAZARE (1) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at Mohawk Park on March 21.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m second behind Pyrenees Hanover at Mohawk Park over 1609m HCP last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres fifth again at Mohawk Park in on March 8. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Seven-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a neck at this track (1:55.30) beating Winmebak in G on March 22 at $9.15 at the bell was 2nd-. Going very well and deserves top billing.
