Flamboro Downs Race 9 - Race 9
ESMERALDA DU LAC (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.5 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at Mohawk Park. This is a nice drop in grade so she is in the right race to find the winners' list. SAMETHINGONYDIFRNT (3) turned in a much better run last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.8 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Primary contender in a similar assignment. JAYPORT DIAMOND (10) should be at her peak for this. Finished third over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway at the latest appearance a week ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. BIKINI SEELSTER (8) must be respected after scoring last start by 0.8 metres at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: HALF FAST (2)

Last start 4th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 3rd- beaten 7 m by Bikini Seelster (1:55.30) in FM on April 30 at $3.75. Two runs back won by 1.0 m at this track (1:58.10) beating Sporty Evie in FM on April 25 at $4.85 at the bell was leading. Recent form okay so worth some thought.

Mixing form recently. Last start was 3rd over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 4th- beaten 7 m by Bikini Seelster (1:55.30) in FM on April 30 at $38.90. Before that beaten 4 metres, sixth at this track over 1609m FM on April 25. Can't see her troubling these.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing fifth behind Playsomethingsweet at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 3yo F on April 17 at $6.65. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Angels Amoung Us at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 3yo F on April 25 at $19.60. Has the ability to take this out.

Didn't do much last start, 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 8th- at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Sangria Summer (1:53.10) in 5yo FM on April 24 at $93.05. Before that 7th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 8th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by Fitness First (1:52.20) in 5yo FM on April 17 at $64.70. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Comes here second-up after nine days. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 9th- beaten 19 m by Gentrify (1:53.10) in FM on April 30 at $65.40. Impossible to tip with any confidence.
