Flamboro Downs Race 1 - Race 1
MERCUTIO (2) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 6 metres into sixth at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Has the benefit of a far better draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SOUTHWIND DOMINO (1) ran tenth last start at Mohawk Park over 1609m, beaten 15 metres. Expect him to be prominent. ZIP ME UP (4) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at Mohawk Park two weeks ago. SERENITY CRUISE (8) is a consistent performer with three top-three finishes on the trot. Won't let backers down.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 2.5 m at Western Fair Raceway (1:58.30) beating Captain Wania in on October 2 at $4.40 at the bell was leading. Two runs back 4th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 6th- beaten 8 m by In The Black (1:57.10) on September 26 at $7.80. Going well but looks tested this time.

Last start 9th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 9th- at the bell, beaten 10 m by Faith Step (1:52.30) in HCP on September 27 at $67.55. Won't find a favourable position in running. Not likely to trouble these.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind In The Black at this track over 1609m last start. Before that was beaten 1.3 metres second again at this track same class on September 19. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
