Flamboro Downs Race 5 - Race 5
ROSE RUN VORTEX (1) finished third last start, beaten 3.5 metres at Grand River Raceway over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. WRY (5) finished fifth last start over 1609m at Grand River Raceway but gave a good account, beaten only 2.75 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and he can test this line-up. LOVEMYROCKINBIRD (4) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at Grand River Raceway six days ago. GENERAL CUSTARD (6) last appeared when seventh over 1609m at Georgian Downs ten weeks ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing seventh behind Smiling Dancer at Georgian Downs over 1609m in a G on August 25 at $42.45. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Control Heaven at Grand River Raceway over 1609m in a G on September 4 at $14.10. Looks the testing material.

Didn't do much last start, 9th over 1609m at Grand River Raceway, at the bell was 9th- beaten 9 m by Control Heaven (1:53.40) in G on September 4 at $100.65. Before that 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 7th- at the bell, beaten 11 m by Elliot Moose (1:51.00) on August 23 at $30.45. This appears outside his grasp.

The run prior 5th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 5th- beaten 10 m by Elliot Moose (1:51.00) on August 23 at $10.55. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.
